Last night, Philthy Phil’s announced its last of last calls.
After more than eight years in business, the favorite neighborhood dive bar on 16th Street closed for good due to “unforeseen circumstances.”
The bar got a face lift more than a year ago with the help of Craig Citizen and a Friday night dance party, Ransom, and has since been a hot spot for DJs and party promoters.
As of the time this post was published, our calls to Phil’s were unanswered, though a few resident DJs and bar regulars cited decreasing business and financial issues surrounding the bar’s decision to close.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
Check out our slideshow of the last Ransom, and stay tuned for more information.
