Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
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.
Check out our slideshow of the last Ransom, and stay tuned for more information.
