Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Nonetheless, I was surprised when I heard that the Real Bar had shut its doors. I’m trying to find out more information about the cause, etc., but I’ve heard that there’s a health department notice taped to the front door, and the bar’s Myspace page says that it’s relocating “very soon.” However, it also says that any shows currently booked will still go on, but in the comments there’s a message from the California band Kill Deville, which was supposed to play on May 2nd there, saying, “NOT CONTACTING THE BANDS THAT TOUR AND DRIVE 6 HRS TO PLAY AT YOUR BAR IS CRAP. YOU WILL BE CONTACTED BY OUR ATTORNEY.”
The Myspace page isn’t receiving messages, but I’ll try to find out what’s up over there. Meanwhile, if you have any information about the bar’s closing or relocation, hit me up in the comments.
