That's what a reader asked after this weekend on Avenue C near East Eighth Street ... the place didn't look open (you know — locked door, drawn curtains, no lights) ... and we spotted this note on the window late Saturday afternoon...
Back in August, East Village Eats wondered if the bar was on its last legs. EVE noted that, earlier in the summer, the bar lost access to the basement and had to pull all of their taps and only serve bottled beer. At the time, a manager confirmed that the place was on the way out...
If so, then this is too bad... Duke's is/was a nice, normal neighborhood bar... without the showy cocktails or general stupidity of some East Village bars...

yeah, closed since new years day. sad.
I'd like to think the tap situation had little to do with it. I used to hang out here but made a point to drink only bottles here as the tap beer didn't taste so good. This place was pretty mellow, I liked shooting pool here even though the table was a little slanted.
