Heathers has new owners

[Image via]

Yesterday, we noted the item about an Election Night Party at Heathers on East 13th Street. As a follow-up, the bar just east of Avenue A has been sold. We saw the listing for the space dating back to the spring... apparently the sale quietly went through late in the summer...

The partners are Greg Brier, Mark Dizon, Mike Herman and Ray LeMoine.

LeMoine said they kept the news of the sale pretty low-key. As for changes?

"We intend to keep Heathers the same," he said.

Owner Heather Millstone opened Heathers in 2005 ... and the bar quickly became a lightning rod for noise complaints. (The Times had a lengthy article in January 2007 about the ongoing noise issues between the bar and neighbors.) You can read more about the bar's recent CB3 issues here.

was the dj Liza Thorn playing that Romney party the same as in Starred?

That's too bad. Any info on why? Is heather rich and tired of the bar world?

And did the new owners tell the SLA this and go through the community board as they are required to do ?

I remember reading a story about the people who lived upstairs from the bar and feeling so bad for them. I wonder if they are still there or if the noise drove them out.

Yeah Liza is our Tuesday resident. But she actually didn't DJ. Next week she'll be on.
