Former Local 269 space back on the market


The Local 269 on East Houston at Suffolk never reopened last fall after a flood apparently KO'd much of the live music venue's equipment.

Applicants who were previously involved with the Apocalypse Lounge (2004-2007) on East Third Street between Avenue A and Avenue B apparently had designs on a new bar here. However, the applicants apparently never appeared before the CB3/SLA committee back in March, according to the CB3 meeting record.

So now the space is back in play. An EVG reader points us to this Craigslist post:

188 Suffolk Street corner of Houston St
EAST VILLAGE BAR/ RETAIL SPACE in Prime Location
· Located at 269-271 East Houston St

The Local 269 space was previously home to Meow Mix and Vasmay Lounge. The Local opened in February 2009.
