Village Pourhouse makes closing official

As we reported last week, Village Pourhouse, the pub-crawling hosting hotspot on 11th Street and Third Avenue, was to close after service last night. Management informed the staff last Wednesday night.

And yesterday afternoon, the Pourhouse started spreading word of their closure...


The sports bar opened in the summer of 2006. No word on the fate of their phone number — (212) 979-BEER.



A rock club called E.Vil is expected to open in the space this spring.

I'm going to miss this place like I'm going to miss the place that's replacing this place.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. And to the incoming E.Vil - I know you think you're bein' all cool and edgy with that Grinning Skull and Crossed Guitars logo (I can only imagine the high fives all around when someone came up with that clever, clever name), but you're basically just going to be a Times Square tourist joint that somehow wound up on Third Avenue. Congratulations.

@Gojira: You are correct!

The fact that this place annoyed people and that the place that's replacing this place will continue to annoy people (mostly the regulars here) makes it all the more enjoyable.

Good bye with no regrets.

One wonders if douchebars like this which was unfortunately thriving, then what type of business will last long in the EVill?

I wouldn't describe this place as iconic as they do. It had a 10 year run, which is the blink of an eye in NYC, and it never caught on with locals. It was all NYU students getting wasted and harassing passerby.
