As I first reported on Jan. 13, The Telephone Bar & Grill on Second Avenue near Ninth Street, an EV mainstay the last 22 years, was closing at the end of the month... there was an "end of the era" farewell Sunday night for regulars...and today, the bar was papered over...awaiting its new tenant, something from the owner of Down The Hatch, among others...
My post on Jan. 13 solicted several reader comments...an outpouring that took me by surprise...

The Telephone Bar and Grill closing after 22 years
What's coming to The Telephone Bar space? Some fratty debauchery, perhaps

RIP Telephone Bar.
I'm surprised you're surprised, EVG. Telephone Bar was one of the few tolerable bars right around this stretch. It was getting increasingly intolerable with frattards in recent times, but was not as bad as a lot of other nearby bars. Will definitely be missed!
That just pisses me off. I hear it's turning into a sports bar. Jesus Christ...
What a bummer...their curry fries will be sorely missed. :(
I wonder where I can watch the fantastic Wednesday-night singer?? That back room was so precious!!
