• Lakeside Lounge (La Ritt Inc), 162-164 Ave B (op)
...we did notice that workers have finally taken down the sign and painted the former Lakeside Lounge on Avenue B near East 10th Street ... the popular music venue closed in April after 15 years...
In reporting on the closure, New York Music Daily wrote that the Lakeside "will be replaced by a gentrifier whiskey joint, no doubt with $19 artisanal cocktails and hedge fund nebbishes trying to pick up on sorostitutes when their boyfriends are puking in the bathroom – or out of it."
That just seemed to be just an angry reaction to the Lakeside's closure... there's nothing official, but we did hear that someone involved with Niagara would be taking over the space... Meanwhile, if you have any tips, please let us know via the EV Grieve email ...

Word in the LES is that Jesse Malin (Niagara)and Tom Clark (2A) and another are buying it.
Tom Clark is not involved.
Yes, last I heard from a previous employer one of the current owners Laura is still involved and will partner with Jesse Malin. Not so sure it's gonna be a whiskey bar but do know it will no longer have live music:(
I've seen a tall, pretty blonde girl go in there a few times since it closed. If I'm not mistaken, it's the same girl who used to live across the street from me on 13th street 15 years ago.
I interviewed to work at the new place a couple of weeks ago. I was interviewed by a Maria not a Laura. Does this mean I have to go to another interview?
Any word on where the old photo booth is going?
@ Jacob
It's at Hi-Fi on Avenue A.
