Identity Bar and Lounge closed after service last Thursday night. The bar on East Sixth Street between Avenue A and Avenue B had a bit of a strip-mall vibe until former bartenders from Bar 82 took over the space for the owner back in the spring.
However, despite helping create a better neighbor ambiance, we understand that the owner was still in arrears ... and could not pull himself out of the financial hole that he was in before the Bar 82 folks came aboard. No word on what's next here.
