[Updated] The Marshal seizes Luca Bar on St. Mark's Place



Several readers pointed out this notice, dated Monday, on the bar-restaurant at 119 St. Mark's Place. There isn't any mention of a closure at this time at the Luca Bar Facebook page. Calls to the bar are directed to an automated voice-message system.

This isn't the first time that the Luca Bar has had a run-in with the Marshal/landlord/State of New York. There was an eviction notice served last June.

In June 2011, the Marshal seized the bar as well. According to The Local , the owners owed state tax officials $31,385.49, not including interest and penalties; that the bar has six open warrants for unpaid taxes dating to November 2009.

They always seem to be able to bounce back.

The folks behind Luca Bar recently opened the Roost on Avenue B.

Updated 4/11
Luca Bar is back open for business.
