An EVG reader who lives on First Avenue notes that The Nite Owl, the cocktail lounge at 166 First Ave. near East 10th Street, has been dark all week.
There's an invite on the Nite Owl's Facebook page for a closing party last weekend...
The space went under a renovation and changed from North River to the Nite Owl back in March. North River, which served American-style comfort food from chef Adam Starowicz, opened in December 2013.
No word about the status of Dead Drop, the sorta hidden speakeasy in the basement.

The for rent sign arrived today…

They seemed to be drowning the last few months...
Started out as a cool local place for food, North River, and then tried to change into a douche bar with cheap bear and food...
I wonder if this and other recent bar closings are finally a sign that we have reached the bar over saturation point?
I still don't get the move away from North River. It was really good, and finally seemed to be taking off right before they turned it into a douchey college bar.
What does it mean to "party"? Is it just drinking alcohol and talking over loud music? Or is there more to it?
12:49 I have been wondering the same thing for YEARS.
I never went to this place. I don't even know where it is.
"What does it mean to "party"? Is it just drinking alcohol and talking over loud music? Or is there more to it?"
Well it always seems to involve some conversation, alcohol and drugs usually. music volume levels vary as well as voices. My rule of thumb is the younger the "partiers" the louder the music and the voices. Having said that we only have the younger kind in the EV these days.
I believe "partying" is connected to 7:05 am ... "cheap bear."
Now THAT sounds intriguing! Wild. Rowr.
I missed this place....because I never even heard of it.
Judging from the comments, it doesn't look like I missed a whole lot.
This is the place where I occasionally drank beers while waiting for my laundry across the street. Not the best nor worst - I'll be fine
12:49 - when I think of partying a bar is the last place I want to be - they suck
