Is Barfly closed? What's going on with that place...anybody know?

I'm not exactly sure, but they recently logged in on MySpace and I recently posted shows there.

Needed to call a couple of clubs earlier and there was no answer...

I heard from more than one person that they were temporarily closed. I was told by a manager a couple of weeks ago that all gigs are tentative. I've attempted to contact them about verifying our show on Saturday the 3rd and heard nothing, so we're off tonight as far as I'm concerned.

The Public Information Act allows access to a list of venues that TABC have violations on. Little hint... I'm not saying, I'm just saying

Hope they open soon, i really like the place.

I heard that there license is suspended because they didn't pay some tabc fees

Another TABC watchdog!! Not only does TABC cut off the "ackahol", they shut some bars down completely for several days because they were heavily fined for major violations, i.e. selling alcohol to minors after hours. Yikes, those fines are stiff. Also, sometimes I have noticed some bars listing, "closed for remodeling" on their myspaces, when TABC was the reason for closing. Not doging bars, just supporting musicians like Brett and his band. It's not cool when TABC shuts the bar down and the bars are not honest with bands. The TABC website will say exactly how much the fine is and the days they are shut down. By the way Brett, get your cats breathe checked soon, and quit feeding it cat food.

It's all good. Sometimes things happen and TABC has to put the boot down. We had fun playing there, and the staff was professional and seemed to know the rules. I wish them well. Thanks for the support, Sharon! The cat's breath is well within the normal range...but she's waiting for fishing season to get going!

Looks like there's a tentative re-opening this weekend, not sure.

I heard it was closed for good. They lost an investor and i think their TABC license or something. Not sure but I can find out.

Minus Zero is tentatively scheduled to play there Saturday. I dunno, guess they don't either. Thanks.
