It has been closed for an extended period recently. Artwalk, and Wednesday night Karaoke for the last two weeks, which was a highlight, which would indicate it is shutting down?
This bar had a discussion some time ago, and it was in the vein of hope for downtown when it first opened. The current situation is what worries me. There are few bars that I enjoy all by myself, but this bar has a lot to offer.
Is there any hope of salvaging this? Stephen or anyone, have you been in touch with the owners? Is there anything we could do?
I don't want to see this bar go "bye bye" and am searching for ways. Is there a way to contact the owner/tenant? Can't strings be pulled? Marketing? Anything.... I would hate to see this go. I'm prepared to work fulltime to keep this happening, as I have the time, if it is not too late ?
The ONLY problem I ever saw with the Sinclair is that it stands alone in "no mans land". I am afraid it is a fatal flaw...
I think it closed for good? Looks very deserted and I think the sign is gone. I only went once but I really like the decor and what not. I don't think they had a full bar (I don't think they sold liquor) and that's definitely a negative. They might have made it if they could have held out until the new courthouse opened, but I think it's curtains for them. Or maybe they'll reopen when the courthouse is done?
As far as I know, it is certainly closed.
Friends of mine ran the burlesque/figure-drawing night "Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art Class" out of the Sinclair and have since moved to the Metro because of the closing.
