'We do have some news to share … tonight’s live stream with Dan Sartain and Western Settings will be the last performance from our stage. 'The phone has been ringing off the hook today for some reason,' the post read. No more pink elephants, no more incredible playlist, no more TCM on the tube, no more crowded shots at the 8 ball, no more bad bands, no more great bands, no more dance nights with Junior the DiscoPunk, no more two-for$5 Tecates, just no more … Bar Pink.Ī post on Pink's Facebook page coyly commented on the news.
Like all bars and music venues, Bar Pink has been extremely financially challenged during the pandemic, attempting to sell to-go cocktails to survive, but had struggled throughout. And they'll never again luck into a free show fronted by Bar Pink co-owner and Rocket From the Crypt frontman John 'Swami' Reis. San Diego's smoothest daytime bartender, Lorenzo, will never again greet them as they walk, temporarily blinded, into the darkest, pinkest bar they ever entered. It's hard to believe, but San Diegans will never walk into 3829 30th Street in the heart of San Diego's hippest 'hood and see the pink-haired Robin and blond-coiffed Barb ever again. After struggling to survive during the coronavirus closure for seven months, the landmark North Park watering hole Bar Pink is permanently shutting down.
