We haven’t confirmed this with owners Tim and Ellen Russi yet, but a message posted to the Tipperary Inn’s Myspace page last night announced the pub is closing.

Here is part of the message:

"Due to the downturn in the economy with declines in sales and an unsuccessful lease renegotiation, we have decided to close our doors. These past five years have been a great experience for us. We have met and have special relationships with so many wonderful people here – we will greatly miss you all.  We will certainly treasure many of the memories and special occasions that we have hosted at the pub."

According to the message, the pub will host its usual events, such as karaoke tonight and trivia on Tuesday night, and will close after an album release party Saturday. I will post an update as soon as I know more.
