In downtown Greenville, SC, there is a local bar/stage known as the Handlebar. It has been in business for so many years! It was here before I moved here almost 8 years ago! I have been to it several times and the Handlebar is one of my favorite places in downtown Greenville. They have very good food, drinks, music, and talent that goes in and out of that place.
However, The Handlebar will be closing on April 30th. Many people are very disappointed and wonder why the place is going to close. WYFF4 conducted some interviews and they were told that the main reason they are going to close is because they haven't payed their rent in almost 3 years. Their rent monthly is $5,691. The Handlebar has 5 owners 3 out of the 5 refused to be interviewed.
In other news, they posted on their website that they will be reopening on September 15th at a new location. Many people are excited for this, but no one knows where they are going to reopen. When they posted that they were going to close, they also announced their reopen. One of the owners said "The Handlebar will reopen Sept. 15, 2014 at a new location. Between now and then, The Handlebar plans to pack so much talent and fun into its schedule that people will be talking about it until the unveiling of a new Handlebar."
