Less than 24 hours later, camps returned, and despite our pleas, have seen no action from the city to stop the re-entrenchment. We can’t ask our guests or staff to continue to endure this health and safety nightmare.
The bar said they would refund people who purchased tickets for upcoming events, and they're having a farewell event on Sunday. "We worked hard to provide a safe and welcoming place for all members of our community to celebrate, play, and give back to others for the last 6 years, despite some tremendous obstacles," the email said."Thanks from the bottom of our hearts to those of you who have supported us through thick and thin, we appreciate you and wish you all the best. Until we meet again, be safe, love, be loved, take care of each other, and keep fond memories of Triangle Bar in your hearts.
