Corridor Bar, a “rum and agave forward” study in blue located at 712 E. Market St. (on the contested border of new-school NuLu and old-school Phoenix Hill), has closed following a three year run.

A Chicken Cock Whiskey tasting room in NuLu (where Gertie’s used to be)

The oddity in this story is that Gertie’s Whiskey Bar made a final Facebook post on June 14 and then promptly disappeared without a trace, seemingly overnight. According to Stephen P.

Gordon Biersch closes downtown at Fourth Street Live
