I miss the old Sunday brunch @ Cafe Venus, before it was sold. The new management screwed over a friend who worked there, so I haven't been back since the change.

@5 Interesting. Chase canceled my line of credit a few months ago. Not because of late payments or anything, they just felt like it. They decided that because my house had gone down in value (um, like everyone's?) I should go from a $100,000 limit to zero.
I will miss the Mars Bar! Support your remaining small venues, readers...local bands have to start somewhere!

Chase sucks on January 8, 2013 at 7:28 PM
i liked that space. friendly bar staff, good food, treated bands well. i'm not really surprised to see it close though, it was a tough location for that kind of venue.
It's less likely a Chase and more likely something having to do with Amazon taking over that area and making rents that much more expensive. I can't help but wonder if El Corazon can weather the storm.
Who says it's going to be Chase? A couple of businesses closed on 35th Ave NE and they put in a Key Bank last year. And banks really do fuck up a neighborhood. Instead of Desert Sun Tanning and some ladies boutique called "Fresh" we have a Key Bank with a guard standing in front of it all day long. It really makes an area feel sleazy.
Please let El Cozazon be next! Those guys are assholes! I can't even count the number of incidences I can think of with that place and people I know! I still want my money back from the concert they wouldn't let me back into because I went outside to smoke!
