The bar formerly known as Painkiller is closing later this month. Owner Richie Boccato tells The Lo-Down: "The landlord has decided not to renew our lease, and the Community Board has decided that they do not want us to open a new bar at a new location in the East Village. 'The End.'" Boccato has not announced an exact closing date yet. [TLD, Previously]
