Rodeo Bar Will Sing Its Final Song This Month

Rodeo Bar, aka "NYC's longest running honky-tonk," will say its cowboy's farewell on July 27th. The bar announced the news on Facebook, saying that a rent hike and "a changing landscape" is forcing the shutter. "We're proud to have helped define the country, Americana and rockabilly scene in New York City for all these years. But more than that, we were supported by an incredible community of people... We can't thank y'all enough." The nightly shows will go on through July 26th. A tipster tells EV Grieve that the building is up for sale and the asking rent is $58,333 a month.
