So, I've heard the stories and read the news about why Eddie B's closed, but I'm interested to find out if anyone knows anything about what has happened to the building.
Has it been sold? Are there plans to renovate and open a new business? Does anyone know of a website that can provide some information?

Thanks!

I'm not sure. I used to love that place. I always went there when all the other bars were too crowded. I went there ( I beleive it was their last night open) one night and it was surrounded by undercover cop cars. We walked in on what should have been a busy night and were literally the only people there. Apparently they had just been raided. Everyone working there was really freaked out. It's a shame that it closed down.
