T.J. Keane's Pub 1982 - 2004 - one of the favorite homes of Uncle Roy's Friday Beverage Club closed its doors on July 28th, 2004. Known as Michael's Place during its Beverage Club run from 1992 to 1994, it was located on 8 Ave 'twixt 47 and 48 Streets, oh so convenient to the recently relocated Ogilvy and Mather. It remained a stop on the Beverage Club itinerary right through the final years.
Part of the facade of Keane's collapsed in September, 2002, but the pub reopened none the worse for wear a couple of months later.
Keane's was purchased by the folks who own another bar, Social, just down the block. They turned Keane's into a multi-level pub, Latitude, similar to Social.
Our daytime bartender, John Keane moved around the corner to The Blarney Stone (47 Street 'twixt 8 and 9 Aves.) Stop by and say hi.
O'Lunney's was housed at several locations in midtown, it was the final home base and location of the very last Beverage Club when it was on 46 Street 'twixt 6 Ave and Broadway. It's now moved one block south.
Jimmy Walker's on 55 Street near 2 Ave was the last surviving home base of the Beverage Club until it's closure in 2005.
On a related note, in December 2004, long time home base Fiddler's Green re-opened as NC4, some sort of fern bar. No one went so it was renamed Channel 4 Irish Bar and Restaurant and de-ferned.
