It gets circulated around powers that be in the county, and hopefully if some enforcement teeth come in from DeWine, it can have even more bite. This works for all sorts of businesses- also what you see on the county site are reports from the Past 14 Days. https://cuyahogacounty.us/masks/submit-a-report

November 20, 20204 yr Truly horrible news, but I expect more big closings like this to happen with no help from the government.
November 20, 20204 yr Yeah no government aid and I doubt very few of these places will make it. Really going to hit downtown hard. Too bad Trump and the republicans could care less.

November 20, 20204 yr On 11/20/2020 at 10:01 AM, skiwest said: Yeah, once Biden shuts everything down, that will help. The government has failed to properly support these businesses during times of decreased capacity. We know the spread is coming from bars and restaurants so yes I think temporary shutdowns should happen but they need to be supported financially during that time. The feds have put these governors in an impossible situation to either shut them down destroying the business or let the virus run rampant and kill more people. There is a clear solution to this, but the GOP doesn’t care because the goal is to make the economy look terrible so they can position themselves for the midterms. Republicans have no party platform other than to stay in power. It’s disgusting. sorry for the off topic, I’ll see myself out. Edited November 21, 20204 yr by Ruken

(Although I’m sure the pandemic is making it a lot harder for him to secure a new location, as he wants to do.) “CLEVELAND, Ohio – One of the oldest bars in Cleveland is about to end its 100-year run, closing the door on a colorful past, rich history and many memories. “Morgan Cavanaugh, who owns Moriarty’s Pub, an E. 6th Street fixture nestled between Superior and Euclid avenues, started a gofundmepage page this month to finance a move to store the bar’s items. Wednesday afternoon, as people were preparing for quiet Thanksgiving dinners at home, Cavanaugh was hustling kegs around, running to the bank, and lining up tradesmen, plumbers, laborers and carpenters.” When is the last time I-71 turned a profit?
November 26, 20204 yr ^ It’s a shame, it’s a great bar and Morgan is certainly a character. I may have been a bit drunk, but I’m sure he told me one time that he’s only the second-ever owner of the bar. He started working there as a college kid in the 70s for an old boy who had owned it since its opening in the 20s and bought it off him. My hovercraft is full of eels

November 27, 20204 yr What a sad result it would be if Moriarty's ends up re-locating in a suburb like Willoughby. Does downtown even have any old time bars left anymore? And what is the infatuation of new building owners kicking out long time, and frankly their only, tenants just for the building to sit completely vacant for years, even decades, on the promise of mixed use? 900 Euclid ave, now this. Edited November 27, 20204 yr by AsDustinFoxWouldSay
November 30, 20204 yr yeah i hate that. sometimes there are reasons, but often not, its just the end of the lease and the owners do not want to bother. i'm sure they could have at least just stayed month to month for awhile, what's the rush?

Morgan may be a character but he wasn’t real cool when I brought a group of out of towners in there a year or so ago. Talk about a wet blanket; dude made a bad impression. Now I see he has his hand out to pay for relocating his business. Hmm. I used to go to Moriaritys before this Morgan guy bought it but it is too bad to see another downtown joint closing.

January 12, 20214 yr https://www.cleveland19.com/2021/01/11/nighttown-restaurant-music-venue-change-hands/ Rico Pietro of Cushman Wakefield is the buyer of Nighttown. Still unclear who the lead chef will be, although not Michael Symon (which, all love to Symon aside, is probably a good thing for the restaurant's continuity). Supposedly the plan is to keep the restaurant mostly unchanged but with some "modest functional renovations." This sounds like a win so long as the new chef has the humility not to screw around with the menu too much. I would wonder if it will be Doug Katz, who just lost his old flagship and has been testing waters in the area recently with his new place Zhug about 100 feet down the road.
