Hey guys, We would like to give you all some relief and clarity on this whole situation: Temple Bar the name is closing, NOT THE LOCATION. IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE A LIVE MUSIC VENUE FOR THE WESTSIDE!!! So don't worry about losing anything in that respect; our plan is to keep an eclectic, underground vibe and continue to feature upcoming and talented artists throughout the years to come! We know we have some big shoes to fill here but we wanted to at least respond and make sure people know that we are not a corporate entity in any way, shape, or form, but rather two young and enthusiastic owners, soon to be married much the same as Louie and Netty Ryan, and hope we can carry on the legacy of the location. Our new name will be Dakota Lounge, and please feel free to email either of us directly. We welcome your thoughts and comments, and definitely your concerns. You can reach us at either, sabrina@dakota-lounge.com or alex@dakota-lounge.com. We will be making a press release both online and in the music publications as things get closer. Our target date to reopen is Halloween, but as you know, things can change so we will keep you posted on that. We hope to see you all at the grand re-opening! Warmest regards, Sabrina and Alex

I threw back handfuls of Darvocet there one night with the legendary Ike Willis. Sigh

Nothing quite like Dakah at the Temple. I'll miss it.
