newk's closing

Post by *wahine*surfer »

:cry: sad news for all of the great people who have come to tampa for shows in the past... newk's cafe on channelside dr. is closing forever... in addition to jack's poor condition, they just haven't been doing enough business to keep it open (since hockey never happened and they opened the new amphitheatre), so they sold it and condos will be going up in its place...

Bummer. I never did make it there, but people here seem to have real positive memories.

Dang it!!.....when we went to Newk's in Feb 2003 before the Buffett show it was one of the best parties going!!

Do you think when the condos are built the owners would let Buffett fans party in the building anyways...for old times sake?? :D :wink:

That's a freaking shame. I had a blast at that place a couple of times. I guess they might as well shut down the Ice Palace now.

Who the hell would want to look out their window and see the ice palace? Should also be nice a quiet on days when something is going on in the arena. :roll:

I ate there once before a Springsteen concert in 2002 I believe it was.

Damn condos will replace anything, even historical sites (look at the Clearwater Beach Hotel!) :evil:
