In case you missed it (I know I certainly did) – downtown hookah bar Torch has gone up in smoke. The King Street lounge closed its doors for the final time back on July 19th.
A post on the venue’s Facebook page indicates that management is planning to reopen at some point, but with a brand new concept.
The post reads:
“Torch Lounge opened up in March of 2005. Long before street scape, parking meters, restaurants and foot traffic. The landscape on upper king has changed dramatically over the last 9 years and we have been exceedingly proud to be a part of it. That said we will be retiring Torch and moving forward with a concept that we feel better serves the ever changing and more discriminating clientele. Stay tuned for details…”
Will you miss the bar?
