Sad news today as one of the best bars in the city is closing in October. 'I didn't want this,' says co-owner Eric Sanchez.
Strangeways
“We tried different angles to get it from [the landlord], and it didn't work,” Strangeways owner Eric Sanchez said. “So, it was meant to be, unfortunately. I didn't want this. I didn't want it. None of us wanted [to close].” “When they listed the building for sale in August, which was August 3 of this year, we had no idea,” Rosie said. “I get a text message from the [landlord’s] granddaughter on August 6. So, for three days, it had already been listed, and we didn't get the notice like, ‘We're honoring your first right [of refusal]. Here's what we want.’ I get a text message from a little teenage girl saying, ‘We've listed the building if you're interested. This is the number for the agent.
“The building sold,” Eric said. “That's the end of our story here. There was no way. We tried. We really did try. We're not walking away because we’re petty. We're not walking away because we're angry. We're walking away. We have to. … We're gutted. There is no more hope for this. We were here for 12 years with the hope that we were going to be The Old Monk of the underdog.
The intentional appeal to a broad audience helped make Strangeways a cross-cultural hub. Any night, there could be a table of artists and musicians sitting next to a table of off-the-clock physicians from Baylor. At the same time, neighborhood regulars drink Modelo, and service industry staff smoke cigarettes on the front patio. Everyone who walked in the door was welcome, even NBA All-Star Blake Griffin, who famously visited the bar in its early days.
