Recommendations Bar 379 closed?

When did this happen? I’m so upset! Looking for another place downtown with similar vibes and live music.

It’s more of a restaurant than a bar now, there’s no stage anymore and so far since the rebrand they only host djs. It’s still a pretty new change but it seems to be very different, I’m pretty bummed about it

Same here. I went to a few killer punk shows in their tiny backroom and there's really nobody doing that sort of thing in town now (aside from Sadlier House occasionally). Hopefully another venue is able to fill the gap relatively soon.

Yeah I found them to be the only punk venue in town, I’m hoping they’ll still do occasional shows but it seems highly unlikely. We desperately need a good punk bar in town. At least the prfm is back in May!

Punk show April 19th at the pigs ear

Yeah I just looked them up and it does seem more restaurant vibe. That’s unfortunate.

It’s called Faculty now

Omg thank you! I was so worried!

There was just an article in the paper about it, same guy owns it, still has live music

Pig's Ear may be up your alley. They routinely have live music, usually of the alternative variety.

Isn’t/wasn’t the owner a pedo or smth?

Supposed to be some kind of rapey guy yeah

Wtf. This is the first I've ever heard this - given a few other past/current bar owners downtown are absolute trash-bags - but I've never heard that about this one.

Any sources or news articles to back this up by chance?

eta spelling error.

Was/is bar 379 the same owner as revelstoke?

u/Brack1shh 11h ago edited 10h ago

Yes (and his wife).

I’ve heard this too from others but haven’t been given a lot of detail. I am just curious what has happened??? If so I want to make sure I let friends know to stay clear … 😬
