[Club Mystique, July 2011]Mystique. Chrystie 141. Inga. Three failed ventures associated with one address that all suffered the same outcome. With the club space at 141 Chrystie Street having recently undergone regime change, the new ownership is hoping the fourth time is a charm. Out of left field comes Bobby’s.
Bobby’s is the handiwork of Selim Adira and Bobby Persson, alumni from heavy-hitters Southside and GunBar respectively. Renovations have been underway on the new nightspot since earlier this year. Totally under the radar. Although, the social media component of the business is already up and running with official website, Twitter, and Facebook pages.
The joint is slated to open next weekend. How do you think Bobby’s will fare?
