Can anyone confirm that the Elbow Room has once again closed its doors?
According to my friend Andy, there’s a sign on their door that says, “closed until sold.” If anyone has details, I’d love to hear them.

What ever happened with the lawsuit that the owner of the Elbow Room brought against Andy Garris? Was it thrown out?
scuttle but: yes they are closed, scheduled shows are moved to Live @ PJ’s in Ann Arbor. Fail. I hope Red Rock opens soon and still plans to have music. It would also be nice if there were shows at the Tap Room, but I gather they’re not really interested in anything that’s not blues or covers.
There was a horribly written ad on Craigslist attempting to sell the place w/ liquor license for $250k
Any word as to what’s the latest status of the closed, Pub-13, Savoy/Devine, etc Dave Curtis businesses?
Anybody have any info on what Curtis is up to now?
Thank you,

Word on the street is that Curtis set up a piano bar in Jackson.
If all the readers of MM.com contributed $50,000, we could buy the Elbow Room.
Here’s the listing.

How much is a liquor license by itself these days?
Mr. X,
Thank you for the info.

Mr. X,
Do you have info on Mr. Curtis venture in Jackson or is it just in the early stages of happening?
Watching Laughing.
I think we should get iffy pop to buy it.
I did hear that Dave has another bar.
Where is the bar?
Thank you,
Watching Laughing.
Why is everyone looking at me?
The really sad part of this is that I didn’t know it ever reopened.
I recall seeing Pub 13 listed for sale at around $550k. I’m too lazy to find the listing again though.
Yep, mismanaged and closed again. Word is the recent guy running got busted by the LCC for being drunk and now can’t own a liqour license, so he got tossed out by the owner. Can’t blame them. Seems the place was starting to ramp up pretty decently. The previous mgr garris was busted for embezzelment of over 300k, he will soon be in the slammer.
Again on Craig’s List, this time with the following enticement:
The liquor license could be used anywhere in the county, but this is a package deal. How about 2 businesses???
Open another establishment in AA with the license and rent out the Ypsi. location.

I don’t think that’s how it works.
Buried in a Concentrate story about the live music scene that came out today is a mention of the fact that Elbow Room is reopening. Here’s the paragraph in question. (The Garris quoted is Andy Garris, the owner of Woodruff’s.)
I’ve heard this rumor from others as well–sale is in the works
