    It's life. We will all die one day too.

    I mean Carnegies....I have been there moons ago...ok fine it was a bar...but yeah ok...I get it some people were attached to it but it's not like it was even great (food or drinks). It was cheap and cheerful so I guess it will be missed but passed the 2 weeks post closing, no one will really remember.

    All I hope is owner and staffs get a new job/business venture and keep making a good living, for the rest..it's life.

    I vaguely remember dancing on the bar (once and only once) because that was the thing to do...
    Was there a couple of months ago with the girls. The band was amazing and the drinks were reasonable. We were in another bar, that wanted to charge us $98 for a mojito and we were a group of 10. We left and popped into Carnegies and were pleasantly surprised to find out it was HH (until it closes) and a mojito menu. We tried them ALL!

    Kidding but seriously that whole stretch of street needs a change anyway. Same old same old places in the 10+y I have been here.

    Totally agree with that, that's why I said, I get it, some might be attached to it
