The owners ran it into the ground (weren't keeping it up and had stopped paying their bills) and the bartenders were giving away the bar to their friends. Towards the end the bartenders were actually bringing in bottles of booze they bought to replace the ones they had given away.

When the owners came in at 6AM to put a lock on the doors and shut the place down there were bartenders partying there with friends.

I recall hearing that one of the "bills" the owners stopped paying was the IRS for payroll taxes. Restaurant shut down suddenly in 1995, just as we were fixing up a house we bought a couple blocks away. I remember going for carry-out burgers one day while we were painting - went back the next day and found it locked up.
