DUMBO’s ReBar Claims Bankruptcy, Leaves Staff Stranded

By on May 9, 2014 12:47 pm in DUMBO

Gothamist reports that DUMBO’s ReBar has closed and is claiming bankruptcy:

Signs were put up at the restaurant sometime early this morning, and managers were sent a brief email from owner Jason Stevens early Friday morning, reading in full: “Rebar is bankrupt and closed. Please dispose of your keys and do not enter the premises. Please forward to any staff not included.”

The report adds that “several” staffers showed up for duty this morning only to find that their jobs have ended.

    Maybe speak with the National Park Service and try getting something like Floyd Bennett Field in the outskirts of Brooklyn. It’s a beautiful place, has a ton of parking. You also have Brooklyn Bridge Park and Prospect Park if you’re looking for something that may be cheap, if not free, for the venues.

    For those scrambling for venues, try speaking with the National Park Service, if not the Mayor’s office (or local politico) and try getting something
    like Floyd Bennett Field in the outskirts of Brooklyn. It’s a beautiful
    place, has a ton of parking. You also have Brooklyn Bridge Park and
    Prospect Park if you’re looking for something that may be cheap, if not
    free as alternatives. Just saying—why not take the shot-in-the-dark?
