Flanagan's Harp & Fiddle closed at the end of September, as expected. But the owner left a personal message on the door for loyal patrons. Montgomery County pandemic restrictions on live music and the Bethesda Streetery were cited as the factors that sealed the fate of the longtime downtown Bethesda Irish pub. An incredible run, but what a sad end for a landmark fixture in the community, and for the musicians and employees who made it what it was.

"Last call has been given" as Flanagan's Harp & Fiddle closes in Bethesda
Flanagan's Harp & Fiddle closed at the end of September, as expected. But the owner left a personal message on the door for loyal patrons. Montgomery County pandemic restrictions on live music and the Bethesda Streetery were cited as the factors that sealed the fate of the longtime downtown Bethesda Irish pub. An incredible run, but what a sad end for a landmark fixture in the community, and for the musicians and employees who made it what it was.
Another vacant property brought to you by the corrupt MoCo Cartel....
ReplyDeleteDon't look for anyone to lease or redevelop this space in the midst of a pandemic. Shameful.
