I am moving to the neighborhood and reading this is freaking me out! Anyone know if this bar is back open?

Besides this bar, how is the rest of the nearby neighborhood? I've never lived in JC before, but the many times I've walked around I've never felt unsafe (I also never walked around this area late at night), but reading the posts in this forum make me feel nervous walking from the Grove St station in the dark.......

A lot of negative publicity regarding this once FINE establishment, catering to the revolutionaries, as opposed to the DOMINATED (by corporate culture) haunts such as White Star Bar. And all the other johnny-come-lately CAPITALISTS. Like all the ones imported from MNHTTN and BKLYN. Terrible amount of "corporate"capitalists coming in now, catering to the equally dispicable MBAs walking around working for the Goldman Sachs! This here is GROUND ZERO for corporate capitalist PIGS working for the pernicious WALL STREET WEAKINGS AND WALL STREET WHIMPS!

A tragedy though, that gone is this establishment. Where now can we obtain beer after hours?

Goodie-goodie Capitalists. BY THE THROAT I choke you with a serrated edge knife. Goodie goodies with your six figure income (which by the way, excluding NON MERETRICIOUS bonus) is NOMINAL, even in less expensive parts of America) you mean NOTHING. This was a fine establishment. Regardless of the goodie goodie capitalists who hold fast to the idea that Jersey City, let alone America, is somehow not bought and paid for.

I loved this place, the family that owned it so far nicer than the the complaining businesses and residents nearby! When the revolution comes people -- AND IT WILL -- this corner of 7th and Monmouth will be FAR more humane.

Oh, by the way...to the Wall Street morons (the disgraceful pigs)..,those bonuses? Well those bonouses are NON MERETRICIOUS. Always habe been, and ALWAYS WILL BE!

Lol, lol, till death!

If that means there will be some peace and quiet in the neighborhood, even if only temporarily, great.

I honestly never understood peoples' opposition to that place though. I lived across the street from it for years and never was really bothered by it. Yes, it could get loud sometimes but many people, including myself, moved into the neighborhood knowing full well that the place was there. They chose to "come to the nuisance" as the legal term goes.

People complained earlier in this thread about their kids' bedroom windows facing the noisy building - well why did you choose to live by the place, especially when you have children? This is a city people. You want quiet, tree lined streets 24/7? Move further out into Essex or Warren County. You don't want to live that far from your job? Not my problem. Not the bar's or anybody else's problem. I honestly don't understand people who continue to live in this city when they have school-age children who could easily afford to live in a quiet suburb with decent public schools anyway.

The place met all the zoning requirements and was not breaking any laws simply by being a bar. Maybe they were in violation of noise-related laws but again, this is a city. Live with it.

That is awesome. I just noticed the signs on the outside of the place are gone. I'm trying to not get too excited.

JCman24,
Music Box aka Maria's Bar has been closed since last Monday, and not just this last weekend. I asked a friend who is a bar owner in DTJC if he knew why they were closed, and he said he heard through the grapevine that they were in some trouble. He wasn't willing to give details, but said he knew and wasn't surprised they were closed. He said he had no idea if the closure was permanent.
I hate this damn bar...I live across the street from it and the clientele it attracts for the most part are the scum of the earth. I hope they finally got busted for letting folks deal drugs out of there and or for serving those under 21.
