After spending a majority of my day at one of the Pop Culture conventions, I arrived home to the Media Command HQ to a flurry of messages and notices that mentioned that the famed Greenpoint, Brooklyn Metal Club, Saint Vitus Bar had officially closed its doors. At the time this was all social media engagement and nothing was on their official channels. Our readers might recall that the bar has had its doors closed for several months after a late night raid that was documented on the website in a post found HERE. However, while the news was buzzing, I held back on posting it until seeing something from the owners and that brief comment about it all is below.

The Owners Brief:
1120 Manhattan Ave. 2011-2024 – Saint Vitus Bar to be continued…
Thank you to everyone who was a part of it. Love and Hails,
Arty, George, David

PiercingMetal Thoughts: Since the time of its hoped for only temporary closure, Vitus had launched into a “Vitus Presents” model and used other venues around the city. It is a damned shame to learn that a re-opening shall not happen and that there isn’t even the chance to have one final Heavy Metal Hoopla as a farewell to the place. I cannot think straight right now and will be compiling some additional thoughts on this soon. Were you a regular at Saint Vitus Bar? Chime in down below in the comments and let me know some of your favorite memories from the place.

This past Saturday, the news began circulating about the Saint Vitus Bar receiving a visit by the New York Police Department while a show was in progress and subsequently being closed on the spot for an indeterminable length of time. Details were spotty but other media sources were citing a complaint from the NYC Department of Buildings which I searched and have embedded as a graphic down below. As this resized for the web you might have to make it a little larger on your device to see it more clearly. While I’m by no means an expert on NYC laws, I will admit that some of this makes no sense to me.

Today the venue took to their Official Instagram and posted some updates and also answered some of the inquiries that they have been receiving.

“On Friday February 16th in the middle of a scheduled show, the DOB shut down all operations at Saint Vitus,”
