Court Tavern to reopen in nov day that Michael Barrood of Mike Courtside Sports Bar and Grill bought the shuttered Court Tavern, Scene of thousands of special rock shows, New Brunswick pros have awaited its reopening,/p> They won't have to wait much longer,/p> based on a report by Marissa Oliva in the Rutgers Targum, Barrood plans to begin the Court's new era on Nov. 3. No word yet on who Barrood promises to book to play his opening party, Or if there'll be music at all New Era Caps Deutschland that night,/p> legal court Tavern, Church Street's rickety landmark, Was the last holdout against a wave of redevelopment that converted New Brunswick from a central hub of Jersey musical activity to a town with very few legitimate options  for bands.

Gaslight Anthem loved the judge scene so much that Brian Fallon wrote a song about it: "diamond's Church Street Choir,/p> Barrood has used a liquor license, And does intend to have bands during the basement. He's also creating a private secondfloor lounge where patrons can watch a live stream of the groups. That strikes me as unlike to the populist spirit of the Court, But there's probably an executive limit to how much polishing Barrood will do. Those worried that the club will lose its ramshackle character often will rest easy,/p>
