The Court Tavern Closes Its Doors

damn, thats sad/odd to hear.

I always thought it was weird that New brunswick never flourished with a "medium level" music scene. the place is rocking with basement shows, and TONS of music history, but I think it could work as a place with a solid NJ Meidum level venue.

my friends played here, small place with a lot of NJ history.

Never been there before but it's always sad to see a local venue close down.

30 years is definitely something to be proud of.

Good luck! I'll back you 100%. I've only been there a few times but for a place that was the home court for Gaslight and was played numerous times by Jon Bon Jovi..I'm totally down for the Court to re-open!

Always had fun playing there. The people who ran the shows were just about always assholes & ass clowns (well, really just the sound guy's were douches). However, we always had a good time in the end.

RIP...or best of wishes to whoever attempts to save it.

Weird. I was on YouTube watching the Humble Beginnings reunion set at The Court Tavern (best night of my life? maybe) when I saw this news item.

Right, but 50 total of existence. Even you yourself submitted that number, haha.
