One of Indy’s time-honored neighborhood bars, The Bulldog Bar and Lounge announced this week that it is closing its doors on Friday. Included in the 52-year-old haunt’s Facebook statement: “We will miss everyone and all stories we have heard or shared together. It’s time to watch someone else make great memories here.”
Last call at The Bulldog joins a handful of other recent and upcoming closures around the city, including the Fashion Mall location of Napolese (June 28); More Than Burgers inside Greenwood Park Mall; and the brick-and-mortar iteration of Garfield Park’s Skosh (August), which will continue as a pop-up series.
