Stay Classy, the Will Ferrell tribute bar on the Lower East Side, will sign off the air this week. The bar, which opened in October of last year, will throw a few final parties before closing, The Lo-Down reports.
The concept's doing well as a pop-up, however, recently mixing Smelly Pirate Hooker cocktails in Los Angeles, with future pop-ups planned for Boston, Miami and Philly, according to the owners. They're also planning future NYC iterations of Stay Classy and promise something "so awesome" is coming to the 174 Rivington Street space. Co-owner Zach Neil tells us the new project, opening in February, will "pay tribute a time period in the coolest way possible!"
Neil and co-owner Brian Link's other themed bar—an ode to director Tim Burton—appears to still be in working order.
