When we drove past Island Blues on Tuesday night (5/20) there was a sign out front saying "Last Day - come say goodbye" or something like that. We ate there late last week - so at least we got one last meal in.
As someone else mentioned, it's likely to reopen under new ownership some time in the future. I certainly hope so, although I'll think of it as Island Blues forever.
Hi, I am a lurker, but had to post on this. Rumor (truely a rumor) is that it has been sold to someone stateside and will be opening up in a few weeks. Of course that might be a "few weeks"...in island time.
Don't know if anyone's noticed when they were Island Blues -- all of the signs of what it has been over the years posted on the walls and the ceilings (it's a running joke). Island Blues was just it's latest incarnation-- loved that place though!! Sad to see it go!
I hope that the rumors are true and that Island Blues is reincarnated. I did notice that the building is in very poor condition and in need of major renovation.
Not sure how much renovation will be done ($$$) as I believe "Island Blues" looses their lease when the new marina is built (again don't quote me on that just yet )
Nope - not dead in the water, and as far as I have heard they are still moving ahead (on "island time" of course ) unless you have seen an update that I have missed (quite possible ) we all agree wrong place but what can ya do ?????
Funny... not sure what to offically say to this, BUT, fear not - it will be reopening soon. Know this first hand, a good friend is involved and will be spending a lot of time on STJ.. starting, like, now.
