Farewell to The Leif Irish Pub in Bay Ridge

Earlier tonight, I saw two messages about The Leif Bar closing and residents expressing their disappointment.
Mike, the owner of The Leif posted this:

Mike knew how to run a bar and Ridgites were sad to hear The Leif closed.

The owner of the building put the building up for sale last January. See here:
What the picture of the property above doesn’t show is the long, spacious driveway.

This bar was a gathering place for people who loved live music every weekend plus during the week for BINGO and karaoke as well.

Good luck Mike The Leif will be missed by so many Brooklynites.
Hugs,
marlene

Dang! I just came here to ask you if you knew about this. End of an era (part two).
