The iconic Soho pub Milady's, a classic dive bar, has shut its doors for good, serving its last beer at closing time early Monday.
The downtown joint, which had operated on the corner of Thompson and Prince Streets for nearly 70 years, was no longer able to survive in the gentrified Manhattan neighborhood.
"I serve burgers. A beer is five bucks," the owner, Frank Genovese, told The New York Times. "I can no longer sustain that formula. It doesn't work anymore."
Neighbors said the building had recently been put up for sale.
After word spread over the weekend that the bar was shutting, local blue-collar booze hounds packed in for one last night of cheap beer and shots.
"Another classic closing down," tweeted Joe Salvatore. "Milady's in Soho bites the dust. This place was a real gem."
A waitress who worked ar the pub for 19 years said that she's losing more than just a another gig.
"Everybody that walks through this door, I pretty much know their name and what they drink," Kim Murray told WNYC. "It's going to be hard to stay goodbye."
