Smash Bar has closed. The nightclub, located downtown at 1405 Washington Ave., had become a favorite of late-night revelers looking to curb midnight hunger pangs when it launched last year on New Year’s Eve. “I’m taking a bar and smashing it with a fast-food restaurant,” was how Jessie Jones, charged with creating the menu and opening Smash Bar, described the concept to The Scoop when the venue first opened.
Why can we no longer get our late-night fix of Smash Bar’s sliders, fries, or peanut-butter-and-banana sandwiches? According to Jones, the closure was a business decision by club owner Doug Nguyen.
