Soon to be jazz venue with outdoor seating called Mordechai and Caponi (as in hero of Battle of Brooklyn and hero of gangster movies).
c) Recently sold to member of Black 47, renamed Rocky Sullivan – which officially makes it a franchise (there’s one, same owner, on Lex).

I got them all right, well mixed up the 2 for sale on CL but essentially it’s the same answer.
and it’s LeNells not Linells.

You can add 360 to the list. It was recently shuttered with a sign up saying it was closed for three weeks for renovations. I have since heard it will not be reopening.

i’ve heard that the owner might sell 360 to others who work there.
you should add hope & anchor to this list only because the quality of their food has declined to an extreme degree. the food has been awful for the past year, which is so incredibly disappointing.

I used to live around the corner from Rocky Sullivans and it is a GREAT local bar with a reading series, quiz night, etc. This is hardly a chain experience like TGIF!

The Rocky Sullivan’s in Manhattan is now closed, which means… Rocky Sullivan’s is *not* a chain after all. yay
