Our favorite Coney Island Boardwalk joint, Ruby's Bar & Grill, might not survive to see another summer! Kinetic Carnival reports they have yet to receive a lease for the 2009 season, whereas last year they had already been given a renewal by August. The indispensable dive bar's demise was portended back in May, when the floor collapsed beneath a man using their bathroom, causing him to fall ten feet into the basement. The fact that he fell into a rat infestation didn't help the situation, and Ruby's was closed the following day by a health inspector. There are currently no negotiations with landlord Thor Equities, and it's unclear whether other Coney Island staples like Steve's Grill House and Cha Cha's will also go the way of Astroland. Some fear that this year's Polar Bear Day Party at Ruby's may end up being their last hurrah.

Greasy food, cold beer, and Jay and the Amricans singing "Cara Mia" on the jukebox as a breeze blows off the beach. There is no better place to be on a summer afternoon. This will be a true loss.
They are trying fucking hard to keep me from ever going back to Coney Island. Ruby's is awesome! Rich developer douchebag cretins. I hope they forget to pay off one of the boys from Brighton Beach and get kneecapped. In the face.
Unless you fall through the floor into a swarm of rats.
Hey, Thor Equities Bar & Grill ain't so bad.
although the quesadillas were cold.
controlling Rats the safe way,
WITH NO POISONOUS PRODUCTS
Rataway fragrance stops odors caused
by rats, mice, squirrels, etc...
Makes one gallon when mixed
and protects the surface of areas used for nesting.
Rodents and other animals mark territory (your car, house, etc.) with their scent. Animals are attracted by this scent. Rataway fragrance gets rid of the scent. No lingering scent, no more attraction.
Rataway fragrance protects car engines, wiring, boats, motorhomes, machinery, heavy equipment, etc. when sprayed to protect the surfaces
Rataway fragrance is not a pepper spray.
If you are looking for an effective, natural control for odors, Rataway fragrance is it.
Again... Rataway fragrance can be used around children, pets, and service personnel.
What is Rataway Fragrance?
Rataway fragrance is a spray that is very offensive to wild animals such as rats, mice, squirrels, rabbits, racoons, dogs, cats, horses, skunks, and monkeys. Rataway fragrance is not offensive to humans.

Boo!
I really don't want to know what Thor has in mind to replace that bar if they're forced to close.
My first guess would a Margaritaville chain bar but I'm not sure even Thor hates us that much. No one is that evil. I hope.
#7 if it closes, nothing will be there. Joe Sitt will continue to close things as a power play with the city until he can flip his land. I doubt he has ever had any real plans to develop and if he did you can pretty much bet that any potential investors have backed out with this recession.
The only bars left will be the one at the ballpark and the freak show apparently has a new expanded bar.
Be lookin' good, Warriors. All the way back to Coney. Ya hear me, babies? Good. Re-e-al good. Adios.
#7 oh course Thor Equities is evil. They killed Astroland didn't they? What are we going to tell the kids next summer? Sorry, the amusement rides went bye bye, go play in the empty lot, no wait let's go ride the condos
I think that its lame that this publication or website will post propaganda that astroland might be saved by Bloomberg and Co. and then just backtrack and resign itself to astroland being closed is lazy media.
