Reply to comment by todareistobmore in Mount Royal Tavern sells for $800,000 to new owners, who include Dan Deacon by needleinacamelseye

According to a friend of mine who knows the bartenders there well, the old owners turned down an offer from MICA and an offer from another group who wanted to turn the place into an upscale cocktail bar. From what the neighbors are saying on the BH FB page, there's a good amount of trust that the new owners will keep the soul of the place intact.

Thank goodness. I’d much rather scrounge for some cash and get weird than pay for more pretentious $20 cocktails.

Good. There doesn’t need to be anymore cocktail bars in that area. Keep Dirt Church, dirty!

This is all I need to hear. MRT is one of my favorite spots and always take Baltimore newbies there for a drink or two

No way MICA put an offer on any real estate while their enrollment dwindles further and more layoffs are around the corner, unless maybe the offer was to trade Mt. Royal Station.

Yeah, I think the MICA offer was a few years ago - I don't think they're in a financial situation to do much right now, unfortunately...
