144 Temple

Submitted by SkateAndEnjoi t3_zgfxqm in newhaven

Anyone else notice 144 Temple was open last night where the Elm City Taphouse used to be? I'll have to check them out soon. Chacra which opened recently on Temple is really good imo. Too bad Torino seems to have hit a wall close by.

There hasn’t been a consistent presence at 144 Temple since the playwright. That was a great spot.

I haven’t been into the newest iteration of 144 Temple, but it’s consistently been an underage bar for the past few years. Even if the new owners are trying to go aboveboard, they’re going to have to fight that reputation with the kids. Rumaj on Crown is another culprit. Last night was a hot mess with 19 year olds puking on the side of the street.

Oh, damn. Bummer another shitty club opened there. For a bit, it was going to be developed by the owners of College Street Music Hall, then by the Shubert owners. Both fell through.

Clubs bring a stupid crowd to downtown. Another legit music/entertainment venue would be so much better.

Edit: nvm, that’s not the space I’m thinking of. Google Maps placed it on the wrong side of street. Yes, that space has been though several shitty clubs in the last 10 years.

Absolutely. I’d really love to see the underage drinking thing curbed a bit downtown. It’s messy and dangerous.

Yeah, not a good look. Still better than it was 10 years ago, but room for improvement.

Ya certainly the vibe I got from the last place. I didn't even realize Rumaj was open lol that should be interesting. Hopefully the new 144 Temple is legit.

Is it still owned by that guy who killed someone a few years ago?
