The transaction also included America’s Back Yard bar, nightclub Off the Hookah, the former Green Room speakeasy, the Poor House bar and two parking lots, according to the Daily Business Review. The Green Room was rebranded as the 1920s-themed Stache.

Jeff John, CEO of the company that runs Revolution Live, Stache and America’s Back Yard, told the Review the portfolio sale would not impact operations at the venues. [Daily Business Review]Eric Kalis
