Irving Mill, the Union Square haunt that served up good food and a decent party, will be closing its doors this weekend after just a few years of business. They will be throwing a final soirée Saturday night for its loyal patrons to say goodbye.
The restaurant will be "colonized by the sixth location of the barbecue chain Brother Jimmy's," reports Grub Street. "Brother Jimmy's is planning to install 200 seats and 45 flat-screen TVs in the 7,500-square-foot space, which is another kind of trouble altogether."
Known for its pricey menu and distinct food, Irving Mill opened in the winter of 2007. It was initially met, and is continually compared, to the lauded restaurants such as Gramercy Tavern and Union Square Café, both of which are in the direct proximity of Irving Mill. The scene at night could be described as socialite-chic, attracting trendy citizens of New York City to see and be scene.
