Northern Soul {Forced to} CLOSE ITS DOORS

Brutal developments from a Hoboken staple. Such sad news and a sudden departure, Northern Soul has been forced to close their doors.

Per their Facebook page:

“Okay folks its time to make this official…….. It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we have to announce the CLOSURE of your favorite Hoboken bar, Northern Soul, at 557 1st Street.

We have been in a legal dispute with our landlords (Liam and Margaret Benson) for the last year, as of yesterday (5/2/16) the court Marshall changed the locks on the door we have called home for the last 8 plus years. This was NOT our choice, we wanted to stay and continue serving the local Hoboken community. Unfortunately like many other fallen comrades of late, we simply could not meet financial demands required to stay. We have never once missed a rent payment or had any issues with neighbors or local authorities which makes it tougher being shut down so abruptly. We ran a respectful business and provided an important outlet for the local Arts and Music scene.

We would like to sincerely thank anyone and everyone that ever had a drink at our humble establishment, we appreciate every single last one of you. It truly was our faithful clientele (dogs included) that made the place so special.

Watch this space for more announcements in the near future. This is certainly not the end of the road and we look forward to serving you all again soon!

As the old saying goes……..Keep the faith ”

Northern Soul will be sorely missed!
