Tenants of Bloomington’s Player's Pub have until Jan. 15 to remove all their possessions from the property.

Monroe County Circuit Judge Frances Hill granted immediate possession of the property to landlord Mary Hill during a hearing Wednesday.

Hill says this is the second time that tenants Joe Estivill and Victoria Kilmer have been late paying rent.

In addition, she says they damaged the property by breaking a window on the building, let trash pile up, and are behind in property taxes and utility payments.

Hill attempted to change the locks to the pub last week. During the hearing, Estivill admitted to entering the premises through the window three times after that.

An attorney representing the tenants argued the damages don’t rise to the level of breaking the lease. The judge disagreed.

Estivill says the decision not only impacts his business, but the numerous bands that have plans to play at the Player's Pub through next year.

Near the end of the hearing the judge said, "I hope there's going to be negotiation for our community's sake."

Whether the bar will be open is unclear.

"I imagine we're done," Estivill said following the hearing.
