For more than a decade, Mikey’s Juke Joint has been drawing musicians, fans and regulars to the corner of 10 Avenue and 18 Street S.W.

This Sunday will mark the end of an era for supporters of the popular live music venue, as the last day of operations takes place at the original Mikey’s location.

Owner Mike Clark announced the closure in a social media post Thursday, saying the venue is being evicted and citing “many reasons” for its demise.

The live music the bar is known for will continue at the second location Clark opened last year, Mikey’s on 12th, where the business owner is hoping his supporters will gravitate.

News of the establishment’s closure comes on the heels of two other local music venues, Nite Owl and Distortion, shutting down in the past two weeks.

With the juke joint’s last day approaching, Clark said he expects to see a lot of familiar faces at the final Sunday jam at the brightly coloured building on Canada Day.
