One of New York City's iconic watering holes says it is shutting down for good due to the coronavirus crisis.
Foley's NY, the famous baseball-themed bar across from the Empire State Building on 33rd Street, will not reopen even when the pandemic is over, owner Shaun Clancy said in a video posted on social media.
More proper sports bar than glitzy hot spot, Foley's nonetheless was a must-visit for New Yorkers and interlopers alike, and was often frequented by both diehard sports fans, athletes, and the occasional sports-loving celebrity.
"Thank you for one last time. All I'll say is, this is the end of the inning, but not the end of the game," Foley said.
Foley bought the bar, then known as P.G. Kings, in 2004, The Athletic reported last month.
