      <![CDATA[nothing surprising about R Bar closing for all the reasons cited here, and then some....i'd been there several times, and it seemed like it just couldn't find its personality or clientele. That said, there were many times that it was full of patrons, most of whom were there to see the bands...but it also seemed like they couldn't figure out what type of music they wanted there.
