History

Eighty-four years, one last weekend

Thomas Glacken began working at Glacken's Bar & Grill in the 1950s, and he was still its owner at the end1. The bar had opened in December 1940, started by Tom Glacken's father1, 2.

The end came at the close of September 2024, when the bar on 149th Street had its final weekend after 84 years in business and closed its doors that Monday1, 2. Glacken cited rising rent and a decrease in nearby city facilities as key reasons1.
