Forum was a lavish, L-shaped lounge in the old Pop Burger space, with white columns, banquettes and a 50-foot bar where office workers drank Brooklyn Lager pints1. The columns were faux Roman; the crush for the bartender's attention, we said at the time, was the real thing. The Royal, a sports bar, replaced it in January 2013, and by April 2016 a for-rent sign was in its window2. BarBacon, a bacon-themed bar and restaurant, opened there in September 2018, and by December 2020 it sat shuttered3, 4.
Researched October 2026.
