Nevada Smiths In Trouble.

I'm guessing the loan was for moving, no? The place used to be so tiny, now it's a massive three floor abomination. And they're not the only game in town like they used to be so I'm not too surprised.
Nevada Smiths missed their monthly payments of only $1,700??? Pretty surprising that they couldn't make those payments. I wonder what the rent is for their 3 floor space? Probably pretty substantial. I don't see how they'll be able to pay off the balance owed of $147,000.
Yikes.
They deserve support for creating what they did well before it was cool.
Poor management seems to be the only thing standing in the way of that place making money.

The place is way too big now, and as others have said it's not the only game in town. It's hard to have a huge building for such a niche purpose. I've never really heard of anyone going to Nevada Smiths for any reason other than watching soccer. They show a lot of games but it's hard to sustain a massive, multi-floor bar based on soccer alone. Especially when there are other options all over the place.
Nevada Smiths was the first "soccer bar" I frequented in NYC just because it was the place and the novelty of it was fun for a while. But eventually I just wanted bars that were either less crowded, closer to my apartment or more narrowly focused (team-specific bars).
I went back last year after the renovation and I really couldn't believe how big it was. Not sure how they thought it was a good idea with more options popping up all the time.

I can only imagine how much the mortgage or rent is in that part of Manhattan.
and how much they'd have to take in every week just to keep the lights on?
