Southeast's bar/live music venue the Blue Monk will close at the end of the month, after a decade on SE Belmont Street. An announcement posted on Facebook brings word the bar's final day of service will be Tuesday, April 29, and WWeek reports that the bar's "lease was bought out by an undisclosed party." Last month, the Blue Monk was the site of a controversial police raid during an Illmaculate concert. [WW]
