A Somewhat Young China Hand on the Local Drinking Scene

Frozen out: Tribute North closes due to…

landlord issues? That seems to be the case and, if so, would make Tribute North the latest casualty in – at least from this observer’s point of view – an unprecedented string of closings that happen on short notice and at the whim of property owners. Maybe it’s all just a plot, in the leadup to October 1, to remind the populace of one of the reasons for the events of sixty years ago. Well, maybe not…

In any case, Frank Sun, the brains behind Tribute North, says he is looking at two separate venues and expects to reopen in a few months. And it appears that the Tribute North space will continue as a restaurant…

UPDATE: A group email sent today by Frank Sun states, in part, “About two weeks ago, Tribute North was approach by the owners of our present location… that they were selling their property…. On this past Monday, the very same owners informed Tribute North that the new management company would take over our restaurant premises by September 1 (next Tuesday) and that they would operate a “café/restaurant” under another name. We have decided not to challenge this decision since it is China and that it would take a tremendous effort on our part and we may not prevail in the end.”
