News Park Slope Jazz Club Could Shutter Immediately

One co-owner blames the economy. "People simply have less money to spend, and so we are making less money," he told Patch. "We are getting people through our doors less often, and when they come they are spending, on average, half of what they used to."
Others pin the blame on Puppet's.
"We're a jazz bar and not everybody likes jazz," the other co-owner told Patch. "Puppet's is not promoted as well as it could be. A lot more promotion and it would fly real big." Case in point: have you ever even heard of it? I only did because I lived for a spell around the corner, and even then only stopped by once to find a quartet playing for a small group of family and friends. (You could tell the joint was struggling: not only was there a drink minimum, but a required donation when the hat—er, bucket—came around. Then again, the cocktails came in pint glasses...)
My recommendation: change the sign. Why is a jazz bar trading on a hip hop aesthetic?
