The Triangle mystery widens

POSTED: Monday, July 30, 2012, 4:00 PM

The C&D Triangle Tavern at S. 10th Street deal between Steven Simons, Dave Franks (of Royal Tavern and Cantina) and the space’s current owner Jimmy Deanchano isn’t happening as reported earlier claims Simons.

Things looked and sounded cool according to Simons when he saw the initial price and contacted Deanchano. “$855,000 is a good price,” says Simons who nearly reached an agreement with the Triangle’s people. Until last Thursday when the Triangle sought to lease the space or partner with the Simons and Franks team. “We didn’t want to do that,” says Simons.

Meanwhile a source very close to the real estate company representing the Triangle, Coldwell Banker Commercial, claims that the bar/restaurant space did reach an agreement to lease the space to partners last Thursday. Not the Simon/Frank team? Simons claims that if Triangle comes back to him with a more reasonable offer closer to what was originally on the table, he and Franks might go for it. “I just don’t think they will,” says Simons. Let’s see how this pans out.

    I've heard that the Triangle used to host music (a geezer Springsteen cover band, which makes me wish I were born earlier?). Any word was ever legal as a live entertainment space and if the permit still stands?

    They used to have a "house band" - the leader was the infamous "Dusty". I hadn't been there is years and years and Dusty and the band were probably in their 80's at that point. I believe they played there for a number of decades.
