The Khyber's Twitter page tells the tale

Before this afternoon, The Khyber's last Twitter post came on July 14 a full three weeks before we reported that owners Dave Frank and Stephen Simons planned on converting the venerable rock club (56 S. Second St.) into an izakaya. Earlier today, though, the bar sent out a cryptic tweet, reading only "RIP," from an account now branded as if it were updating live from the Khyber Pass through Pakistan's Hindu Kush mountain range, and not a bar/venue in Old City. Terrorism? Or the reluctant e-concession of a bygone, beer-soaked era?
