SoNo’s The Loft Martini Lounge to close Saturday

The Loft Martini Lounge, a South Norwalk staple for the past two decades, will be closing on Saturday.

“This weekend we will be easing into the end of our 20 year run,” said the venue on its Facebook page. “It’s been not only a blast, but an honor to be a part of the South Norwalk community for two decades. Help us in saying goodbye to a tradition, but also a bit of comfort in an uncertain future. We can’t wait to go out the way we came in, on top, and partying until the sun comes up!”

No explanation was offered on the venue”™s Facebook page or website on the abrupt nature of the closing, but a report in The Hour stated that The Loft”™s lease had expired and was not renewed. It is uncertain whether the venue will reopen at a different location.
