Downtown Update: ISHTA Has Closed

West Pine Street is not a hospitable place for clubs, apparently, as this spot at 57 West Pine Street which was called ISHTA Night Club has shuttered.
Recognize their sign?  You're not the only one who never went there. They were 100% Hip Hop and even the Blog only visited twice during 2017 and 2018.
Before it was ISHTA, it was EPIC Night Club during 2015-2016 and we covered DJ's like Sandra Collins, Baby Anne & Bad Boy Bill playing here. It did draw some crowds during that run.
Prior to EPIC, it was Syn Nightclub during 2013-2014. During those years we saw DJ's such as Heavygrinder, Meaux Green and Mickey Bono play here. It just never caught on.
I checked the Blog archives and could find no visit when this was the home of Club 57 West. My recollection is that this was a place for live bands which is why I never went there. Regardless, the address is littered with club carcasses and we'll see who comes along next.
