Шаблон:Infobox venue The Court Tavern is a live music venue and bar located in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Home to local and national acts across all genres, including punk, hip-hop, indie, and hardcore, it has stood closed at 124 Church Street since 2019.[1]

History and venue

In 1961, Bob Albert Sr. bought the Court Tavern, then at 149 Church Street with a partner.[2] He told a reporter in 1977 that the bar dated to 1902, having operated illegally through the Prohibition era.[2] In 1981, upon being forced to move on the building of a parking deck, the tavern moved across the street to its present location.[3][4][5][6] From 1981 to 2012, the venue, run by Albert Sr. prior to his passing in 1997 alongside his son, Bobby Albert Jr., became a notable location for live music in New Brunswick.[7][8][9][10][11]

The venue ran into financial trouble,[12] and Patti Smith and her band as well as The Smithereens played a fundraiser for the venue in 2010 at the State Theatre.[13][14] Bobby Albert Jr. closed the venue in 2012. It was purchased by Michael Barrood at a sheriff's auction in March 2012 and opened in November 2012 after completion of renovations. The club saw closures in 2015 and 2017 before closing indefinitely in 2019.[15] While DIY underground all-ages live music shows continue in the city, no live rock music venues remain open as of 2023 akin to the Court. The shuttered Court Tavern building is the last building standing following the closure of other popular New Brunswick live indie and punk rock clubs of recent decades, such as the Melody Bar, the Roxy, the Budapest Cocktail Lounge, Patrix and Bowl-o-Drome.[16]

Notable acts

Acts like Pavement delivered its first show at the Court, and the bar was home to touring acts like the Butthole Surfers, Mudhoney and The Jesus Lizard. During a tour stop in New Brunswick, The Replacements did an interview with MTV at the venue.[17] The Flaming Lips, Sadat X of Brand Nubian, Ween, NJ Bloodline, X and Henry Rollins also played the venue.[18]

A number of bands from New Brunswick got their start at the venue, the Smithereens considered it their home venue, and it was seminal according to a number of commentators on the New Brunswick, New Jersey music scene.[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]
