    Anyone know what happened? The place has always had a good crowd when I’ve visited.

    I do. They aren’t closed for good. I spoke to Bobby Ferguson this morning. After some updates to the space, they’ll be back with a new concept that pushes the envelope. Stay tuned.

    he USED to own After 5. I think he started out trying to make a white Cove, but the Cove crowd followed so he was splitting his own crowd, so he sold it to Michael Wiley and some other investors. Don’t know about Sobe.

    It was called Lotus while Bobby owned it. Michael renamed it After 5.

    I was looking up concerts on ticketmaster and it said that the Cove was renamed “Icon”. I tried to find a website but nothing came up. Does anyone know anything about the new place?
