Kingpin

I seem to remember Kingpin closing last year (maybe even longer) due to a fire. Was that the case or am I just making things up in my head again? If they did close, are they open again? Thanks.

They did close due to a fire; they are definitely not open again in the same location, and to the best of my knowledge, are not open in a different location.
Kingpin was the kind of place that once it's gone, it won't come back.
the old sign is up by the bathrooms at wonderland… i don't expect it to open again, great place though
Yeah, total dive, always seemed to be operating on the edges of the law… in short, the perfect neighborhood watering hole! :)
hutch's 2007 post made me think of this place… Did any of you guys ever hang here post show??

Awesome spot in the early 00's.
I used to hang out there in 2000-2001…it was the place for people into certain drugs and staying up all night


You would get in I want to say before 2 or 3 am, they would lock up and then they stayed open inside all night for those that had got in…an after hours joint

They had a Radiohead set list plastered on a wall ..I think from the surprise 930 show

I left the US mid 2001 and by the time I was back in late 2002 my lifestyle had changed and I stopped going there
Although I may have gone one more time
