Last Call For Subway Inn                              

A man walks into a subway entrance near the Subway Inn bar in New York, U.S., on Friday, July 25, 2014.

Subway Inn, the New York City institution that clung to its dive-bar roots even as its Upper East Side neighborhood sprouted steel-and-glass office and apartment towers, is serving its last drink. The bar, which opened in 1937, will close on Aug. 15 and seek another location, according to a notice on its Facebook page. 

The Subway Inn is the latest casualty of rising rents and fierce competition for space to build housing and offices in Midtown. Rodeo Bar, the Murray Hill honky-tonk, said this month that it will close this weekend after 27 years in business.
