"Good Luck Bar in Los Feliz will cease its 25-year-old run on Hillhurst on May 4. After Eater first ran the story on April 10, there’s been a lot more intel coming out on the closure. Conroy Commercial Real Estate bought the building in 2012, and made plans to replace the property with a 17-room boutique hotel started in 2014. Eater spoke with Good Luck Bar’s general manager David Granger, who shared how owner Sean MacPherson negotiated a new lease in 2014. This included a rent increase, with renovations coming out of MacPherson’s pocket. As the years went on, Conroy stopped communicating in 2017 while other tenants in the building vacated the property. Those spaces remained vacant." - Mona Holmes
