Oddfellow's Rest Closing Saturday, Celebrating Last Night With Big Party

The New Orleans themed bar is scheduled to close its doors for good.

Oddfellow's Rest, a staple in Hoboken's night life, is closing Saturday, according to an announcement on its website. In October, the restaurant's new owner told Patch about the New Orleans-themed bar's scheduled closure. The new place will be a Mexican BBQ restaurant, new owner Mario Fini said in a previous interview. Saturday January 5, the bar — which is known for its Mardi Gras celebration and other Southern traditions — will officially shutter its doors. Correction: a previous version of this post mistakenly stated that the bar's last day is Friday. Oddfellow's is open for business on Friday Jan. 4.

Oddfellows Rest to Close, New Owner to Take Over

A Mexican BBQ place is scheduled to come to the location, the new owner said.

Oddfellows Rest, the Louisiana themed downtown bar, will close later this fall, said Mario Fini, the future owner of the establishment.  Fini, who recently bought Teak on the Hudson and is looking to transform the area, said that the bar will be completely transformed and open under a different name.  The new place will be a Mexican BBQ restaurant, Fini said.  Fini, the owner of Hoboken-based development firm Maridian Properties, said that  Oddfellows will change hands mid-October.
