The Last Ditch bar in Greenfield, Massachusetts, announced on Monday that it will "soft close" effective immediately as it searches for new ownership. The bar, which opened last year, stated on Instagram that it is looking for co-owners, new owners, or a full sale. While booked events will continue, the establishment will be closed for the winter. The bar had previously gained attention for attempting to relax its COVID-19 mask policy, which led to customer backlash. Despite attracting some support, the bar has struggled financially, with two of its three original owners having departed. The remaining owner was reportedly managing a $50,000 loan and working multiple jobs to sustain operations. The sale package is valued at an estimated $70,000 and includes furniture, equipment, inventory, and social media pages.
