It’s official: Rula Bula Irish Pub, a downtown Tempe mainstay for 20 years, will close this Sunday, May 23.
MXSW reported last month the restaurant and bar was almost certain to close before the end of June after it was unable to reach agreement on a new lease with its landlord.
A persistent rumor is longtime Mill Avenue restaurateur Julian Wright will take over the space at Mill and Fourth Street.
Rula Bula is inviting patrons to join the Irish Pipers for a series of toasts at 7 p.m. Wednesday, 7:30 Saturday, and 7:30 Sunday.
