A tipster sent along this inquiry: “Any word on if the Flying Saucer Cafe at 494 Atlantic is out of business? It’s a personal favorite, and the gate has been down with a crude “closed” sign on the door for a week or so now. I’d be sad if it was–it certainly stands out from the wedding and baby photo storefront invasion that has taken over that part of Atlantic.” Indeed, the spot was closed during business hours a few days ago and no one answered phone calls. The business Facebook Page doesn’t shine any light on the matter, either. Anybody know what’s up here? GMAP

  1. There are two owners of the café. One is the guy who owns Hank’s Saloon. The one that people call the manager is Ivan the guy who ran the business into the ground owes back rent and hasn’t paid contractors. Ivan changes the story of what is happenIng to the place every time anyone talks to him. The renovations now at just paper on the windows and a goodbye note. Nothing else.

    And now the space is listed for rent:
