Lost City received a tip that The Shannon Pot, a longtime tavern and grill in Long Island City, is slated for demolition. The rumor is that the building will be razed in the next few months and a condo tower will rise in its place. Department of Building records don’t reveal any impending plan for demolition though. Lost City calls The Shannon Pot a “dependable presence in the neighborhood for some time” and guesses that the building has long served as a tavern. It’s in a central LIC location near the Court Square subway stop, so it sounds plausible to us that the location would be getting eyed for residential development.

I’m not sure why this is a surprise. Shannon Pot is part of the same block as 5 Pointz. I had presumed they would have brokered a deal to move them somewhere else in the neighborhood. I hope so, as in addition to what you mentioned, the bar is also the local hangout for both the Chain and Secret Theaters.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
