According to a Facebook post, Rumor Upbeat Lounge, 161 W. Pittsburgh Ave., has closed.

The message read, "This is a difficult status to share, but Rumor will be closing, with the exception of privately reserved parties, effective immediately."

Christopher Surges opened Rumor in 2012. Surges is the current owner of Jack Rabbit Slims, which opened at the end of 2015.
