T.J. Aliota's, 261 W. Hampton Ave., appears to have closed. The phone was disconnected and the "smoking tent" which was erected behind the building about a year ago was taken down.
A sign that reads "closed for remodeling" is on the door, but there is no sign of activity. I asked a passerby, and she found the sign to be suspicious because the bar had already remodeled recently.
Aliota's was a family-owned and operated sports bar with a Friday fish fry that opened in the '80s.
