The Stone Balloon
Unfortunately, the one and only Stone Balloon has been scheduled to close on December 17th. This historic bar has hosted some of the most famous performers and bands. Some of these include: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, The Dave Matthews Band, Metallica, and Train. Some other favorite cover bands include Mr. Green Genes, Kristen and the Noise, Burnt Sienna, and Love Seed Mama Jump. The Balloon has even been rated by Playboy magazine as one of the top 100 college bars in America. Every single Tuesday and Thursday night you can get $1 Natural Light Drafts, $1.50 Shiner Bock and Moosehead Drafts, $2 One Liquor Rail Drinks, $3 any other drink, and $4 180 and Red Bull. The last Mug night is on December 15th and the last actual night at the Balloon is the 17th. Sadly, these mugs are no longer sold: ( Make sure you check out the Balloon before it closes. You'll definately have a good time!)
Stone Balloon is located on 115 East Main StreetNewark, DE 19711.
We've got a bit of an experiment going on for the test word nworbxela. See how many results we can get in google.

Becky, Rightcoastswell, and Laura Marshall- I'm sad about the closing as well. This time, it's true!
Stefanie- I'll definately look into The Out and About article. I love that magazine!
I really hope this isn't true, Newark needs a good bar night. Mug night will be duely missed if such a deal goes through, we don't need more apartments, we need more bars especially with good music, something that the balloon was known for.
