Checked: Checked Nov 2026: official site lists current hours with no closure notice; Yelp reviews current through October 2026 and PUNCH's dive-bar feature corroborates ongoing operation. A stale Apple Maps listing showed 'closed' but conflicts with the live site and current Yelp activity, so it's treated as a stale map listing, not a real closure.
