Gilbert Geek Bar Taproom-120: Your Last Chance to Experience the Magic Before It Closes!

Taproom-120, a beloved retro-themed bar and music venue in Gilbert, is closing its doors after more than two years of operation. The announcement came via social media on Friday from co-owner Matt Poltash. Despite a planned locals-only metal show intended to generate funds for the establishment’s survival, it appears that the proceeds will not be sufficient to keep the bar afloat.

Located near Power and Warner roads, Taproom-120 gained popularity as a gathering spot for geeks and music enthusiasts alike. The decision to close follows a series of punk and metal shows this weekend, marking a bittersweet end for a venue that played a significant role in the local music scene.

The closure has sparked a wave of reactions from patrons and fans, many expressing their sadness at the loss of a space that fostered community and creativity. As the last shows approach, the owners encourage attendees to support the local bands and cherish the memories made at Taproom-120.
