The Looney Bin

12/21/2025

It’s with a broken heart that I am here to tell you that we lost one of our own Looney Bin family members, Jason Barrett.
Jason was security for several years when our major acts came to play at The Bin. He was there for most of them.
Thank you Jason for all you did for Nick and I and for keeping everyone safe.
We love you Jason and pray you are at peace now.
Our love, prayers and condolences to Jason’s family and all who loved him.
Rest in peace my friend. 💔🙏🏻📿🕊️

Hello everyone.

This is Mama Maureen.
It is with great sadness that I am here to tell you that The Looney Bin has closed down.
I am not here to offer any details as to what may or may not have happened. That is not up for discussion, so please respect that and do not send me messages asking me what happened. I will not discuss it.

This is a very difficult time for all who are involved.
Needless to say, our hearts are broken, mine, my grandchildren (Nick's children), as well as our wonderful Looney Bin family, the bartenders, past and present, the patrons, the band members and so on.
Over the years we have made so many friends and so many memories. NOTHING and NO-ONE can take those away. They will always be in our hearts to treasure.

I respectfully am asking to please be kind and respectful to everyone involved as we are all struggling in our own way to get through this time.

I have noticed a lot of people sharing their pictures and memories from their great times at The Bin. I LOVE seeing this! So please, share the memories and keep them alive in your heart.

Much love to all of you and thank you for all of your love and support at our sh*tty little bar in Bradley that we love so much.
