Everyone knows by now that the God of Fortune stays the hell (pun unintended) out of Friday the 13th, but it's still an unpleasant surprise to have one of the livelier bars in our local nightlife scene, Se7en 1nch, close down on the day.

Known for its absinthe bar, Se7en 1nch released a statement on their Facebook page, announcing that "due to foreseeable circumstances", they have "ceased operation on Friday the 13th Jan 2012".
