Nearly 14 years of community-building came to an end early Monday morning as a packed Crowbar patio watched DJ Casper play Caserta’s “Most High” the last record on the last night of Ol’ Dirty Sundays at Crowbar. The end arrived after a line formed early and snaked down 8th Avenue, leaving some to listen to the last dance of the revered patio from the street as the venue hit capacity while special guest DJ Craze threw down. Inside, bartenders from the nascent days of ODS when the party started as early as 4 p.m., reunited in one of the corner bars while b-boys and girls from the last decade-and-a-half got one last dance in the courtyard. Casper told the crowd that stayed until the end that ODS would come back, with Crowbar boss Tom DeGeorge promising the faithful that they would talk again. Until then, Sundays in Ybor City will never be the same.
