A spouter points out The Princeton & The Whitebrier are for sale. So what. Everything is for sale if the price is right. The block is zoned B-1. The owner obtained a conditional use variance to put 8 single family homes on a portion of the lot, and has asked for an extension of time to not lose that right. Don't know who wants a home next to these noisy bars, but 8 homes sure beats a boutique hotel. Rumors of condos are nonsense - they would require new variances unlikely to be granted.
