The controversial Rideau Street bar that saw a homicide and stabbing outside its doors last month will shut down, according to Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury.

Fleury tweeted out the news about Mingle Room on Monday, after holding several talks with community groups, the bar’s owner, the property owner and the police.

In June, popular local athlete Ashton Dickson, 25, was gunned down around 1 a.m. after an argument that began inside Mingle Room spilled outside. He died outside the establishment a short time later.

Earlier that month, a 25-year-old man was stabbed in front of the Mingle Room after nearby residents heard gunfire.

The two incidents triggered an investigation by the province’s Alcohol and Gaming Commission.

Residents of the community have been lobbying the city to see the bar shut down.

It’s not the first time City of Ottawa councillors and staff have pushed for the closure of a controversial private business. In October, River Coun. Riley Brockington met with the landlord of 1319 Shillington Ave. near Merivale Road over complaints he had received about the Suya Spot, which had become a location police were repeatedly being called to. That business closed its doors later that month.
