The club was previously a biker bar and before that was The letters CBGB were for Kristal’s original vision.
One storefront beside CBGB became the “CBGB Record Canteen”, a record shop and cafĂ©. In the late 1980s, “CBGB Record Canteen” was converted into an art gallery and second performance space.
At about year 2000, CBGB entered a protracted dispute over allegedly unpaid rent amounts until the landlord, Bowery Residents’ Committee, sued in 2005 and lost the case, but a deal to renew CBGB’s lease, expiring in 2006, failed.
