Original O.K.R.A. Charity Saloon has closed, but the space won’t stay vacant for long. Operators the Organized Kollaboration on Restaurant Affairs have sold the bar to its long time general manager Mary Ellen Angel for $10, the organization announced. Angel tells CultureMap that she will open a new bar in the space at 924 Congress Ave. that will still have a charitable component. She’s tentatively looking at a May opening, assuming she can obtain the necessary permit approvals by then.
