Descent at The W Hotel Is Temporarily Closed

The underground W Hotel bar Descent in the Theater District is temporarily closed, reports the Boston Hospitality and Tourism Industry Blog. No one from either Descent or The W could be reached at this point, though the blog post says the venue closed in mid-December for a "re-invigoration" and suggests that a larger overhaul may be in store, saying "It's not clear what the space will be called when it reopens in 2013, but Descent's web page and twitter handle have been shut down." Descent opened in November 2011 and modeled itself on a red light district speakeasy, only shinier. Stay tuned for updates and hit up the tipline with any of your own.
