The management team just confirmed that they are renewing the lease for the ILL Minster Pub. This victory belongs to the 401 people who signed and refused to let our local spot disappear. Keep stopping by the pub to show them that our neighborhood support is real.

As Gables Villa Rosa community members it has come to our attention that Gables Villa Rosa Management will not renew the ILL Minster Pub's lease in the retail section of our complex. The space will unfortunately be turned into short-term residential spaces (think AirBnB & VRBO).
As one of the only locally owned establishments left in Uptown Dallas, ILL Minster Pub has built a strong community of patrons who are dedicated to supporting local business.
Also as Uptown crime rates continue to rise, the ILL Minster Pub is the last bar in the neighborhood that Villa Rosa community members and other locals can safely walk to at night.
Let the Gables Villa Rosa management know you don't want to see the Pub go away by signing this petition below pledging: "We won't stay if Pub goes away!"
(Donation not required to sign. We are grateful for your support.)

This is basically the only bar left on this side of Uptown. Instead of tearing down small businesses for Short Term Rentals, Gables should be investing in the community so people actually want to move to and stay in this area.
As someone who lives at this apartment it’s a disgrace to see this complex do this. Rental market won’t be booming like this forever. When I originally moved in retail business was the selling point for me. It’s free advertising for the building which will help when the rental boom eventually fades away.
The pub is very important to the neighborhood for many reasons. One that immediately comes to mind is safety of residents in the area. With the higher crime rates in uptown lately the pub provides a much safer option for residents to not hate to risk getting mugged, or hurt walking to uptown.
Part of the reason I chose to move into Villa Rosa was because there was a walkable safe pub on property. I work a lot and having a few drinks without having to enter a vehicle is so needed for my lifestyle. Ubers are just another expense for no reason.
The Ill Minster is a true gem and the only bit of community that Gables Villa Rosa has left. If it closes, there is no chance I renew my lease.
Minister brings people together. That is not an easy thing to do.
Please keep the bar open. It’s a staple for the area.

This is an incredible amenity for several Gables locations that are nearby that provided residents a quiet place to grab a drink and has fostered community amongst neighbors for years. It would be an absolute disservice to the neighborhood and community to remove it.
