Montclair Bar Allegedly Burglarized 4 Months After Opening

MONTCLAIR, NJ — It didn’t take long for one of Montclair’s newest bars to experience its first burglary, according to police.

On Friday, May 4, about four months after celebrating its soft opening, the Pharmacie Liquor Bar on Bloomfield Avenue was burglarized for an “unknown” amount of cash, Montclair police said.

No arrests have been made but the incident is still under investigation, a Montclair police spokesperson said Tuesday.

The bar and restaurant, located at the corner of Seymour Street and Bloomfield Avenue in downtown Montclair, is named after the historic Wellmont Pharmacy that once flanked the entrance to the iconic theater.
