The Downtown was a music venue located on 190 Main Street in Farmingdale, New York. The venue opened on December 21, 2001, and quickly became one of the most popular venues on Long Island, so much so that they developed their own line of clothing. On September 19, 2005, the Downtown sent an email to their mailing list announcing their closing, thanking the fans and bands for support, and offering refunds for the upcoming shows. No reason was cited. The closing announcement was posted on the main page of the official site.
