• [Photo Gallery] Toast at eleven44

Eleven44, a nightclub named for its address on Bethel Street, has closed its doors.

Contacted in London, owner Dave Stewart confirmed the closure, calling it “sad” that the economics of the establishment were not working out.

The club’s Facebook page Saturday evening invited followers to “the very last party at eleven44."

A staff member at the club that answered a reporter’s call Monday afternoon declined to enumerate how many employees were affected, or to provide other details.

Stewart closed his Brasserie Du Vin restaurant and wine bar at the end of January, due to a planned 50 percent hike in the lease rent for the nine-year-old space at 1115 Bethel St.

Stewart also owns Bar 35, at 35 N. Hotel Street.
