Applebee's, 2344 Broad River Road: 9 July 2018 7 comments
I don't believe I ever at at this Applebee's, though I was certainly aware it was there. In general, I find the chain to be a decent late night spot for a good burger though they are a bit stingy with the fries.
Judging from the sign, I guess the Two Notch, Blythewood & Devine Street stores must be under different ownership.

Nuvo Rest.Bar, 2401 Percival Road: Spring 2018 (if it ever opened) no comments
When I did the closing for Latino's Bar & Grill in this location, it appeared they were setting up to open as an urban club Nuvo Rest.Bar. However, I don't think that ever actually happened. I could be wrong, of course, but I drive this stretch of Percival at least several times a month, and I don't recall ever seeing the building lit up under that name.
At any rate, they are now definitely open as Main Event Sports Bar.
Moriarty's, 902 Gervais Street Suite B: March 2018 3 comments
The Free Times reports that Moriarty's on Gervais is closed for good. The Irish bar, in the old Wild Hare location (for which I was sure I had done a closing, but in the event apparently not), opened in March of 2016.
Sherlock Holmes was unavailable for comment.

Crescent Moon, 2361 Augusta Highway: August 2017 4 comments
I was unaware of this Lexington establishment until commenter James R pointed out that it had closed. It's a ways out on the Western outskirts of Lexington where Pisgah Church Road hits US-1.
The State says they were there for four years, which really is not bad for a non-chain restaurant.

Main Street Cafe Bar & Grill, 131 East Main Street: Summer 2016 2 comments
I never stopped in this place, which was apparently a Lexington fixture, but I might well have liked it, as it apparently had Greek fare along with standard bar food.
Given the fact that they listed in last year's phonebook, but not this years, and that the last Yelp review is from 19 July 2016, I'm dating the closing as Summer 2016.

Taps Bar & Grill, 104 Columbia Northeast Drive Suite B: Summer 2016 6 comments
Taps was for sale a couple of years ago, and I took a picture then in anticipation that I might need it, but of course now that they actually have closed, I can't find it. If you google "taps bar columbia" it will point you to a nice google streetview picture..
At any rate, this little bar was tucked in next to the Big Lots plaza on Two Notch behind Dunkin Donuts and when I was at Big Lots the other day, I noticed that it had been reflagged as R & B Bar & Grill which is rather more '&'s than usual.
The last review I see is from 10 August 2016, so I'm putting the closing as "Summer 2016".
Hardee's / Bush River Bistro / The Wild Hare / Gametime Sports Grub & Catering, 5122 (Old) Bush River Road: July 2016 11 comments
These photos come courtesy of commenter Homer, whose gentle reminder prompts me to finally post them. Looking at them, I can certainly see the former Hardee's that both he and commenter Andrew mention. I am pretty sure I took some photos of my own when the place ceased being The Wild Hare, but apparently I never did a closing on that operation, and don't now have them to hand.
I've often wondered at this intersection where Old Bush River Road branches off from Saint Andrews Road. Given the odd way the main stretch of Bush River turns into Tram and the way the road picks up again here, some major work must have been done once.
Anyway, I'm guessing the Tiki Bar is *not* open.
