Brooklyn Mirage Parent Company Avant Gardner Files for Bankruptcy

Avant Gardner LLC, which operates Brooklyn Mirage in New York, initiated a Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding on Monday to manage its ongoing financial challenges.
The filing follows several months of struggles including canceled shows, stalled reopening of Brooklyn Mirage after remodeling, and permit delays.
Gary Richards replaced Josh Wyatt as CEO two months ago to stabilize finances, rebuild company culture, and prepare the venue for 2026 and beyond.
Richards expressed that proceeding with the Chapter 11 restructuring represents the best option to secure Avant Gardner’s stability and concentrate efforts on its future development.
The restructuring plan includes $45 million in debtor-in-possession financing, with the lender set to assume asset control, while Great Hall and Kings Hall remain open.
