East 12th bar/music venue Legendary White Swan is closing on July 21. Owner Randall Stockton says, "I underestimated what it would take to overcome the area's stigma... I thought I could put liquor and bands in and it would work, but it was harder than that." It will transform into King Bee Lounge, a classic cocktail bar from former Congress bar manager Billy Hankey. [Chronicle]
