Hoboken orders 5 bars to shut down for 'LepreCon'

The city of Hoboken ordered the complete shutdown of five bars for "LepreCon" -- and one popular bar is closing permanently.

"LepreCon," similar to SantaCon, is a privately-organized event held near St. Patrick's Day in which revelers dress up as Leprechauns and drink.

The bars include 1 Republik, Hoboken Bar and Grill, Green Rock Tap and Grill, Mill's Tavern and The Shannon.
