HOUSTON – After years of bitter fighting between some Houston residents and the owner of a bar next door, both sides are claiming victory.
Bar Bleu owner Adam Kleinbart will close his doors after selling the land to another developer.
But before he left, he painted “KARMA” and “HAHAHAHA” on his driveway and roof in large red letters.
“Karma is a b****,” Klienbart wrote on Facebook, after posting pictures of his artwork. “After seven years of torment from these sub-humans who live in this disgustingly hideous building, I can finally say ‘what comes around, goes around.’”

Klienbart and his neighbors fought over noise for years. Robinhood Condos residents called police, who issued Klienbart many citations.
In 2011, Klienbart sued his neighbors, claiming some of them threw eggs and other garbage at him and his guests.
Finally, Klienbart folded. But he made sure his neighbors got a raw deal.
“I recently sold the land that the club sat on to a real estate developer who will build a 20-story high rise, which will ultimately block of the views (of the Houston skyline),” Klienbart wrote on Facebook.
Neighbors told KSAT 12's sister station in Houston, KPRC-TV, that they will miss their view of the skyline, but not the music or who some of them called the “neighbor from hell.”
