No deal has been reached, but we hear "Real World: Los Angeles" cast mate Glen Naessens and his brother Mike, who owns Eulogy (136 Chestnut), are trying to buy the Khyber (56 S. 2nd), which is mere feet away from Eulogy.
Rumors of the Old City rock club being for sale have swirled for about a year, but nothing has come to fruition.
Khyber co-owner Stephen Simons declined to comment yesterday. Simons owns the building and co-owns the bar with Dave Frank. The pair also operate the Royal Tavern, Cantina Los Caballitos and Cantina Dos Segundos.
We had heard the Naessens are looking to buy only the club, not the building.
"All I can say is that I'm into music, Philly, and history. So is my brother Mike," Glen Naessens, a musician, shared with us yesterday. We traded messages with Mike, but that was it.

Nice! Eulogy is the best beer bar in the city. Good luck to these guys. If they can clean up the Khyber after ten years of neglect I will return to Old City for music. Tin Angel and a clean well run Khyber, a music lover's dream in one block.— alwyatt- Comment removed.
