The bar was known for being a stomping ground for several sports fans.
“To the Arsenal Supporters Group thank you. To the Duke Basketball fans, thank you. To the Irish Rugby supporters, thank you. To the Aer Lingus flight staff and the Seattle Seahawks Fan Club, thank you,” management said.
The restaurant is also thanking it’s “amazing staff” and “everyone who walked through our doors and, for a brief period, made this place your home.”
