Pour one out for Grand st. restaurant/bar Lodge who closed this week after 14 years in Williamsburg. They posted the above image to instagram with the following message:
Hello friends and family! It is with an extremely heavy heart that we are announcing the closing of our family restaurant, Lodge. It’s been a long run of 14+ years and we can no longer compete with the astronomical cost of rent in Williamsburg. We’ve been pushed out.
Lodge was opened by Dan and Aaron. Lindsey and Dan were married at Lodge with Aaron officiating, surrounded by their friends and family. They’ve hosted countless gatherings, baby showers, and birthday parties. Their kids grew up here. They took their first steps here. Bella’s first job was here. Many of our staff members forged lifelong friendships and unions. We have created more than just a restaurant, we created a community. It guts us to say goodbye.
Join us this Saturday for a final farewell. The real party starts at 8pm. DJs and dinner till late. Throw down some extra cheddar to show the remaining staff some love. We will have a donation bucket to help assist us in the steep closing costs. We will be open this Sunday and Monday as well and closing for good after dinner service.
Lodge will be greatly missed. There’s more sad news as t.b.d. and their large outdoor space will be closing this Sunday. They posted this to facebook:
All good things must come to an end… and t.b.d. is no exception.
Thanks for 10 years of good times and great memories.
Our last day is this Sunday (Mar 4). We’ve discounted our drink prices so come in and help us drink through our beer, wine and booze inventory.
Here’s hoping someone takes over the bar and keeps/revamps the outdoor space.
