Blue Box Bar will close at the end of August after 12 years of serving up cool vibes and craft cocktails in the north-of-downtown retail and dining complex.
“It is with heavy hearts that we announce the closing of Blue Box at the end of next month,” the business said in a Saturday Instagram post.
The revelation from the downtown-area nightlife destination came the day after Botika chef-owner Geronimo Lopez said he's closing his Peruvian fusion restaurant on Aug. 4. Lopez, a James Beard Award nominee, has enjoyed a high profile thanks to appearances on Food Network shows Beat Bobby Flay and Chopped.
The owners of Blue Box, 312 Pearl Parkway, didn't give a reason for the impending closure. However, they left open the possibility that the business may return.
“We want to thank everyone for an amazing 12 years of service," the Instagram message said. "Please come by, have a drink and tip your bartenders. We may or may not be back, stay tuned. Thank you SA.”
Blue Box, which launched in 2012, was named after the blue cooler where third-shift Pearl Brewery employees stored their beers.
