"We had really good local regulars who we will sorely miss, but not enough lunch time and mainstream patrons to keep the doors open," Groenewold told The Leader. "We gave it our best shot. Good luck to the Greater Heights neighborhood."

Groenewold told the Leader the other locations will remain open and are all doing well. Stuttgarden Tavern off the Strand in Galveston features a beer garden, full liquor bar and offers German dishes and pub fare. Other locations can be found in Kemah and Texas City.
