Parkers Blue Ash Tavern is closing permanently, according to a recent announcement on their website.

Although the message is no longer on its site, an employee confirmed the business was closing due to COVID-19.

"It is with heavy hearts that we must announce the permanent closure of Parkers Blue Ash Tavern," read a statement on the restaurant's website. "The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the restaurant industry and Parkers, in particular, has proven insurmountable for us to reopen."

The company says it will give refunds for issued gift cards. Gift card reimburses will be given once the corporate office is reopened. Email your contact information, gift card number and return mailing address to info@selectrestaurants.com.

"We will always value the relationships we’ve formed over the years and will forever cherish our times together with you, the Blue Ash community."
