A popular restaurant and watering hole known for its pizza in Voorheesville is closing.

Smith's Tavern will close May 27 to make way for Stewart's Shops at its Maple Avenue site. Plans for Stewart's first surfaced about nearly a year ago.

The village's planning commission continues to review the site application and will meet Tuesday.
