On Tuesday morning, Callahan’s Restaurant & Deli announced that the popular restaurant would permanently close after more than 30 years serving the community.

“It is with great sadness that Gary and I announce the closing of our beloved Callahan’s Restaurant,” wrote the restaurant. “We would like to thank all our wonderful guests and employees who have supported us over the past 30 years. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve our community.”

  • The owners hinted that it was time for them to “move on to the next chapter” of their lives.

While the restaurant would like to stay open until Saturday, March 26th, the hours will depend upon available staffing.

“From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you all,” they wrote.

According to Beverage Law Professional’s Gil Osterloh, his company is already working with a new restaurant to take over the location.

“My firm, Beverage Law Professionals, will be assisting the new owners with its food service and alcoholic beverage licensing,” he wrote. “It will be a fresh seafood concept and is expected to open at the beginning of June.”
