The Town Hall Grill restaurant in Chapel Hill’s Southern Village announced it is permanently closed under its current concept.

The restaurant shared a graphic on its Facebook page on Monday titled ‘Official Closing Statement’ thanking the community and saying Sunday was its final day of service.

The announcement also indicated the owners would be retaining its space in Southern Village to rebrand into an authentic Italian restaurant with a specialty of pasta dishes. The graphic said the new concept aims to open in August.

The Town Hall Grill is the latest Chapel Hill restaurant to either permanently close or announce a drastic change during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In April, Lotsa Stone Fired Pizza closed after three years on Franklin Street, while Kipos Greek Taverna announced in May it would be moving from its current location on West Frankin Street.

The Town Hall Grill had been temporarily closed since March due to the coronavirus.
