Downtown Cuban-themed eatery Pineapple Ink Tavern announced its closing on its Facebook page, Wednesday afternoon.
“From our very first day to our very last, we have been humbled by the love, laughter, and community that filled these walls,” read the management’s letter to the public posted pon social media. To everyone who dined with us, celebrated milestones here, and made us part of your traditions—thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
Owner Allan Soto first launched the bistro and bar at the corner of Broad and 10th Streets in March of 2020, having to close its doors not long after amid the Covid pandemic.
In summer of 2022, the restaurant reopened with an emphasis on Cuban cuisine, drawing on Soto’s heritage, with the dinner menu offering the likes of empanadas and roast mojo pork dishes along brunch mainstays and like shrimp and grits and steak and eggs.
“Though the doors are now closed, the memories will always remain. Here’s to the meals shared, the friendships made, and the many stories that began at our tables,” read the announcing post. “As we look to the future and the many exciting developments downtown, we are eager to explore and develop what this space will become.”
Pineapple Ink Tavern was at 1002 Broad St.
