Closed
After more than 30 years of operation, Big River Grille & Brewing Works announced it has closed its doors for good. The owners of the downtown spot, SPB Hospitality, stated that they “tried every avenue possible to avoid closure, but ultimately could not continue to operate.” (NewsChannel 9)
