ATLANTIC BEACH, Fla. — A popular gastropub in Atlantic Beach is closing its doors this weekend.
Whiskey Jax Kitchen & Cocktails announced on social media that Sunday will be the last day its Atlantic Beach location will be open, citing staffing issues.
"We've had a 2-year run, but we have never been able to get the right staff or to live up to personal expectations," the restaurant said on Wednesday in a post on Facebook.
The restaurant said it will continue its last week operating as usual, with events scheduled for every day of the week.
"During our final week, we will have our normal Whiskey Wednesday, live Blues Jam Thursday, Double Down band Friday, Boogie Freaks Saturday, plus Music Bingo Sunday," the post said.
The closure comes after the restaurant relocated from its former Jacksonville Beach location in 2022, moving five miles down the road to Atlantic Beach.
The first Whiskey Jax Kitchen & Cocktails location on Baymeadows Road will remain open, the owners said.
