The Aquarius Tavern, a landmark watering hole since 1970, is closed.
Blaine Harris of the Saint John West Business Association confirms to CHSJ News the famed west side bar is closed throwing about 10 people out of work.
He says they have had a downswing in both the bar and food business over the last few years.
Harris says the owners have decided as of today that it’s just costing too much to maintain the property and the staff.
When asked if anyone else might take it over, Harris tells us he doesn’t know if anyone would take it over the Aquarius Tavern as a bar/restaurant adding it needs some work.
