I see Ballast Point is closing their kitchen & bar?! Wow

Every time I went (which includes a goodly number of non-game weekends), the place was packed. And I mean surprisingly packed for being in such a location.

It is a beautiful bar area. Super offerings that one doesn't find in the stores at all. The food I've ordered there was always top-notch. And I'm not even mentioning the insanely great views yet.

I'm shocked. Why would they close? The main $$ has to be from brewing. Okay. But that bar area and kitchen are already constructed and so are a sunk cost. How much could they have been losing with a packed house? Was it mismanaged?

I'm baffled.

Anyone "in the know" as to what happened there?

The Ballast Point brand overall is not doing very well -- Apex-Hokie 09/13/2019 09:42AM

I hope their pot investment does better. ** -- Hokie360 09/13/2019 10:54AM

Too many good options that aren't $13 a sixer ** -- JoesterVT 09/13/2019 09:50AM

Probably will outsource that stuff to someone else -- turkeywinghokie 09/13/2019 09:09AM

Several of our local breweries have food trucks that show up. -- EDGEMAN 09/13/2019 09:30AM

Basically, they said they just didn't want to be in the restaurant bidness -- JoesterVT 09/13/2019 09:14AM

Went downhill after adopting a menu of only wurst, schnitzel, & sauerkraut ** -- JoesterVT 09/13/2019 08:45AM

Clearly our decision to NOT go there one week ago today was vital to them -- Late 80s Hokie 09/13/2019 08:42AM
