The Bards lease expires this month and while we had intended to extend it and continue trading, recent events have made that option untenable. The health and safety of our loyal customers and staff must be our main concern.
However the restrictions imposed by the virus make it impossible for small bars such as The Bards to adhere to the social distancing and other rules and still trade without making substantial losses.
So it is with much sadness that we announce that The Bards will not re-open again and that our 26 happy years in Philadelphia have now finally come to an end. Its been a great long run – and we will always be grateful to the people of Philadelphia for making us part of this great city for so long.
We wish to thank all those who contributed to the success of The Bards over all these years - customers and staff alike. We particularly want to thank Michael who has stayed the course with us through good times and bad throughout all these years.
We hope for better, virus free times ahead – times of peace and joy for all.
