Fogtown Brewing Company will not reopen its Bar Harbor bar and restaurant this year.
The Ellsworth-based business opened Bar Harbor Kitchen & Taproom next door to the Criterion Theatre on Cottage Street in 2020.
The new location, opened in the midst of the pandemic, “came with challenges but also so many great moments — open mics, trivia nights, farm-to-table dinners, live music, art shows, and more,” owner and co-founder Jon Stein wrote on Instagram.
Fogtown’s flagship at 25 Pine St. in Ellsworth location will continue to operate.
“As the world keeps changing, so do we. Our focus now shifts fully to Fogtown Ellsworth, where we remain committed to brewing with local ingredients, paying fair wages, and creating a space for craft, conversation, music, and collaboration,” Stein said.
