A Portsmouth, New Hampshire restaurant and bar closed permanently this week after two years of operation.
Hearth Eatery & Bar, located on the ground floor of the Brick Market building at 60 Penhallow St., announced its closure on Wednesday via its official website.
“This decision has not come easily. It follows months of consideration and the very real challenges of sustaining a space that has meant so much to us all,” the statement said.
The message thanked loyal customers for their support and praised the staff for their dedication during difficult times.
Hearth opened in 2023 as Hearth Food Garden, a 15,000-square-foot venue offering various dining and beverage options.
Marie Bodi, spokesperson for Portsmouth Hospitality, whose owner Mark McNabb also owns the building, described the business as becoming “unsustainable” over time.
“While we’ve been deeply grateful for the support of our community and loyal guests, the operational demands of running such a large and complex facility ultimately proved unsustainable,” Bodi said.
Customers with outstanding Hearth gift cards can request refunds or exchanges at other Portsmouth Hospitality restaurants, according to SeacoastOnline.
