December is turning out to be a rough month for some local Jersey City businesses. Not long after news broke of Just Beclaws’ closing, we’ve learned that Corgi Spirits (1 Distillery Drive) is also closing. Via a post on their Instagram account, the Corgi Spirits team stated that their landlord hasn’t renewed their lease, thereby forcing them to close down. The distillery and cocktail lounge will be open through December 30.
Additionally, Crave Burger Cafe (61 Baldwin Avenue) has announced on Instagram that they will close their doors on December 23. However, they have plans to reopen in spring of 2024 at a new location. The burger shop will reopen under the new name of Majestic Burger.
Finally, the Iron Monkey (99 Greene) has stated via Instagram that it’ll be closing its doors on December 31. “After nearly three wonderful decades in business, it is with mixed emotions that we announce the closure of the Iron Monkey Bar & Restaurant,” states the post.
