A POPULAR Barrow restaurant has announced it will be closing its doors.
Owners of The Barrow Arms Restaurant & Bar based on Cavendish Street have announced it will be shutting down.
A spokesman from the restaurant said: "With regret, we inform you that after a lot of thinking and consideration, we have taken the unfortunate decision to close the doors of The Barrow Arms Restaurant
"Behind this decision there are economic reasons (the economic degradation of the town center of Barrow is, unfortunately, the main reason), the state of the building is not in a good state and a lot more reasons.
"We have taken the decision to stay open until the end of August however it is possible we might be closing sooner if the Brewery finds another tenant.
"We are sad to take this decision, we will perhaps be opening somewhere else in the UK.
"We thank you to all our customers who have been supporting us since the very beginning, and those who will be with us until the very end."
