These 6 Triangle restaurants & breweries closed recently. What to know

Several restaurants and breweries across the Triangle have recently said goodbye.

Some of the businesses had lasted for years, but others were open only for a matter of months.

Here’s what to know about recent changes in the Triangle’s food scene.

3 Raleigh restaurants shut down

• Barley & Burger closed on Hillsborough Street after only three months. The space, well-known for being one of the most popular Darryl’s restaurant locations, most recently housed David’s Dumplings & Noodle Bar for 15 years.
• Jaguar Bolera shut down abruptly in Raleigh Iron Works, leaving a 23,000-square-foot vacancy in the development. The eater-tainment venue, known for duckpin bowling and self-serve drinks, cited “unforeseen circumstances” in a sign on the door announcing the closure.
• Bahama Breeze in Raleigh closed early — ahead of its previously announced Sunday, April 5 deadline — after parent company Darden said it was shuttering or converting all locations to other Darden concepts.

Cary restaurant closes after 2 years

• Paris Banh Mi in Cary permanently closed after about two years. The chain now only has a Chapel Hill location in the Triangle.

Durham restaurant and brewery close

• Bella Napoli Pizzeria & Italian Grill in Durham quietly closed around mid-February after four years at Patterson Place.
• Flying Bull Beer Company closed its original Ninth Street taproom and coffee shop in Durham at the end of February. The closure will allow Flying Bull to focus on its Morris Street brewery and restaurant, as the brewery expands distribution into grocery stores.
