After two-and-a-half years in business, Stur Restaurant and Lounge has closed its doors in Edwardsville. The closure was announced on the restaurant’s Facebook page Tuesday, Dec. 27.
Co-owners Angie and John Schmitt opened Stur in June 2014 with a menu focused on cocktails, shared plates and appetizers. Schmitt opened with the help of My Mixologist, a consultancy program that designs cocktail menus and trains staff to create the beverages.
The Facebook post did not identify the reason for closing, but thanked its customers for their patronage. Angie Schmitt did not return requests for comments.
