Tonight is your last night to grab a slice of pizza at Lemmons. The South City bar and music joint located at 5800 Gravois Ave., is closing doors, according to an annoucement yesterday, June 26, on Facebook. The post added that the restaurant’s last day depends on how long it takes for the food and drink to run out. “We will be selling what we have and not buying more,” the post read. “Come thursday and friday (sic) for your last chance at a lemmons pizza.”
As reported by Kevin C. Johnson of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, owner Michael Gross is closing Lemmons’ doors after an exhaustive 12 years in the industry. Lemmons, which opened in 2002 in Bevo Mill, was known for its pizza, trivia nights and original local music.
Lemmons is yet another restaurant throwing in the towel this month, including Tripel, The Nest, Brazkiat, Harvest and Lola. Calls to Lemmons requesting comment were not immediately returned.
