The Newest Restaurant and Bar Closures in Minneapolis and St. Paul | Eater Twin Cities

"I learned they announced they’ll close on September 23, just shy of their nine-year anniversary, blaming a one-two punch of COVID and the civil unrest outside their doors and ultimately an inability to afford the rent; Eastlake has been a fixture of Lake Street’s Midtown Global Market (an incubator that opened in 2006 and saw a roughly 75 percent drop in foot traffic early in the pandemic), several events are planned for the brewery’s final days, and the market had a big opening earlier this year with NATIF’s Indigenous Food Lab." - Justine Jones
