"A rustic, charming mainstay on Johnson Pier, Ketch Joanne Restaurant & Harbor Bar closed permanently on August 3 after 48 years; I learned the Franklin family announced via Instagram that they are “set sail for a new adventure.” Joanne and Jon Franklin moved to the area with their three kids in 1975 and quickly ingrained the business into the community fabric. In an area seeing increased food and bar attention, Ketch served staples all day and into the night — from affordable french toast in the morning to a full cocktail bar for Tequila Sunrises and martinis at night — keeping a classic burger-and-beer vibe for locals and visitors alike." - Paolo Bicchieri
