Bear King Brewing Co., at 207 Ave. G, is closing its downtown Marble Falls location effective immediately, citing a “downturn in the economy, rising costs and ongoing financial challenges,” in a Tuesday, March 3, media release.
“Closing Bear King is one of the hardest things we’ve ever had to do. This place was never
just beer – it was a community that welcomed us from day one. We’re incredibly grateful,
and we hope everyone will come raise one last glass with us on Saturday,” JD Guidry,
brewmaster and owner of Bear King, said in the release.
The brewery and restaurant will reopen for one final day on Saturday, March 7, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., giving the community an opportunity to celebrate staff and longtime customers, with all food proceeds donated directly to staff members. The farewell event will feature a discounted food menu while supplies last, including free chips and queso, and free chicken strips for kids. There will also be everything-must-go discounts on remaining items. Drinks will be available throughout the day.
Founded by four siblings and their families, the 5,500-square-foot taproom and restaurant opened in February 2019. The space features indoor seating, an open-air beer garden, patio games and live music, and has served as a gathering place in downtown Marble Falls.
