Reply to comment by elporkco in why did velvet libations in wolcott close? by updownsidewayz

yah that's the common answer, though I was hoping to get something more specific (edit) like it was the taint of shebeen! it is in the old shebeen taproom location so that's what made me suspect it's them with a different name or owners disagreed and split or whatever it may be, just seems odd to open a new taproom then 6 month later close it up

I don't know I have seen new restaurants open and close within six months. Location, parking, near by companion. And over estimates of demand. One place in my town has opened and closed under different names and owners 3 times in the past 2 yrs.

all good, yah I've seen the same, places opening and closing in "rapid" succession in some "cursed" restaurant locations, anyway prob be one of those things that unless we hear from an insider or someone in the know it will just be a generic reason... was asking because I saw a bunch well known ct foodie instagrammers and tiktokers (edit aka influensters) post about the place, the social media marketing worked out for the posters but not the business

Yeah, I found out about them through CT foodie accounts, stopped in once, and next thing I knew they were closed. I was also wondering if there was a back story there.
