VZD's Restaurant & Bar To Close This Year

An uptown staple announced they are closing their doors at the end of the summer.

On Friday, VZD's Restaurant & Bar announced they will be closing their 4200 North Western Avenue location.

The ownership of the building has changed as of the beginning of 2023 and organizers said “our new landlords will be exploring other options for our current space."

Oraganizers said they have reached an agreement with the new landlords to remain open until September.

VZD's Restaurant & Bar released the following statement: 

Fortunately, we have come to terms with the current landlords to allow us to extend our lease through the end of the summer, so that you can have some time to come by, eat, drink, listen to our wonderful local musicians, and enjoy what remains of the last iteration of VZD’s as we know it…as our last weekend of business will occur Friday 9/1 and Saturday 9/2 with hometown favorites Wakeland graciously giving us a proper send off with two back to back shows.

Organizers have stated they are working on potential next steps and future developments.
