Hillsborough Bar & Grill Closes, Blames Coronavirus Restrictions

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — Big Heads, a sports bar and grill, is the latest business to close in Hillsborough due to the coronavirus.

"Because of COVID and the restrictions we couldn't hang on anymore," said Sherry Harrison with Big Heads in Hillsborough.

Harrison said the business was doing well before the pandemic but after being closed for about 7 months, they lost more than $500,000 in sales. And while being closed Big Heads still had to pay rent, sewer, and water.

The bar and grill permanently closed its location in the Hillsborough Promenade off Route 206 late last week.

"With heavy hearts we are sad to say 2020 took us down. We can not keep up with this race no more," Big Heads of Hillsborough posted on its Facebook page. "Keep in touch and we will be back in another location, stronger, in time."
