Plumby's Restaurant In Middletown Permanently Closed

MIDDLETOWN, RI — Plumby's restaurant in Middletown has closed its doors for good, citing difficulties related to the COVID-19 pandemic, reported What's Up Newp.

Located at 499 East Main Road, Plumby's was a fast-casual restaurant from Brick Alley Pub & Restaurant that opened to the public last summer, offering both Brick Alley favorites and new menu items.

“We are incredibly proud of our team for what they have accomplished here as this decision is not due to a lack of business or a lack of demand, but rather a need to focus and best support our team as we move forward," the Plumb family told What's Up Newp.

Plumby's closed on May 30, but Brick Alley Pub & Restaurant will remain open for business. The family said all Plumby's employees have been offered positions at their other restaurant.

“On behalf of our entire family, we want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to our amazing team at both Plumby’s and Brick Alley Pub & Restaurant," said the family. "You have navigated this pandemic with incredible grace, effort, and commitment to excellence. We would also like to thank our amazing customers, some of which are faces we have known for 40+ years at Brick Alley and some were new to our brand here at Plumby’s."
