I have nothing official to back this up, but I thought I’d pass along what I’d heard…
The Pilgrim Restaurant on Clifton Hill will be closing for good on October 15. As was discussed (see this comment and the ones that follow) back in January/February, the Hilltop Motel building was sold. There was some thought that the leases of the various tenants all had several years left. What I heard was that the leases were supposed to be extended, but weren’t. Supposedly the hotel on the top of the building was in terrible shape and water would leak into the restaurant. It could be that because of health & safety regulations, the lease was terminated.
If anyone knows any details, leave a comment. I’ll post more when/if I find out more.
