Halligan Bar & Grill closes Short Pump location at West Broad Village over the weekend
Owner Shawn Gregory and his wife Cynthia closed the restaurant on Sunday evening as they look forward to their plans for retirement.
The Halligan Bar & Grill’s Short Pump location has been extinguished. Owner Shawn Gregory decided to close the doors of the firefighting-themed barbecue restaurant in the West Broad Village shopping center as he and his wife Cynthia look forward to retirement.
Gregory took to Facebook late last week to announce the news:
This is the most difficult post I have ever had to make. It is with a very heavy heart that I announce the Halligan Short Pump will close its doors forever on Sunday 11/5. It has been a great run and we are so proud of the Halligan and all of the wonderful good things it did over the years. We have met some of the greatest people and friends along the way, but it’s time for Cynthia and I to finally retire. Come on down and help us “Rescue the Fun” one more time as we wind down this weekend. It has been our pleasure to serve up Richmond’s best BBQ to the best people in this city for over a decade.
The restaurant’s last day in business was Sunday, November 5th. The original location in Shockoe Bottom closed back in August; a third (and now the sole) restaurant remains open in Ashland.
