An Irish pub in El Dorado Hills is closing its doors Saturday after more than a decade in the area.<\/p>\n
36 Handles Public House at 1010 White Rock Road announced on Instagram<\/a> that it would be shutting down. The pub operates in the Montano De El Dorado shopping center.<\/p>\n “This was an incredibly difficult decision,” the pub’s social media post read. ” We tried everything we could to keep going, but unfortunately, we were unable to make it work.”<\/p>\n This news comes after the pub filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July, according to the Sacramento Business Journal.<\/a> 36 Handles Public House had $500,000 to $1 million in estimated assets and $100,000 to $500,000 in estimated liabilities. At the time, manager Gurjeet Singh told the Journal the restaurant filed for bankruptcy to “give the business a path to a stronger financial footing.” The restaurant also faced eviction filings from Landlord Montano Ventures I LLC in 2025 and 2026, the Journal reported.<\/p>\n The owners of 36 Handles Public House did not respond to a request for comment from The Sacramento Bee.<\/p>\n The restaurant opened in 2012, and was named 36 Handles for its 36 beers on tap, according to its website<\/a>. It also serves typical bar food.<\/p>\n In its closure announcement, 36 Handles thanked the El Dorado Hills community for its support, extending gratitude to its customers, vendors, friends and musicians who performed at the venue.<\/p>\n “Over the years, 36 Handles has become much more than a restaurant,” the post read. “It has been a place where friendships began, families gathered, celebrations happened, and countless memories were made.”<\/p>\n Until its closure Saturday, 36 Handles is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n
