A beloved bar closed its doors permanently on Sunday. <\/p>\n

Fat Head\u2019s in South Side ended their final day after being open for 34 years.<\/p>\n

After opening in 1992, the award-winning craft brewery announced via social media at the end of March that they would be closing. <\/p>\n

Countless people shared photos over the past weeks, showing their loved for the bar\/restaurant that had been a South Side staple for over 30 years.<\/p>\n

With demand so high of people wanting to visit Fat Head\u2019s one last time, wait times were long leading up to the closing.<\/p>\n

Fat Head’s production facility and three Ohio locations will remain open. You can still get Fat Head\u2019s beer <\/a>at many distributors around Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n

One long-time employee says that the ongoing threat of violence on the South Side likely played a factor into the decision to close down. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A beloved bar closed its doors permanently on Sunday.
