HARTFORD, Conn. — The Chowder Pot of Hartford will be serving the last of its guests after almost 30 years in business on Saturday, March 25, 2023.
The owners of the seafood eatery, located at 165 Brainard Road, announced the closing date on Facebook following the announcement of its permanent closure in early January.
"It has been bittersweet since announcing our closing. The number of guests that have come in to eat and all of the positive comments in person and on social media have not gone unnoticed and are extremely appreciated by all of us here at the Chowder Pot," the post said. "While we had a good run at this location, it is time to say goodbye and look to do something different."
In a post on Facebook, the owners said the restaurant’s building first opened in 1965 for the old Valle’s Steak House before it switched to the Hilltop Steakhouse. In 1994, the U.S.S. Chowder Pot IV opened.
The restaurant's Facebook page features photos of people sharing how they are going to miss the popular eatery.
"Anniversary dinner at one of our favorite spots!! This will be our last anniversary celebration here since they are closing in the coming weeks," one person wrote.
