Diego’s Downtown Kitchen Crew
Diego’s Downtown is apparently going to be closing. They reported this on their Facebook page early this morning, but someone deleted the message. Luckily our friends at Downtown Inc. copied it before it was removed:
“It is with a Heavy Heart that I must share that Diego’s will no longer be as of the end of February…I want to thank the team who delivered the best service and product to our customers every single day. I would also like to thank the customers and fans of Diego’s as well. Your accolades and time you shared made our jobs enjoyable. Thank you to all the promoters and bands who roared in our hall and kept the walls thumping. We will fulfill all the commitments for February but will cancel all dates after the end of month.”
