Players to close in Davenport
Players, a sports bar, in East Village of East Davenport, announced Thursday on Facebook that they will close in January. The sports bar is located at 2218 E. 11th St.
"Players is sad to report that we could not come to terms with the current landlord on a new lease agreement. We have been asked to vacate the building effective January 31st," the post read. "While the run was short, just over 3 1/2 years, there have been many amazing memories and tragedies over those 3 1/2 short years. Please follow our page and relive as many of those memories as we can until we fly out of the East Village of East Davenport."
The post went on to thank patrons for supporting them and that they always tried to provide a fun, family-type atmosphere. Employees and other bars in the East Village of Davenport were also thanked in the post.Â
