Iconic Lake Wales Restaurant Closing – Owners Will Regroup & Repair & Open Similar Restaurant In 2025

Date:

In a shocking move the owners of the Crazy Fish Bar & Grill posted on social media Monday night, Sept 30, that the restaurant will be closing Oct 19th.

Comments were wide ranging from sadness, confidence in the future and frustration as the restaurant was appreciated by many.

Prior to Jim & Jeannie Christensen buying the restaurant around 2002 it was a biker bar affectionately known as the Bears Den! The two of them ran the restaurant and built it into a community staple until they sold in 2019. Then new owners Matthew Brock & Dwayne McQuillen. They also invested in Harry’s Old Place as well as two newer unique restaurants in Brakes Burger Garage and Locoritto.

This is a developing story and we will update it shortly.

Post on Facebook by the Owners of Crazy Fish

“Attention Crazy Fish fans. I write this post to officially announce the closing of our restaurant. Our last day of operation will be October 19 2024.

Our plan is to regroup, make some needed repairs and come back with the next evolution of this location, Crazy Fish Key West Kitchen. We intend to open in the spring of 2025.

Come join us over the next 3 weeks and help end on a high note and celebrate the hard working staff that made it all possible over the years.”
