The Swizzle South Shore in Warwick will “permanently cease operations,” the owner confirmed today, explaining that “the crippling effects of the Covid-19 virus and the subsequent contraction of the local economy for many months to come, it was clear that to continue on would only bring mounting debt.”
Jay Correia said, “It is with great regret that the decision has been made to permanently cease operations at The Swizzle South Shore in Warwick.
“With the crippling effects of the Covid-19 virus and the subsequent contraction of the local economy for many months to come, it was clear that to continue on would only bring mounting debt month after month that the restaurant could not bear and therefore, to preclude any further losses, we have made the difficult choice to close down.
“We would like to thank our hard working team for all their contributions that allowed us to have the success we enjoyed over the past 14 years and we are indebted to them.
“We will do our best to absorb as many of them as we can into the Swizzle Inn Bailey’s Bay team where we will be focusing all of our efforts.
“Please rest assured our staff are our most important asset and we will do all that is required of us to ensure they are properly looked after.
“Lastly, we want to thank all of the locals and visitors from around the world who supported us so well over the years. It was our privilege and honour to serve you and we hope to continue to do so at The Swizzle Inn Bailey’s Bay.”
