Is it just me or does any restaurant that opens on 16th Street in Phoenix seem to have only a 50-50 chance to last six months?
The latest casualty is Brat Haus, which announced its closure on Facebook just four months after opening:
‘‘We are saddened to announce that after only a few short months, it has been determined that our location at 16th St and Bethany Home will not do sufficient volume to sustain a viable business. We have closed the doors but will continue to do our best to offer the best service, food and experience at our Old Town (Scottsdale) location.’’
Brat Haus had taken over the space formerly occupied by Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop, which closed in March.
Dave Andrea, who owns Brat Haus, also closed DoH!, a doughnut and bagel shop connected to Brat Haus.
