It’s official: The Golden Pineapple in Tempe is closed permanently

🍍 The Golden Pineapple Craft Lounge, which ‘‘temporarily’’ closed for repairs last fall, will not reopen, a former manager has confirmed.

The Golden Pineapple opened in 2020, taking over the former Italian restaurant Quartiere on the west side of Mill between Broadway and Southern. (The building previously was home to Riazzi’s Italian Garden for 72 years.)

The Golden Pineapple was part of a hospitality group that includes The Beer Barn in Gilbert, The Sleepy Whale in Chandler, and The Wandering Tortoise and The Theodore in Phoenix.
