Dear Patrons of Fork and Ale,

As our ten-year anniversary approaches, it is with sad and heavy hearts that we have made the difficult decision to close Fork and Ale.

For those who know us as owners, you are likely aware that this industry has been our passion for nearly twenty years, starting with Craft Ale House in Limerick in 2008, and following with Fork and Ale in 2016. Fork and Ale has been all about bringing a fresh creative, local approach to food, craft beer, and cocktails to the area.

Over the years we have had the privilege of experiencing amazing patrons, friends, couples, trail users and families gathering to eat, drink and enjoy themselves in our establishment. As owners, there is nothing that fills our hearts more than seeing customers enjoying what we and our team have created. We thank all of you who have valued and appreciated our business, and to those of you who have frequented Fork and Ale on a regular basis, you have become family to both of us and our staff.

Since 2008, we have seen many changes in the restaurant industry. Varying difficulties have increased over the years, along with changing and often challenging times. Despite navigating many peaks and valleys, over past years, we feel it is time to step away to consolidate our efforts into one business, as well as look forward to some personal time and quality of life improvement.

We extend our gratitude to the current and past staff members along with all who have visited Fork and Ale, experienced our food and drink, and supported us. You have all contributed to our passion project and shaped Fork and Ale into what it is today. We appreciate your loyalty and trust, and it has been an absolute privilege serving you.

We hope this isn't goodbye, and that we will continue to see your faces at Craft Ale House!

Sincerely,
Gary and Melissa Fry, Owners
