Action News Jax called the restaurant to confirm the Facebook post was accurate and restaurant staff confirmed it was.

We have contacted SPB Hospitality, which lists A1A Ale Works among its brands on its website, to see if it could provide more information on the reason for the restaurant’s closure.

Ragtime Tavern in Atlantic Beach, Seven Bridges in Jacksonville, and J. Alexanders, which has a location at the St. Johns Town Center, are also among SPB Hospitality’s brands. We have asked SPB if any of those restaurants are affected and we are waiting to hear back.
