Crum's Bar and Grill in St. Petersburg, home to a vast selection of craft beers on tap and homemade potato chips, is closing. Thursday night, owners Chris Crum and Lanette Miller announced the bar would shut down until its final night on Saturday, June 15.

The Best of the Bay award-winning craft beer spot boasted more than 60 taps; offered affordable (and good) bar food; and hosted events like Beer School with the Florida Beer Company, live music, open mic night, and karaoke. Recently, Crum's was the backdrop to a live reading of Sylvia Plath's Ariel by literature mavens like Colette Bancroft, Natty Moss Bond, Roxanne Fay, and Gina Vivinetto.
