Ah damn, after nearly seven years in business Anise Global Gastrobar in downtown Tampa is closing its doors for good this month. 

Where will Wine & Rhyme go? What will happen to Hidden Star Tiki Bar

The last day for the gastro bar will be Saturday, September 14. General Manager of Anise, Christina Gilson told CL that the restaurant isn't making any official statements at this time, but if Anise closes, Hidden Star Tiki Bar will close down as well.

The Anise team took to Facebook to announce the coming closure. 

"As with everything in life, chapters must end so that new growth can begin. The factors involved in the decision to close our doors have signaled that it is time for all of us at Anise to move on to our next adventures." 

Don't worry, you won't have to go far to get a taste of what Anise had to offer, there are sprinkles of the cuisine in concepts around town.

"Be on the lookout for our talented teammates scattered around the Tampa Bay area & beyond. And go to North Star at The Hall on Franklin to get your Stinky Bunz & Jap Chae noodle fix." 

Go get your last sips in before the doors close for good.
