After being open in St. Pete for four years, British-inspired restaurant and pub The Studio Public House will close this summer.
Chef and owner Mike Crippen announced its closing on Monday via social media, and mentioned that the landlord decided not to renew the contract.
Crippen opened the space at 2950 Central Ave. in 2021, shortly after the closing of Moon Under Water, where he was executive chef. The Studio got its name from the building’s history as a recording studio for local musicians.
A closing date has not been announced. While he looks for a new location, Crippen is still serving customer favorites like fish and chips, curry potato volcano and the Bollywood chicken curry.
“Please support our staff if there are jobs available and listen out for new spots or options for us,” he wrote in the announcement.
