Relocated New American Restaurant Closed in the Triangle

New American restaurant Provision Dining House closed up in the Triangle, according to its website. This seems to have happened sometime in the fall of 2022, potentially in November or December. The restaurant had relocated to Triangle address of 4600 West Guadalupe Street — taking over a former Maudie’s space — in June of 2022. Before that, it originally opened in the Quarry in October 2019 but closed in June 2020 because of the pandemic.

Former manager Lena Jacobs launched a GoFundMe campaign to help former staffers impacted by the shutter, writing that the staff was “told the business was sold and we were all being let go.”

New very Low-ABV Beer
