Spoonriver Restaurant In Downtown Minneapolis To Close

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Popular downtown Minneapolis restaurant Spoonriver will be shutting its doors in mid-December.

The restaurant, which opened in 2006, is located next to the Guthrie Theater in downtown East.

The owner says Spoonriver's legacy will live on through a partnership. Birchwood Café and the Minnesota Farmers Union will open a dining concept in the space this spring.

WCCO's Jason DeRusha profiled the restaurant in a 2015 edition of "DeRusha Eats."
