Nearly a decade after opening in downtown Naugatuck, 66 Church has announced it will be closing its doors in the coming weeks.
In a video posted to their Instagram on Tuesday, the restaurant said the decision comes with a heavy heart as "we reflect on the countless moments that turned our bar into a home away from home for so many. From the friendships formed to the unforgettable nights spent together, 66 Church has truly been a local landmark."
The restaurant said since opening in 2015, its mission was to inject lively energy into downtown Naugatuck with a one-of-a-kind experience that brought people together.

The post did not give any details about why the restaurant is closing.
