DETROIT LAKES (KDLM) – Spitfire Bar & Grill in Detroit Lakes has announced their closure.

The business which opened in November 2018 after purchasing and remodeling The Speakeasy announced on Facebook, Tuesday that they’ve been unable to hire enough people to provide a level of service and quality that meets Spitfire’s standards.

“To make this a viable restaurant, which would include providing an atmosphere that our team members and patrons deserve, we simply would need more people. The restaurant is closed effective immediately,” the statement said.

Catering events that have been scheduled will still be honored as will gift cards, though they’ll need to be redeemed at Spitfire’s West Fargo location. The company says that team members from Detroit Lakes will be offered positions in West Fargo if interested.
