CALGARY (660 NEWS) – A popular downtown bar and restaurant is closing soon but only temporarily.

CRAFT Beer Market on 10th Avenue S.W. will be undergoing significant renovations, including a new rooftop patio that will fit 300 people.

The bar will be closed on Sunday, July 28 and is expected to reopen at the end of September.

The renovation is anticipated to add over 100 jobs to the restaurant, with more than 30 per cent of those being full-time positions.

CRAFT’s second Calgary location at Southcentre will remain open during this time.
