Stay in the Loop

Smack Shack To Undergo Slight Renovation

Can you go without lobster roll for a week? 

Smack Shack is closing its North Loop location for nearly a week, starting late Saturday night, to make an improvement that customers won’t actually notice. 

They need to replace the kitchen floor after nearly seven years of very busy foot traffic. Manager Briona Van Alst said this holiday week is usually one of the slowest of the year, so it made sense to do it now.

The kitchen will close at 10 PM on Saturday, November 23rd (although the bar will stay open till its usual 2 AM) and then Smack Shack plans to reopen on Black Friday, the 29th, at 5:00 PM with a limited menu.
