Jake's to close for renovations

Jake's Bar & Grill, which has been enlivening Providence's Jewelry District with music, food and drink since 1999, plans to close for renovations.

Proprietor Jackie Nichols tells N4N that the bar will close after this Saturday. She hopes to reopen after Labor Day.

Jackie says the renovations, to create a warmer ambience, have been mulled for a long time and are overdue. This seemed like a good time to go forward, she says, since it's a slower time for business. No major changes in entertainment, staffing, or the menu are planned for when busines resumes.
