After five years of service, The Bank Vault will be closing.
Located at 101 N. College St., The Bank Vault will be closing with a bang during their "the last night of The Bank Vault event" May 30, where they will have live music and will be celebrating their past years.
Ben Barley, general manager of The Bank Vault, said they will not be relocating once they close.
"We have new owners of our building, and our lease is up on May 31, and they want to increase the rent about over 100 percent, so that's not something that's feasible," Barley said. "It's not affordable to do it."
Barley said the new owners of the space said they have a restaurant business interested in renting the space.
Barley said a majority of The Bank Vault's customers are regulars.
"This is one of the only places you can go and it's really kind of mellow," Barley said. "You just come in, sit down, have drinks and talk. There's not too many places like that around here."
