A longtime Iowa City bar and restaurant is setting the record straight on rumors it was closing or rebranding as a sports bar.
In recent weeks, rumors swirled on social media that The Sanctuary on South Gilbert Street would close and reopen as a sports bar. A Saturday morning post on the Sanctuary’s Facebook page has dispelled those rumors, while detailing some of the new renovations. The post says the Sanctuary remains open for business with new furniture in the red room and new coolers being installed. Once the renovations are complete, the Sanctuary will have 27 different beers on tap. The post notes The Sanctuary will NOT be transitioning into a sports bar, and will maintain its reputation for live music, great food and special events.
One commenter on the Facebook post asked about the pub and restaurant’s ownership. The official Sanctuary Facebook account replied, “Hi! I’m Dee and my husband is Chris and we own The Sanctuary. Excited to serve the community!”
