Q: I see the Old Naples Pub on Third is closing. Do you have any idea why Neapolitan didn’t renew their lease? Also, do you know what they’re planning on doing with the site? —Jeff Lopez, Naples 

A: The Old Naples Pub plans to permanently close at the end of the month after a nearly 35-year run in downtown Naples.  

The owners of the popular local hangout at 255 13th Ave. S., off Third Street South near the Naples Pier, have announced their retirement. The co-owners and Naples natives, Tim Flock and Kent Schooley, are retiring after a long, successful run operating the Old Naples Pub, the Village Pub and the former Island Pub. The Village Pub will remain open by Bottleneck Management, a Chicago-based restaurant group that has been operating the business at Venetian Village since September.
