Memphis Taproom, the Olde Richmond pub once visited by Guy Fieri, to close

Memphis Taproom, a longtime restaurant and beer garden in the Olde Richmond section of Philadelphia's River Wards, will close at the end of January. The gastropub, which once was featured on Guy Fieri's "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives," will be sold to people who plan to open another business at its location on Memphis and Cumberland streets. The owners cited the difficulties of maintaining an independent restaurant as the reason for the pending closure.
