Months After Opening, Hartford Restaurant Is Closing

HARTFORD, CT — Less than a year after opening up on Arch Street in Hartford, the owners of a Peruvian restaurant/bar announced this week it is closing.

According to "The Triple Three 333,"the bar and restaurant's last day of operation will be Sunday, June 1.

The eatery's grand opening was Aug. 29, 2024, with the owners not giving a reason for the restaurant's shuttering.

It did, however, post messages earlier this month about several openings at the restaurant.

Staff issues combined with increased costs post-pandemic have forced many restaurants to close locally and nationally.

For "Triple Three," however, no official reason was given.

"After months of memories, laughter, hard work, and heart, we’re saying goodbye. June 1 will be the final day of The Triple Three," wrote Triple Three last Saturday, May 24.

"This place was more than a restaurant. It was home. It was family. It was a dream built with love and lived out loud."

The restaurant's Facebook page featured promotional videos involving staff, often in the form of comedy skits that talked up the eatery's offerings in a fun and humorous way.

According to "Triple Three's" profile with the Hartford Chamber of Commerce, the restaurant was banking on foot traffic from the nearby University of Connecticut Hartford campus, Travelers Insurance, and the Connecticut Convention Center to pull in business.

Now, less than a year after opening, "Triple Three" is closing.

In its goodbye message to the community, Triple Three thanks the community it was a part of for a few months.

"Thank you to every person who stepped through our doors, danced at our events, sat at our bar, supported our team, and made this journey unforgettable," wrote restaurant officials.

On Saturday night, May 31, Triple Three is hosting one, final celebration with food, drink, and music.
