3 New Milford Restaurants Close

NEW MILFORD, CT — Three New Milford restaurants part of a recently launched hospitality group have closed. Cool Hand Duke's, Zaragoza's, and Duke's Tavern formed Duke's Hospitality Group earlier this spring.

Kylie Costello, event coordinator for Village Green Events, wrote in an email to Patch that Cool Hand Duke's and Zaragoza closed about three weeks ago. Duke's Tavern has also closed.

Duke's Tavern at 59 Bank St. was the newest addition to the group, which hoped to bring "the feel of a well-established, local bar with the food and cocktail offerings of a gourmet tavern," according to a statement.

Cool Hand Duke's at 30 Railroad St. served barbecue, burgers, and whiskey.

Zaragoza was located at 31 Bank St. and was known for its tapas offerings.

The Cue from Danbury will open a second location at the tavern and 31 Railroad Street location, according to Costello. A new restaurant has also signed a lease for the former Zaragoza space.
