Owners Lisa and Patrick Balcom have announced their award-winning farm-to-table Farow Restaurant will close in Niwot on Jan. 11. In a social media post, they noted “the rising costs of doing business have made it impossible to continue in a sustainable way.”

In December, the couple announced the closing of their Japanese eatery, Baa Hachi, in Longmont’s Parkway Food Hall. Earlier this year, Farow moved away from its fine dining concept.

Farow opened in September 2021.

DJ’s Watering Hole, which uniquely featured authentic barbecue and Indian fare, has closed at 988 W. Dillon Road in Louisville. 

A fire has indefinitely closed Half Fast Subs on the Hill.
