O'Shucks is ending its 20-year run at Quarry Village in Pinebrook, with a new restaurant called Hounds and Handles preparing to take over the space.
The restaurant announced the transition in a Nov. 3 Instagram post, saying it would hand the location to a new generation of local restaurant operators.
"After 20 years of hosting the party in Pinebrook, we have decided to pass our keys over to the next generation of local restaurant operators," O'Shucks said.
The restaurant thanked its employees, customers and regulars for their support over the years. It said Hounds and Handles was expected to open later in November, but did not provide an exact date.
The location is at 8178 Gorgoza Pines Road in Quarry Village.
A family-oriented location
The Corrigan family opened the Pinebrook restaurant in 2006, according to the O'Shucks company history.
Unlike the family's other bar locations, the Quarry Village restaurant was designed to accommodate families.
"We wanted to make that one for families, because our kids weren't able to come into our other places," Debra Corrigan said on the company website. "So we licensed it as a restaurant."
The family started O'Shucks in Corpus Christi, Texas, in the mid-1980s before moving to Salt Lake City in 1988 and Park City in 1992.
The business expanded to downtown Salt Lake City in 1997 and added The White House in downtown Park City in 2023.
Other locations remain open
O'Shucks said its downtown Park City and Salt Lake City locations would continue operating as usual after the Pinebrook transition.
The Park City location is The White House at 628 Park Ave. The Salt Lake City restaurant is at 22 E. 100 South.
The Nov. 3 announcement identified Hounds and Handles as the incoming restaurant and projected a November opening. It did not identify the new operators or provide a menu.
The announcement did not specify an opening day or establish that Hounds and Handles had begun operating as of Nov. 11.
