It’s taken just a week for Penrith to suffer its first hospitality closure of the year, with a CBD restaurant confirming it won’t return in 2025.
Henry’s Bar and Restaurant on Henry Street has closed its doors, management has confirmed.
“It is with great sadness that we inform you that Henry’s Bar & Restaurant will no longer be operating in 2025,” a statement on social media said.
“We would like to thank the community and all of our customers who have supported us over the last four years.
“We are grateful for your loyalty and patronage, and we are proud of what we were able to build, especially in the difficult times during the pandemic.”
The restaurant closed before Christmas and was up for lease, but management only confirmed the permanent shuttering in the last 24 hours.
Its website is already offline.
The restaurant is located at an iconic Henry Street location – an old Methodist Church that for many years housed King Henry’s Court.
The closure of Henry’s Bar and Restaurant follows a string of hospitality closures in Penrith in 2024.
