PENDLETON — Crabby's Underground Saloon & Dance Hall, one of Pendleton's long-operating water holes, has closed for good.
The building's owner, Vicky Pearce, doing business as Pendleton Historical Real Estate LLC, said she has found a new tenant but has yet to reveal the identity.
A combination of factors contributed to the closure. Kyle Martinez of Pendleton bought Crabby's in 2015 from Ed Fairbank, who had owned it since 1991.
The business survived the pandemic, but a winter flood finished it off, Pearce said. It took her a long time to find contractors to repair the damage.
"Oregon was tough on businesses during the pandemic," said Pearce, also the owner of Antiques and Art on Main in Pendeton.
The new tenant's business model is slated to resemble Crabby's, maintenance worker Jerry Fulleylove of Pendleton said.
