Public School 805 at The Promenade at Westlake to Close Its Doors on June 17, 2018

Public School Closing 2018.jpg

As the flyer above indicates, "School is Out" at Public School 805 Restaurant and Bar at close of business on Father's Day 2018 - June 17th. 

Coincidentally (or maybe not), Public School 805 opened its doors exactly five years ago to the day, on June 17, 2013.

Sorry to see PS 805 go but its sister eatery next door, The Grill on the Alley, remains open.

In other news, Shake Shack is hiring for managers for Shake Shack Thousand Oaks and the address given in the craigslist ad is 120 Promenade Way. One could possibly surmise that the soon to be former Public School 805 will become a Shake Shack in the near future but official confirmation of this possibility has not been received as of yet. We shall see...

Friend of CVG Joli C-J pointed out via the CVG Facebook Page that Mariscos Cancun Seafood Grill in the North Oaks Plaza, 1074 E. Avenida De Los Arboles in Thousand Oaks, has closed its doors. Mariscos was a favorite of many locals for years - at least 20 as I personally recall. Sorry to see it go.
