Chip’s Clubhouse on Snelling Avenue abruptly closes
Chip’s Clubhouse on Snelling Avenue has quietly closed.
Former co-owner Tara Coleman, who still owns Hot Hands Pie and Biscuit next door, said there was a sign on the door Thursday morning announcing the closure.
Coleman and former co-owner Gina Mangiameli, who is now the head of Surdyk’s prep kitchen, quietly sold the business in February of 2024 to chef Nik Donaker.
Attempts to reach Donaker have been unsuccessful, but the decision must have been sudden, as the business website is still up and appears to be taking orders, and there’s no sign of the closure on the restaurant’s social media pages.
Chip’s was known for its excellent double-smash burger; creative cocktails, originally crafted by barman Tim O’Leary; and a frequently changing menu of comfort foods.
