A Lark Lane venue is currently closed, but the restaurant's Facebook page has assured it's only temporary.
Monkey Grinder, which opened on the lane in south Liverpool in 2017, has stood empty in recent days and is listed as ‘permanently closed’ on Google, prompting fears it had shut for good.
But after contacting the restaurant via its Faecbook page, the Echo received a reply from the page saying: “Monkey Grinder is currently closed for a refurbishment, what with January being a quiet month. We are due to re-open next month.”
