In a Facebook announcement Monday night, Potter's Pub told patrons they would be shutting down the East Meadow bar and eatery Saturday.
The post read:
We're not happy campers :-( After 41 years of serving the East Meadow community we will be turning our lights off forever on Sat night. We want to thank everyone who has always supported us. We will sadly miss you all. Thanks for our 23 years.
Potters cited "the economy" as the reason for the closure.
"...can't keep going," they wrote in a follow up Facebook post.
The pub staff will be in attendance Saturday night for one last hurrah.
Potter's is located at 2045 Hempstead Turnpike. It has served as a neighborhood bar, restaurant and all-around hangout spot since 1972. Mike Amitrano took over as owner in 1990.

Natalie. I am so sorry to read this. I too have a little 5 yr. old dog who I love desperately...…Read More and I feel your pain. There is another website for an organization that does an amazing job finding lost pets. It's LOSTMYDOGGIE.COM There is a small fee, but they get signs up all over the area and have a phone system set up where everyone in the area of where she was lost gets a PHONE CALL ALERT message to watch for Molly. They leave a phone number and their website address so if anyone has seen her or has her they know where to call. Great system! Check it out! I've never used them, but I HAVE received calls myself recently on 2 separate lost dogs and I've seen the many photos they hung up in my area in Levittown for dogs lost within a few miles of this area. In other words, they DO what they say they will do to help find Molly. Just want you to know what is out there to help you bring Molly home. My grandkids go to school around Grand and Camp Ave. We'll be watching for her! God Bless and good luck! I'm sure she will be returned to you real soon!!
