Johnson Creek Tavern, a restaurant and bar on Harbor Island that is known for the hundreds of dollar bills covering its walls, will be closed until further notice due to a small fire, according to a post made to the restaurant’s Facebook page on Wednesday, Feb. 28, 2024.
The restaurant’s owner was not immediately available for comment, but a woman who answered the phone at the location told The Island News that the restaurant would likely be closed “a few days.”
The post was not specific about the cause or extent of the damage caused by the fire, but the post does say that there were no injuries.
