Another downtown Calgary restaurant is citing the economic downturn as the reason for its pending closure.

Friday, Nov. 17 will be the last night to dine at Stephen Avenue’s Catch & The Oyster Bar.

“While we’re extremely proud of what this establishment has meant to Calgarians and the careers of many, it’s definitely bittersweet that the economic downturn made it unsustainable to continue,” reads a post on the restaurant’s Facebook page.

The west-coast style restaurant was a popular after-work spot for residents.
