A staple of the Burlington waterfront that’s been in operation for thirty years is shutting down for good.

Sports bar Emma’s Back Porch had already stopped doing take-out due to a decrease in customers during the COVID-19 pandemic, but now the restaurant says, “Circumstances have prevailed and we cannot move forward.”

A post on its Facebook page reads, “The last 30 years have been truly the best. So many memories, friendships, and occasions to be celebrated, too many to count. We sincerely appreciate that you have celebrated all of these moments with us.”

The announcement has generated thousands of comments and shares online, as customers lament the loss and share memories with others.
