Rockstar, the company best-known for the Grand Theft Auto (GTA) series, recently opened its own fast food restaurant in the United Kingdom - a real-life version of the in-game fast food chain, Cluckin’ Bell. Unfortunately for GTA fans, the restaurant’s time has come to an end, as Rockstar has announced it is closing its doors.
Rockstar first announced the Cluckin’ Bell restaurant back in April 2018 after years of speculation from fans of the GTA series. The restaurant, located in London’s Soho neighborhood, served several GTA-inspired dishes, such as Cluckin’ Larder Burgers, Dillo Dogs and BAWSAss Burgers.
The restaurant opened to a mostly positive critical response, with fans praising the attention to detail and enthusiasm from the employees. It quickly became a popular stop for GTA fans, and some even made the pilgrimage to London just to visit the restaurant.
However, after just over one year in business, Rockstar has decided to close the restaurant. The company made the announcement on social media, stating that the restaurant was ”an experiment [they] were fortunate enough to be able to try” and thanking everyone for their support.
Though the news was disappointing for fans, Rockstar has not ruled out the possibility of bringing Cluckin’ Bell back in some form. Until then, fans will have to content themselves with playing GTA to get their Cluckin’ Bell fix.
