You won’t find it open for breakfast- and the COVID curtailment of some of the hours of operation are giving staff a breather, but The Prior Sports Bar and Restaurant on Winners Circle Drive remains one of the most popular gathering places in the community.
It’s hard to believe it’s been three decades.
That’s co-proprietor Erica Nicholson who says the pride of ownership was also a lesson in on-the-job training.
Erica says once you’ve worked at The Prior, it’s hard to leave.
Local patrons love The Prior, because its table sizes are custom-made.
Nicholson says getting traffic off the highway is one thing and visiting within the community, another; but the Prior’s mainstays are the regulars.
Erica says one of the lessons of COVID is the seven day week leaves no time to recharge- so The Prior is now closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
