The Charlie Horse, a West Bridgewater mainstay that drew national music acts for a quarter-century, has closed its doors.

The institution, which hosted the likes of Lonestar, Dustin Lynch, and the Eli Young Band, had been struggling with finances and could not afford to continue operating, according to owner Mary Barrett-Costello, whose father founded the Charlie Horse restaurant.

“It’s been a tumultuous few years, and we’ve been doing everything we can to right this ship, but we haven’t been able to,’’ Barrett-Costello said. “We have been here for 25 years and we’ve been very proud of our facility.’’

Carey Barrett-Allan, who co-owns the restaurant with her sister, said the venue and sports bar had a country night every Thursday and tried to bring in a well-known country artist every quarter.

West Bridgewater Town Administrator David Gagne said he used to frequent the establishment, which has been an important part of the community for years.

“They’re not just a restaurant, they’re a brand,’’ Gagne said. “As busy as they are, we’ve had very few problems so we’re sad to see them go. They’ve been a fixture in town for some time.’’

Barrett-Costello said the family business is “done in this location, but not done.’’

All employees of the Charlie Horse have been offered positions at other restaurants owned by the family, Barrett-Costello said. The family also owns a Charlie Horse location in Kingston, the Abington Ale House & Grille, Plymouth Bay Catering, The Tirell Room,, and Jones River Trading.

“It’s been very rewarding to see the outpouring of good wishes from customers who have been coming here for 25 years. West Bridgewater has been a great town to do business in,’’ Barrett-Costello said. “Our intent for our business is to make our company stronger and move on with the future.’’

Barrett-Costello said they decided Thursday to close the restaurant. She added that despite an increase in the daytime food business, the restaurant has had difficulty keeping up its late-night trade.

“If we don’t have everything running in the right direction, it’s hard to stay successful,’’ Barrett-Costello said.

Barrett-Costello said employees and customers were notified on Monday that Sunday night was the restaurant’s last night of business.
