Update 6:17 p.m.: Ballard Ave Pub may not be closed for good, after all.

A worker next door at the Buffalo Exchange said she ran into someone working inside the Ballard Ave Pub while taking out the trash.

He told her that the pub was only closed for renovations and that they were going to change the "whole vibe."

She did not know when renovations will be done, or when the pub will open again.

(Editor's note: This is unconfirmed information. Will update when it has been confirmed.)

Ballard Ave Pub closed unexpectedly over the weekend, MyBallard reported. The pub opened Jan. 2011 and served only local beers.

Last July, the Seattle and King County Public Health Department closed the bar temporarily for not having a valid permit. That does not appear to be the case this time around. The restaurant is not on the list of places closed due to health reasons.

More updates as they come.
