Southern-style BBQ concept Beards & Bellies will leave The Well, located at 8 W. 7th St in Covington, at the end of January.
Beards & Bellies founder Mitch Arens said in a press release that the BBQ concept’s lease is set to expire Jan. 31. Instead of shutting down, Arens decided to pause operations in hopes of finding a new location.
“This isn’t the end of Beards & Bellies,” founder Mitch Arens said in the release. “It’s a moment to take a breath, reflect on what we’ve built, and make sure the next space we land in truly feels like home for us and for the people who’ve supported us from the start.”
Beards & Bellies relocated to The Well in January 2025, after previously operating out of Wooden Cask Brewing in Newport.
“We’re incredibly grateful for our time at The Well,” Arens said. “That space gave us the chance to grow, experiment, and connect with an amazing community. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner during this chapter.”
