The bar has been temporarily closed since August 1 this year, but with no clear prospect of reopening, it has been decided that it will close permanently.

↑ The adjoining baby castella specialty shop 芦屋べびか, which continued operating while City Lights was closed, will temporarily end operations at its current location on Friday, October 27, and plans to reopen at a different location in Ashiya.

The address is ALPA Ashiya Building 2, Unit 110, 1-20 Matsunouchicho, Ashiya, Hyogo.

In Closing
We had hoped it would reopen after its temporary closure, so it’s disappointing to hear that it has had to close permanently… 芦屋べびか is reportedly planning to reopen at a new location, so we’ll be keeping an eye on its Instagram for news about the new shop.
