Voodoo Brewery (2279 Lee Rd., 216-331-6775), the Cleveland Heights location of the Meadville, Pennsylvania-based brewery, will close after service this Saturday, December 20th. Don Trivisonno and Cathy Zalocki opened the franchise in late 2019, just months prior to the arrival of Covid.

“It is with a very heavy heart, that I write this on behalf of Cathy and I,” Trivisonno announced. “After six years, seven if you count our year of buildout, Voodoo Brewing Co. Cleveland Heights will be closing our doors. Our last day will be Saturday, December 20th.

“This has always been a labor of love for Cathy and I. This was a hard decision for us. We have been blessed to be part of an awesome community of businesses and people. We have actually poured blood, sweat, and tears into this business. We had the best of times, and the worst (Covid anyone) of times. But above all the businesses in Cedar Lee & our community of patrons were always there… and we thank you! You guys made it all worthwhile. We have made amazing FRIENDS, that we hope to be lifelong, and have receive so much joy working with our local businesses and serving our friends.

“Thank you to ALL of our amazing staff over the years. Thank you to the local businesses that welcomed us with open arms. Thank you to our friends that entrusted us to serve you over the years. YOU are the reason we did this, and we will miss serving you.”
