1934 - Bouquet Canyon Reservoir, replacement for ill-fated St. Francis Dam & reservoir, begins to fill with water [story]
Bouquet Reservoir


elephant-bar-restaurant-valencia-close-thursday-after-13-years-4[KHTS] – After nearly 13 years in the Santa Clarita Valley, the Elephant Bar Restaurant on McBean Parkway will close Thursday because there is “not enough traffic to sustain the business,” a spokeswoman for the company confirmed Monday.

The restaurant, which serves a wide range of cocktails, American fare and Asian fusion dishes, has 66 employees.

“We’re doing our best to accommodate the (employees) who’ve expressed interest in working in another one of our restaurants,” said Leslie Liberatore, spokeswoman for Elephant Bar.

Employees at the Valencia location were only given four days notice that the store was closing, said a waitress who would not give her name for fear of retribution.

Other local Elephant Bar restaurants in Burbank, Northridge and Simi Valley are also closing, Liberatore said.

These are among several closures across the country, according the the Elephant Bar Facebook page. Page administrators confirmed that locations in Stockton, Modesto and Rancho Bernardo would be closing.

For more information about the Valencia location or to visit them before they close, call 661-799-8640.

    • I AGREE WITH YOU 100%….we were talking to our waitress and she just got told yesterday she is getting laid off and she just graduated college and has tons of bills to pay, and now has no job to pay it. :( I really wish the employees well…went there today and they all had such a great attitude even though they knew what was coming in the next few days.

    • I agree with you as well. My sister is a host there and just had a newborn baby she has to support. It’s terrible to see people so excited about the fear and pain of others.

    I suspect this is probably related to the high prices and poor quality of the food…

    I think we should find another huge chain that serves boring food, in enormous portions, that is overpriced, has a contrived atmosphere, but will be a steady and certain source of rental income for years to come.

  100. Chris Perez Chris Perez says:

    They should put in a Sonic

  101. That’s cuz they raised their prices and drastically lowered their food quality. That place was good when I was a kid, but it totally sucks now. I second replacing it with a Cheescake Factory!

  102. Cheese cake factory!!!

  103. LOL….not enough traffic? that place is packed! Not enough traffic for their poor business model maybe.

  104. Won’t miss it. Cheese factory!

  105. Was always crowded when I went!!!!

  110. Cheesecake Factory or Tony Roma’s!!!!!

  111. That place is garbage anyways…lol

  112. We had a Tony Roma’s where Mimi’s is now, it failed miserably. Bring a Portos, way too small for a Cheesecake Factory.

  113. Hopefully cheesecake will come!!!!!!!

  114. Bummer to see it go I still remember opening day. Thank U for 13 years

  115. Did anyone else also notice the article says they will help the employees find other jobs at their other restaurants, yet all the other local ones which is Simi, Northridge and Burbank are ALSO closing! Contradicts the help part as no employee will want to drive further!

  116. Duane Rice Duane Rice says:

    They are closing ours in Ft Myers citing the exact same reason.

  117. Mil Ng Mil Ng says:

    Only good thing there was the chicken fingers. Good riddance.

  118. Was just there Wednesday with my son Eric. .,.we love it….and yes, it was always crowded…….very sad. Olive garden here we come.

  119. Our family celebrated birthdays, great report cards, and graduations at that location. We’ve always had great service, and any food issues were handled with grace. Our best wishes to the employees that are shouldering the toughest loss.

  120. Will Davison Will Davison says:

    Hooters hooters hooters

  121. I think it’s gonna be a midget wrestling bar soon..

  122. Chef Deezel Chef Deezel says:

    PEOPLE that unit is TOO SMALL for a Cheesecake Factory!!! Those places AVERAGE 15,000sq ft. If Valencia’s demographic won’t support an E Bar or a Bristol Farms WHY would Cheesecake come here?

  123. I remember when onions were grown there and it didn’t take an hour to get from Saugus to Valencia.

  124. Mini Marie Mini Marie says:

    ^onions and pumpkins where Central Park is I miss that smell

  125. Please cheesecake!! Or Portos!

    This is so sad but the comments remind me of a famous quote “Wanna make $17 dollars, the hard way?” By Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack. Time to get back to college. Cheese Cake Factory or The Old Spaghetti Factory!

  143. Lower your prices, this place is way too “EXPEN$IVE” for what it is.

  144. Ate at this one once. Food wasn’t very good and the service was pretty bad. The elephant bar in Burbank is much better.

  145. Food wasn’t good. Drinks were weak.

  146. Bring back SHAKEYS pizza !!!!!

  162. Jerson Morales we are not gonna be able to use our gift card!

  163. Ed Rogers Ed Rogers says:

    Went once. Wasn’t worth what I paid. Insert grumpy cat meme here.

  164. After getting food poisoning there, I’m not sad to see it go.

  172. That’s to bad love that place

  173. Dave Wilke Dave Wilke says:

    Because it sucks

  174. Zita Flores Zita Flores says:

  176. Nooooooooo! it’s the closest watering hole within walking distance from the office at lunch!

  177. Laura Conant Laura Conant says:

    Staff don’t even care they are closing down. You will wait another 2 hrs to get an appetizer

  178. You gotz one at the Beach? We got one here!

  179. Karina Sanchez Gonzalez whack!!!!!!

  180. Can I have the ceiling fans out of there? :)

  181. What are they gonna do with all the Elephants?

  182. Chris Cruz is this true?

  183. Karen Ehrlich-Christie says:

    Oh no! We always went there for special occasions, family from out of town always wanted to go there. Weren’t always happy when they took our favorite items off the menu and what replaced them but the food and service always was good. Probably lost traffic to the new restaurants in the mall. Oh, SCV, you fickle foodies.

  184. Terrible service! Over rated and menu not that great, live down the street went there 4 times in 10 years

  185. Come on Cheesecske Factory!

  186. Very Surprised. They always seemed busy to me.

  187. Jill Needs Jill Needs says:

    I am very surprised. I always have a wait for a table. I will be sorry for it to go.

  188. At least 3 of the 40 elephant bars are closing this month! I wish cheesecake factory but like a few have mentioned it would have to be totally redesigned for it to have the cheesecake factory feel. I think it could be a PF Changs or Famous Dave’s! Too bad for all the employees they screwed over by not even giving a 2 week notice.

  189. Great… Just got a 50 dollar gift card for that place as a gift. :-(

  190. Tina Marie Tina Marie says:

    actually its closed as of tonight so you shouldn’t even go there

  191. Vicki Nikola Vicki Nikola says:

    I always had great service loved happy hr. Replacing everything with pricey places like what r downtown Sorry for the workers

  192. It’s terrible how people can rejoice in such a fearful situation for others. Hundreds of employees are losing their jobs and all people can do is say ‘Yay!’ Sickening.

  193. For those of you who have gift cards,you have until Thursday to use them…Thursday is the closing day!!

  194. Daniel says:

    Now that the elephant bar is closed, I’m hoping there’s a cheese cake factory coming?

  195. Yard House PLEASE!! :) And then Bring Back Bob’s Big Boy while you’re at it SCV (on the old road where Hamburger Hamlet was… good fwy & Magic Mountain traffic there!)

  196. The Yard House PLEASE! :) And then Bring Back Bob’s Big Boy while you’re at it SCV (on the old road where Hamburger Hamlet was… good fwy & Magic Mountain traffic there!) :)

  198. Nichole goltz says:

    I am a waitress there myself. Everyone there at the elephant bar is like a family together. It’s our second home and they are taking it away from us. They are not helping with transfers as there is nowhere to transfer to. All of our regulars, our wonderful managers, the team in general all gone!. We have lives also, kids, bills, to all of you who say service sucked. We always have done what we could to make it the best. Yes, people make mistakes. Can’t judge a whole chain of restaurants on that!. The food sucking I have been there just under a year and we have had new items coming out a few times. Just once doesn’t cut it for a restaurant. I have had my guests say nothing but the best. Not only valencia but 15 other locations are gone also.all of us are upset and sad this is has to happen. So many people out of jobs.

  206. Kat Coleman Kat Coleman says:

    I met a very dear friend of 10 years Steve Graham this was a grate place to network. Will be missed

  207. I would like to see something that isn’t a chain. Give smaller business a try.

  208. Trudy Olins Trudy Olins says:

    I have heard Valencia has a cost for many businesses which makes it difficult to survive here. I don’t know if is true but we have many empty venues here. This place was always packed.

  209. THIS IS TRUE THE CITY DOES HAVE THIS COST WHICH IS PASSED ON TO THE BUSINESS AND IN TURN TO THE CUSTOMER CLAIM JUMPER AND OTHER LIKE RESTAURANTS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM

  210. Wally Purdy Wally Purdy says:

    Very sad, but their food quality had gone downhill pretty significantly in recent months.

  211. Tyler Drake Tyler Drake says:

    They should put a Texas Roadhouse

  212. Gross food. Thank goodness.

  213. Good. I never cared for the food at this place

  214. Paula Garner Paula Garner says:

    Oh no! I love their food

  215. kathy says:

    Awesome town, I think not. This article has had the most comments of any article I have read from SCVtv. I guess it shows just what our priorities are here in so-called awesome town. People can’t wait for the next best thing to open up. Here’s a thought maybe that building will be sitting empty for years to come like oh lets say the building that used to house Applebee’s.

  216. More business for Backwoods Inn!

  217. I feel bad for the employees losing their jobs. But that restaurant stinks!

  218. Kim Stephens Kim Stephens says:

    Whoa, seriously? Any night I’ve been there it’s always a 15-20 minute wait!

  219. Rosie Solano Rosie Solano says:

    That sucks and the one in Northridge just opened not that long ago

  220. Agree with Zita Flores, lots of memories there, had fun having drinks on the patio, feel sorry for the workers but have to agree with most of the comments about the food bring total crap

  221. Agree with Zita Flores, lots of memories there, had fun having drinks on the patio, feel sorry for the workers but have to agree with most of the comments about the food bring total crap

  222. Aaahhhh sad, Jenny its like a little but of history disappearing, still, onwards and upwards, there’s a new elephant bar out there waiting for us to find it x

  223. Aaahhhh sad, Jenny its like a little but of history disappearing, still, onwards and upwards, there’s a new elephant bar out there waiting for us to find it x

    Food sucked who cares

  225. Nick Ehlen Nick Ehlen says:

    Food sucked who cares

  226. Jeff Gardner Jeff Gardner says:

    This is so sad to see a good restaurant close down in our community.. Go out to eat people…

  227. A “good” restaurant? It’s just another typical valencia chain restaurant. The food sucked. Sad for the employees losing jobs. But I’d like to see some real restaurants open instead

  228. Ha! Good call Brandon Meijer doesn’t surprise me.

  229. I love the Elephant Bar ,were there last week.

  230. Kelsey Davis Kelsey Davis says:

    Cheesecake factory!

  231. I'm batman says:

    I’m batman. And this place is closed today. Rawrrrrrr

  232. Did you all see the comments on the official EB page about Valencia’s location? Apparently last night a lot of people went to pay a last visit to the restaurant. Higher up management came in and basically kicked people out. Called the cops and kicked the employees out too stating they “owed” EB? So ultimately closed last night vs Thursday now.

    What.a.mess.

  233. No big lose. The place is over priced the drinks and food are weak.
    I don’t feel so screwed going to a little dump like the Habit.

  234. Nichole goltz says:

    We actually closed today we did the same thing today had to refuse people of service. It was horrible. Cops were called today on employees. It was a mess.. so as of today elephant bar valencia is shut down for good.

  235. No big lose. The place is over priced.
    The food and drinks are weaks.
    I dont feel so bad going to a little dump like the Habit.
