Eddie’s Bar Now Shut To Public

"Thank you for calling Eddie's Bar and Grill. Eddie's is no longer open for service. We greatly appreciate your patronage and support of the restaurant. Thank you again for calling. Goodbye." That's the phone message you get when calling the previously public restaurant that sits on Arrow Point. On Monday the staff was preparing the restaurant for a Friday opening, but it's now open to Gozzer Ranch members only. "When we purchased that property it was always in the long-term business plan to keep that as a private lake club for our members," said Carol Taylor, director of marketing for Discovery Land Company, which developed Gozzer Ranch. "We really kept it open to the public as long as we could," she added. "But what it really comes down to is a capacity issue"/Jeff Selle, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.

Question: Any Eddie's Bar patrons out there who lament this decision to close the tavern to all but Gozzer Ranch residents?
