Union Jack’s had been in Rio for six years, the restaurant wrote in the post.

The Gaithersburg location was the last in Montgomery County. Union Jack’s previously had a restaurant in Bethesda’s Woodmont Triangle, but it closed in February 2016.

There are locations in Columbia and Annapolis, according to the chain’s website.
