The owners of Five Points favorite Derby On Park announced Wednesday they plan to close the restaurant by the end of the year. Owners Dwayne Beliakoff and Jonathan Cobbs said through a statement that they will introduce a new concept in early 2019. Derby On Park, at 1068 Park St., will close Sunday. “We extend our deepest gratitude to our employees, guests and the Five Points community who have shown so much support for our team and Derby On Park throughout its history,” said Beliakoff. The group did not say what the new concept would be or provide a reopening date for the more than 3,000-square-foot space. They did not cite a specific reason, other than to say they wanted to introduce “new flavors and dining options” to the busy Five Points area of Riverside. SEE DERBY ON PARK, PAGE 2
