Dear Big Ugly Fish customers and the Saginaw community,

Over the past couple of months there has been information circulating about the closure of the bar. Is there a possibility that we may have to close the bar? Yes.

Please know that we are doing everything possible to remain open in our current location. If we can't remain in our current location, we are looking at several other options.

We do not want to close as we love our customers and the City of Saginaw!
We will continue to provide updates throughout this process so please don't give up on us yet!!
