Burgers come and burgers go.

The Raleigh location of a popular Eastern North Carolina burger bar quickly closed this week after a short-lived stint on Hillsborough Street.

Barley & Burger closed for good this week after only three months in business. The burger joint had taken over one of Hillsborough Street’s most storied buildings, moving into the former Daryl’s restaurant. For 15 years, the space had most recently been David’s Dumplings.

Founded in Rocky Mount, Barley & Burger is owned by Brandon Clarke, Travis Ellis and novelist Etaf Rum. It also has locations in Smithfield and Charlotte. Barley & Burger also previously had a location in Selma’s Old North State Food Hall.

Landlord Tommy Carter confirmed the closing in a phone interview, saying the owners told him two weeks ago about their plans and handed back the space on Tuesday. By Wednesday a For Rent sign hung in the window.

The news of Barley & Burger’s Raleigh closing was first reported by Triangle Business Journal.

Barley & Burger had only opened on Hillsborough Street in late November, moving into a historic block for Raleigh restaurants. Daryl’s was a beloved theme restaurant in Raleigh known for excessive decor and an infamous jail cell table.

Also on the same block is the legendary sports bar Players Retreat, which recently celebrated 75 years and happens to serve one of the city’s more popular burgers.

The owners did not respond to multiple requests for comment on the closing.

While Barley & Burger had changed signage and posted its menus on the windows, the David’s Dumplings sign remains on the Hillsborough Street side of the restaurant. Inside, ketchup and straws remained untouched on the tables.
