NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The restaurant 413 Bistro is closing this month after three years in the downtown. 
 
The eatery, owned by the Brassards, opened in what was then the Holiday Inn, replacing the defunct Richmond Grill. The restaurant had been signed on by the previous hotel owners shortly before it was sold to NA Hotel LLC, operated by Peregrine Group, and renamed Hotel Downstreet.
 
413 Bistro announced its closure as of Sunday, Nov. 24, on its Facebook page on Friday. 
 
"This decision was not one we wanted to have to make and we want to express our deepest gratitude to all those who have supported us over the past 6 years in our various locations!" the post read. 
 
The bistro said it will continue to offer catering services for parties and events and will fill all preordered Thanksgiving takeout on Nov. 27. It has posted its takeout menu on Facebook for cooked turkey and a range of sides made for four people. 
 
The restaurant had initially opened in Williamstown as Berkshire Palate in 2018; about the same time it shifted to North Adams, it opened another eatery in Hotel on North in Pittsfield, which closed some time ago.
