KAMLOOPS – It's the end of an era for a well-known sports bar and grill in the city's North Shore.

The Dirty Jersey located on 8 Street will close their doors this upcoming October. According to the bar's Facebook page, the bar opened in November 2006 and was a popular spot for live music and sports events.

The bar's owner Lance Lestander confirmed today, July 26, the bar would be shutting their doors.
