Foxwoods Resort Casino announced on Friday the permanent closures of a popular restaurant and nightclub that have both been welcoming guests for nearly 20 years.

Shrine Nightclub and Red Lantern have closed their doors for good, a casino spokesperson said in a statement shared with Boston 25 News.

The closures mark the beginning of a “new era” for the largest resort casino in the Northeast, according to the spokesperson.

“Foxwoods is entering a new era of nightlife, and while we close the chapter on Shrine Nightclub, what lies ahead promises to raise the bar higher than ever,” the statement read. “A first-of-its-kind venue in the Northeast is on the horizon, with additional exciting updates to be revealed in the coming months.”
