This was just posted on the Black Duck’s Facebook page!
We are beyond pleased to announce that after many days of discussions with our creditors, landlord, and investors, the Duck has been able to secure a financial package which will allow us to continue operations (hopefully for the next 40 years!).
The outpouring of support from our loyal patrons over the past few days has been deeply moving and gratifying, and we sincerely thank you. Like Phoenix, the Duck has risen from the ashes!
To celebrate, please join us this Sunday (November 4), for all day happy hour prices.

Nothing like getting good news on Friday!!!
Best news I’ve heard in a long time!
very good news. that said, I’m thinking my reaction to the announced closure was like seeing a band leave the stage and assuming there was no encore.
Awesome news .Too often people complain about Westport but when the chips are down we do something .When my late mother turned 90 the only thing she wanted to do was to go eat a hamburger at the Black Duck.It was quite a challenge getting her in and out but her delight was worth it.The picture I took says it all.Long live the 🦆
Great!! The best response – go down there and eat and drink. Encourage your friends to do the same. Support the Duck.
