Only one year after opening, it looks as if the Five Guys at 1 Flatbush Avenue has closed. The business phone number is also out of service. Just last month the other Flatbush Avenue location, off Park Place, shuttered. Here’s Park Slope wondered if the reason for its closure could be an “arena-geared presumed clientele that never materialized,” which may also be the case at this location. This Five Guys was working with the Department of Transportation to bring a public plaza to this space with outdoor seating, but nothing’s happened in that regard yet.

  1. Whenever I passed the Court St. Five Guys, it was usually empty. No surprise when it closed. Same story with the Flatbush Five Guys. The couple of times I went to the 7th Ave. location, it was pretty busy (perhaps thanks to the Methodist hospital, where I was born, across the street). I live a few blocks away from the Montague St. Five Guys location and it does fairly well during the lunch period, like most eateries on Montague, but not so well during the evening. I think the limited seating and 2nd floor location hurts it.
