Killian's Pub to close its doors at Torrance location By Muhammed, El-Hasan, Staff WriterKillian's Pub and Grill in Torrance will shutter its doors tonight, ending four years of selling corned beef and beer at its current location.
The Irish pub, located at 2533 Pacific Coast Highway in Rolling Hills Plaza, failed to secure a lease renewal with its landlord, Killian's manager Tad Dexter said.
The management company that owns the restaurant hopes to reopen by August in a location about half the size of the current site, said Rob MacDonald, a consultant for the restaurant who is married to one of the owners.
