Schmankerl Stub'n has taken over the space left vacant by Neon Beach at 131 N. Orange Ave. #104, which closed in May 2023. Signs posted outside the restaurant at the time of its closure cited lease issues, but did not announce its closure on social media.

"Whether you're joining us for a special occasion or simply seeking a memorable meal, we can't wait to welcome you to Schmankerl Stub'n," the restaurant continued. "Save the date and reserve your table now to taste the extraordinary! See you soon!"
