Popular hangout spot at MovieTowne Mall, Kosmos Grill and Lounge will be closing its doors at the East Coast Demerara location this month, the management announced on Monday.
This move was announced in a statement, “It is with deep sadness that we inform you that December is our last month at MovieTowne Guyana. KOSMOS represented not just a significant financial investment but an emotional one as well. Unfortunately, it was – we believe – an investment that MovieTowne Guyana’s management has not given due consideration to, despite KOSMOS being one of their flagship clients.”
This decision came about amid the mall’s latest investment, which KOSMOS said negatively impacted its business. Both parties failed to arrive at a consensus where they could coexist and operate.

“What was already a difficult relationship was exacerbated with the construction of the mall’s latest venture, one that has directly negatively impacted our business for months. All reasonable attempts to come to a resolution with management have been met with indifference, and so we have been forced to close our doors.”
The bar’s management has indicated that there are no immediate plans to open at another location.
“We want to, once again, express tremendous gratitude for your time with us – through a global pandemic; through heightened political tension; and, most impactful of all, the untimely and tragic passing of our co-founder, Dillon DeRamos. Because of you, KOSMOS, in its relatively short time in operation, became a household name in Guyana, and a completely homemade success story,” the statement ended.
