Breaded tenderloin fans will be forced to find a new haunt after Acme Bar closes its doors for the last time this weekend.

The 68-year-old bar and grill, 1105 E. State Blvd., will close at 1 a.m. Sunday. Traffic has declined at the restaurant and attached liquor store, and Acme isn't profitable anymore, owner Mike Tapp said.
