Grand opening of new Fall River Liberal Club restaurant to take place next week

With Bens Foods retiring and serving their last meal at the Liberal Club in Fall River in June after over 50 years, their replacement has been announced and will soon have their grand opening.

Since late June, Victor and Judy Gomes of Vic’s Harborside have hit the ground running getting the spot ready and their team together to bring quality food to customers.

Victor stated in June that “change is never easy, and whatever combination of past and new employees will be there for opening day, rest assured we will have the customer’s best interests at heart as has always been the case for Judy and me. We’ve done this for a little bit, and I think we are up to the task.”

Fall River Reporter asked Victor what type of menu customers should expect.

“We will keep the current menu, and we will do our best to emulate what the Benevides did so well for so many years.”

The Gomes’ are coming in with years of experience as they currently operate the kitchen at the Newport Elks, which they call Vics on Bellevue.

The Liberal Club announced on Friday that the grand opening will take place 11:00 a.m.-10:00 p.m. on Wednesday August 19th with the pub menu slated for 8:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m.

The full business hours and menu are expected to be released soon.
