According to their Facebook page and a sign posted on their front door earlier today, Main Street Cafe, 217 E. Main St., has shuttered its doors effective immediately. 

Former Main Street Café manager, Len Stevens, reported on LouisvilleHotbytes.com, “The owners of The Ice House building decided to focus their financial resources on the new apartments that they are building,” he added, “the Cafe has been a financial struggle since it’s opening.”

However, the catering arm of the business, Crushed Ice events, will remain operational.

We at Food & Dining have enjoyed many a good lunch at the downtown cafe and are saddened to hear about this closure.
