The Raven Irish Pub (3900 Shelbyville Road) first opened in 2009 as Molly Malone’s (in St. Matthews) and rebranded in 2020. It will close at the end of May.

The text:

We are saddened to announce that we have decided not to renew our lease at The Raven, the last day will be May 31st. We have poured our blood, sweat and tears into our beloved pub, but have decided to turn our energy toward the family and give them the much needed time that they deserve. We cannot thank our staff, musicians, friends and family enough for the love and support you have given over the years. We will celebrate the memories, friendships and this new chapter in our lives over the next nine days, and hope to see you at The Raven one last time.

During the changeover in 2020, we took a look.

Quoth The Raven: “Nevermore” … will this St. Matthews pub be Molly Malone’s
