Downtown bar and kitchen shuts down after lease goes unrenewed

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- A Downtown bar and kitchen that's been in Columbus since 2016 has closed its doors after its lease went unrenewed.

Hadley's Bar and Kitchen on the corner of South 4th and East Cherry streets recently shut down after eight years. The closure was confirmed by Crafted for You -- the group behind the restaurant -- with the company citing the end of its lease.

"The building's ownership has received offers to purchase the building and the parking lot that they are currently reviewing," said James Ball, director of operations. "Unfortunately, those offers have different plans for the retail space."

With the lease approaching its end, the company chose to put up the shutters so it could transition its staff to other locations. Grandview Cafe is among the other locations operated by Crafted for You.

The restaurant served bar food like burgers and wings, brunch such as chicken biscuits and doughnut French toast with candied bacon, craft beers, and more.
