February 6, 20223 yr Sad. Feel like there aren’t to many fine dining experiences in otr left. Still boggles my mind how thunderdome can continuously pump out successful restaurant concept after successful restaurant concept in otr yet to so many others continuously fail. Hopefully the economy improves soon, and 3cdc can finally get tenants. I know the pandemic and inflation has taken a toll but you would think regardless that places like the old 16 bit spot or the old elm and iron spot would have some type of tenant by now…

February 11, 20223 yr Another otr restaurant is shutting down…boom box buns the latest restaurant to shut down. So many restaurants closing.
February 11, 20223 yr While I hate to see any small business fail its important to remember that restaurants are one of the riskiest businesses to be in. They close all the time and most don't make it more than a couple years. Restaurants close all the time in New York / Chicago / SF - and locally they close in Hyde Park / Anderson / Mason etc... I would not use that as a barometer for the success of a neighborhood.

February 11, 20223 yr 14 hours ago, Troeros2 said: Another otr restaurant is shutting down…boom box buns the latest restaurant to shut down. That location is kind of cursed. Picnic & Pantry, Injoy, and Boombox have all failed there and I think it's because it's just big enough to have a high rent but not big enough to actually have meaningful interior seating. Depending strictly on takeaway business is one thing, but it has a weird layout that means the rent is paying for a couple hundred square feet of space that really isn't utilized. Clearly the intersection isn't bad, as Salazar and Low Spark have been successful throughout all those restaurants closing, that spot is just weird and will require a really popular takeout space only similar to City Bird. Personally I think OTR needs a cheapish, lunch focused sandwich spot every since Panino closed and that would be a great spot.
February 11, 20223 yr I think Boom Box had a couple of problems. 1) Covid really hurt some of the biggest audience. Late night crowds simply stopped going out for a long time, and it hasn't fully recovered. 2) That location isn't great for late night food. Most late night food is centered around Main Street, where they started. I was worried about them as soon as they announced the move because the location isn't busy late at night. It's a little off the beaten path.
February 11, 20223 yr Obviously Covid hurt them but I agree that the move to that location was not good for business. Many people were saying that back when it was originally announced 2 years ago, pre-pandemic.

April 7, 20223 yr Food hall with 36 holes of mini-golf planned for Oakley The developer behind Northern Kentucky's Covington Yard outdoor food park is planning on opening a similar concept in the heart of Oakley, but with the addition of two 18-hole miniature golf courses. A development group led by Josh Niederhelman and Mark Hemberger with CURO has plans to develop an indoor-outdoor food hall with an elevated balcony, stage, courtyard and 36 holes of miniature golf – an easy course and a difficult course – in the southwest corner of the Oakley Station development, next to Anthem's office. A name for the concept has not yet been chosen. Niederhelman told me that with the success of Covington Yard, the group was looking to expand the concept with a new location, and the 3.5-acre site in Oakley seemed like a great fit to include the miniature golf component. They had looked at different entertainment options from pickleball to a craft brewery, but miniature golf seemed like the best fit. "There are not many locations for that in close proximity to the Oakley area," he said. "We wanted to bring back the miniature golf concept that can be played by all people, from kids to adults to golf professionals."

April 7, 20223 yr ^From a broader neighborhood perspective, this is the most interesting part of the article: Quote One of the things that was most attractive about the Oakley location, he said, was the proposed pedestrian tunnel underneath the Oakley rail yard that would connect the Oakley Station development with the neighborhood's business district and Oakley Square. The Oakley Community Council approved $265,000 to explore a pedestrian and bike connector from Disney Street in Oakley Station underneath the rail yard to 34th Avenue, which feeds into Oakley Square. Engineering firm Woolpert is creating drawings that will be used to apply for federal funding to construct the tunnel.
