LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Bearno's pizza is closing up shop at its downtown Louisville location near the KFC Yum! Center, but it's not going far.

The restaurant on Whiskey Row will close in mid-December and reopen just a few days later at the corner of South 3rd and West Market streets.

Bearnos' owner said rent got too high and he was considering relocating before the pandemic.

A new tenant is already planning to take over the current location, but the details have not yet been announced.
