LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The Silver Dollar, a beloved southern restaurant and whiskey bar on Frankfort Avenue in Louisville's Clifton neighborhood, will close for good later this week.

The restaurant opened in 2011 and has been nationally recognized as one of the top whiskey bars, earning a spot a "10 Best Whiskey Bars in America" list.

In a Facebook post Tuesday, the owners said they'll be open one last time, on Saturday, Nov. 15. 

"It's been an honor to serve this community, and we hope you'll join us one more time as we raise a glass to the good times we've shared," the post says.

In 2023, the owners put the building on the market, citing a decline in sales and operator hours due to staffing shortages.

"I'll always be a supporter of Silver Dollar, but I think it's time for fresh leadership as my business partner has left the business," Shawn Cantley said in October 2023.
