New venue called 'The Refinery' to occupy former Kye's sites in Jeffersonville

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (WDRB) -- Weddings, holiday parties and special events can now be booked at the former Kye's location in Jeffersonville.

Alex Hunnicutt and Paul Latham recently signed a five-year lease at the old Kye's One and Two sites in Jeffersonville. The business partners also own The Gramercy in downtown Louisville.

Their new business venture -- The Refinery -- will open April 27. They say they're investing about $200,000 in upgrades, including a new floor, removing the courtyard fountain and buying new tables and chairs.

Kye's, a popular southern Indiana venue for weddings and events for 25 years, closed in 2018.
