After a year and a half operating in the Heights, restaurant officials with 1891 American Eatery & Bar announced on social media they are closing the doors.

“We’ve made the difficult decision to close 1891 American Eatery & Bar. While this wasn’t an easy choice, it was a choice that had to be made,” the statement read.

Looking back

The eatery originally opened in November 2023 in the space that formerly housed Berryhill Baja Grill and served American classic food. When the restaurant opened in 2023, Operating Partner and Chef Jason Gould called the East 11th Street building a “mainstay” in the Heights community and the perfect location for the “ultimate neighborhood concept.” The listed website "1891heights.com" was a broken link by March 3.

“We are incredibly proud of what we built—a welcoming space where friends and family gathered over great food, craft cocktails and local beers,” the statement read.
