After barely more than a year in business, Billy's on Broadway, which took over the former home of Beale on Broadway at 701 S. Broadway in June 2023, has announced it will close on Oct. 25.

The closure was announced on social media. Highlights of the statement include: "We want to express our heartfelt appreciation for your support. ... Unfortunately, we are announcing that we will be closing our doors on Oct. 25. The current landscape of the restaurant industry has become increasingly challenging, and it has pushed us beyond reasonable limits. ... For now, we simply cannot find a way to move forward as we are."
