Dewey's Jazz Lounge in Springfield closing by end of April
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – A beloved eatery and hang-out spot in downtown Springfield will close its doors for good by the end of the month.
Kenny Lumpkin, owner of Dewey's Jazz Lounge in Springfield, says that the restaurant will close on April 23rd.
Lumpkin says because of circumstances beyond the restaurant's control, they are no longer able to continue operating at the current location. Dewey's has been open since 2021 and has become well-known for its live music and welcoming community.
Lumpkin says it became a cultural hub and a go-to destination for unforgettable experiences, 'It was a feeling of pride. We gave everything we had—we gave our best. We are proud of what Dewey's became and the safe space that Dewey's created and cultivated.'
Lumpkin invites the public to visit during the restaurant's final weeks of operation to celebrate Dewey's. He adds that he plans to continue investing in the city of Springfield.
