'Let's make up for lost time': Ludlow Bromley Yacht Club reopens after six years
A devastating crash that deemed a beloved riverfront restaurant a total loss in 2019 reopened recently after six years of reconstruction.
The Ludlow Bromley Yacht Club, known for its scenic views of the Ohio River from Northern Kentucky and live music, announced via a Facebook post on May 22 that they plan to welcome back customers this Memorial Day weekend.
After a barge crashed into the restaurant in 2019, the main dining area sank and sent pieces onto the banks of the Ohio River with tables, chairs and umbrellas floating upriver. Damages to the building and surrounding boats were believed to be upwards of thousands of dollars and promoted the immediate closure of the yacht club.
Since then, Ludlow Bromley has been teasing guests with the reopening for several months, posting updates about the possible revitalization on social media.
While it fully reopened Friday, May 23, the restaurant and bar is "still a work in progress" and will only be accepting cash until further notice.
"It might not be the final product − there will always be more 'finishing touches' and new nicknacks to add to our walls. But we can't wait to finally have everyone on board again! Let's make up for lost time." reads the Facebook post.
According to its website, Ludlow Bromley is open from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, noon to 11 p.m. on Sundays and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday. It is closed on Mondays.
