It appears that Ink Bar, Lounge, Restaurant, which opened in the Cortona space in Cooper-Young in June, has closed.
Delivery of the news was low-key and came via the Ink Facebook page. A guest commented “Closed???? What???? Halloween prank??” Ink responded, “Thank you, it will be missed. Thanks for your support.”
A request for comment from the Ink manager went unanswered.
Before the Italian restaurant Cortona opened in the space at 948 S. Cooper, it was Dish from 2005 to 2010.
