Dewey’s Jazz Lounge to Permanently Close on April 23
SPRINGFIELD — Dewey’s Jazz Lounge, a Springfield restaurant and lounge known for its soulful ambiance, vibrant events, and dedication to community and hospitality, will permanently close its doors on Wednesday, April 23.
“Due to circumstances outside of our control, we are forced to close and will no longer be able to operate at our current location,” said Kenny Lumpkin, the establishment’s owner and founder.
Opened in 2021, Dewey’s Lounge has spent the past four years building a reputation as one of the city’s most welcoming, community-centered establishments. From live music and themed nights to special events and private celebrations, Dewey’s quickly became a cultural hub and a go-to destination for unforgettable experiences.
“Watching Dewey’s come to life from a vision in our heads to a real space filled with joy, laughter, and connection has been one of the highlights of my life,” Lumpkin said. “This was a labor of love, built with intention, passion, and the support of our community.”
Over the years, Dewey’s has hosted countless milestones: weddings, engagements, birthdays, bridal showers, retirements, and more.
“We are incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished and deeply grateful to our guests, our staff, our vendors, and the city itself for believing in us,” Lumpkin added. “Thank you for making Dewey’s a part of your lives.”
The team invites the public to visit during the restaurant’s final weeks of operation to celebrate all that Dewey’s has meant to so many. More information can be found at deweyslounge.com/live-entertainment.
