Overview
- Low Key posted on Instagram that it will host one final weekend and close on Saturday, Aug. 8, inviting patrons to a farewell.
- The announcement offered thanks to customers and memories but did not give a reason for the shutdown.
- A longtime performer told reporters the closure is a major financial hit, estimating the bar accounted for about 80% of his income.
- Alumni and regulars left emotional comments on social media and local outlets reported patrons planning to attend the last shows to say goodbye.
- The basement space at Mill and Fifth has housed dueling-piano formats since the 1990s and Low Key briefly expanded to Westgate in 2018 before that location closed.
