Blue River Cafe returning soon.

I don't intend to miss the grand re-opening ... and I'll even bring (some of) the beer.

Blue River Café rebirth is under way following fire, by Grace Schneider (Courier-Journal)

The lot where the Blue River Café stood in Milltown is empty, except for a bulldozer and the piled remains of an old shed. But in the coming weeks and months, the restaurant and live music club is expected to rise from the ashes of a devastating fire last May.

The café, housed in a 19th-century building in the heart of the tiny town, burned to the ground. But because it’s always been more than an eatery, the $500,000 rebuilding set to begin this month has been a welcome development.

It was a bastion of good beer in a part of the state not noted for choices, a wonderful place to eat, and a cool old building, too. When there's more to report, I will. Beware the WHAS-11 website's proclivity for annoying pop-up ads.

There were no reports of any injuries to firefighters and no one was believed to be inside the business when the fire started.
