No more green chili wontons in the Highlands, as The Bristol has announced the closure of its Highlands location, which opened 48 years ago. Bristol has two other locations, in the east end at 300 North Hurstbourne Parkway, and in Downtown Louisville at 614 West Main Street.
Sharing the news on social media, the business cited declining foot traffic and the loss of the late-night dining culture. Their last day will be Sunday, March 15.
After more than 48 years, our Highlands location will serve its final guests on March 15.
Since 1977, Highlands Bristol has been part of the heartbeat of this neighborhood — a place for late-night dining, celebrations, first dates, Sunday regulars, and countless memories. As the Highlands has changed over the years, decreased foot traffic and the loss of the late-night dining culture that once defined this area have made it increasingly difficult to operate in this location.
This transition reflects a thoughtful consolidation of our operations so we can focus on stability, strengthen the core of our business, and continue serving our guests and community responsibly. While this location is closing, our priority remains honoring the history of the Bristol and supporting the team members who have brought this restaurant to life for five decades.
Most importantly, we want to thank our extraordinary Highlands staff. Their dedication, heart, and hospitality over nearly 50 years are the reason this location has meant so much to so many. They created the experience our guests remember, and we are profoundly grateful for everything they poured into this restaurant.
Thank you, Highlands, for more than 48 unforgettable years — and thank you to our team for making those years truly special.
