Lilly’s Music & Social House, located at 2321 Arsenal St., at the corner of Jefferson Avenue, closed its doors on Sunday, May 29. The restaurant and entertainment venue was open almost one year. “A lot of factors went into the decision to close,” said owner and general manager Kristen Goodman. “But it was mainly a financial decision.”
Goodman, who is also a singer and musician, plans to focus on promoting and producing events and entertainments as an independent contractor. “I am so thankful for all the support we’ve had at Lilly’s,” she said. “The neighborhood supported us. It was a place that was built by the community and for the community. We were a huge success in a lot of ways because of our patrons and supporters.”
