Delux Cafe in Boston's South End Has Closed; Will Reopen in February

[Ed note: This article was updated on January 26 to reflect the fact that the restaurant has been sold and will be reopening.]

An eclectic restaurant and bar in the South End of Boston has closed its doors, though it now looks like the place will reopen.

A note from Patrick M. of the Server Not Servant site indicates that Delux Cafe on Chandler Street has shuttered, with a Twitter post from @DigBoston (via Anna Norton on Facebook) confirming this--a sign out front saying "Delux Cafe -- RIP" is shown on Dig's page. [Update: A response to DigBoston by the restaurant says that it is "Gone, but not for long. Sold to a long time employee and will reopen in February." (Thanks to The Boston Globe for bringing this to our attention.)]

Delux Cafe, which first opened in 1993, featured mostly classic American fare, pub grub, and comfort food, with such dishes as Cubanos, BBQ ribs, grilled cheese sandwiches, tacos, quesadillas, ravioli, and roasted half chicken offered.

The address for the Delux Cafe is 100 Chandler Street, Boston, MA, 02116.
