An event space in downtown Cincinnati, Lempicka by Jeff Ruby, is closing due to an ongoing dispute with its landlord, Towne Properties, over security issues.
According to Jeff Ruby Culinary Entertainment CEO, Britany Ruby Miller, the company has made the difficult decision to close Lempicka and relocate its corporate offices, citing the landlord's unwillingness to meet basic security measures.
We have made the difficult decision to close Lempicka, our event space, and relocate our corporate offices... due to a landlord dispute regarding safety protocols.
The decision is reportedly unrelated to the broader challenges downtown, including crime around Fountain Square.
