Two Melt Bar and Grilled locations, including the Fairlawn/Montrose restaurant, will permanently close later this month.
“To say 2024 has been a crazy and turbulent year would be a huge understatement. I greatly appreciate everyone who has supported us through the last 18 years and the many changes this year,” Matt Fish, owner of Melt Bar and Grilled said in an email statement.
The Mentor and Fairlawn locations will permanently close in August 2024 to allow the focus to be on the original flagship Melt location in Lakewood, Ohio — which will remain open.
“This decision was very difficult to make on a personal and professional level,” Fish said. “Operating multiple locations is unfortunately not sustainable for the immediate or long-term future. This difficult decision was made to ensure Melt Bar and Grilled will continue and succeed with a much smaller footprint.”
• The Mentor location (7289 Mentor Ave) last day of operations will be Sunday, Aug. 11.
• The Akron location (3921 Medina Road) last day of operations will be Sunday, Aug. 25.
• The Lakewood location (14718 Detroit Ave) will operate as the current Melt Bar and Grilled through Sept. 1. The location will temporarily close for 7-days beginning Monday, September 2nd. During the temporary closure, there are many renovations planned that will affect all aspects of the location and brand. Updates and improvements are planned for the menu, food & drink quality/selection, service levels, atmosphere/décor and branding.
The grand re-opening of Melt Bar and Grilled Lakewood will be Monday, Sept. 9.
All Melt Bar and Grilled gift cards, Big Cheese Club points and Melt Tattoo Family VIP Discounts will continue to be honored at all locations through August 2024. Gift cards, frequent dining points and the Melt Tattoo Family will continue to be welcomed at the updated Lakewood location after Sept. 9, 2024.
The Melt University location at CWRU and Melt Ballpark location at Progressive Field will remain open.
