The entertainment was fabulous too & the restaurant upstairs was great! It's ashame that they took this establishment away...Spanish Springs is dwindling to nothing & it's NOT fair to the owners of the home in that area!

Katie Belles closed because it was losing money. People would come for the music, buy their 2-drink minimum, and occupy the table space for several hours. This forced other potential customers who might have paid for food to seek their dinner elsewhere.
in addition, this concept of dinner and dancing appealed to an older generation. That generation, while not yet fully extinct, has been mostly replaced by younger generations (multiple) that aren't interested in dinner and dancing in the same venue.
There are lots of things Belle's COULD be, but "dinner and dancing venue" is not one of them, and has already been proven a failed exercise.
