Katie Belle's
I believe that the probable closure of Katie Belle's was due to the fact that the developer wasn't bring in any enough money. Why else would you be closing? The Villages Daily Sun article in today's paper of 5-12-20 mentioned that there were more opportunities for dining and entertainment in The Villages. If Katie Belle's was doing well they would still be open. Katie Belle's was unique with the huge dance floor and seating upstairs and downstairs. It was reminiscent of a southern restaurant of yesteryear with plenty of charm. I'm sure thousands of dollars was spent for a "facelift". They were hoping to make more money by getting rid of the big dance floor, squeezing all the tables upstairs and hiring paid entertainment. It was just plain greed.

We dancers would go every time Bobby Tate was on stage. Good food, good drinks, good prices.

Closed for good
Not sure there is a difference in your statement!
The Villages Gourmet Club has it listed as permanently closed after 23 years in business... The Villages Gourmet Club Restaurant Reviews Page 1 Sad! Skip |

When Katie's changed to bookings to make more money, instead of allowing folk to stay when they wanted, that finished it. The food was never good anyway. Went once never again....

I won’t miss it now. I missed it when they “upgraded” it a few years ago and took away that great old western dance hall look and feel. The new one, no.

How sad. Lots of great memories. A real iconic Villages place. The old place was very special.

Maybe someone will take it over and turn it back into what it was back in the day. It won't be two floors, but it could definitely come back with the old flavor!
