The spot on Fourth Avenue that’s housed multiple businesses over the past decade, most recently Blush and Blush After Dark, is once again vacant. The brand-new restaurant concept that opened its doors in August of 2023 has permanently closed — as of Tuesday, January 2 — at 340 N. Fourth Ave.

Jonathan Homan, the owner of Blush, let us know that there were multiple reasons why they decided to close. For one, Homan is relocating out of state to address increased family commitments, and another is due to some undisclosed concerns associated with the Fourth Avenue location.

When Homan opened Blush, it was crafted with college kids in mind, aiming to transport its guests back in time with a unique blend of a “1950s and 1990s old-school vibe.” The menu was classic comfort food “with a modern twist” and the space in the back — Blush After Dark — was used as more of a club vibe full of neon lights, a photo booth, and a spacious dance floor.

Homan is also looking for parties interested in purchasing the business. Contact him directly at owner@jhrestaurantgroup.com or via text at (323) 642-0799.
