Bound’ry Closed Temporarily
If you are headed to Bound’ry restaurant in the next couple of days, you might want to call ahead (phone: 321-3043) to confirm that the restaurant is open. As of Sunday, the restaurant was closed. Owner Jay Pennington said he shut the doors temporarily for remodeling and cleaning while he finalizes negotiations to extend the lease on the property at 911 20th Ave. S.
“It looked like we were going to have to close due to the lease,” Pennington says, adding that he expects to work out a deal in the next few days, at which point he hopes to reopen.
The lease negotiation is the latest complication at the popular midtown restaurant, which has been arguing for months with neighbors about the noise levels. With the opening of the new Adelicia highrise condominium tower just across the street, new residents have been complaining about late-night music at Bound’ry and its sister restaurant South Street.

Celebrity deaths come in threes; restaurant closings come in...dozens?

A lawsuit against the noise was filed in 1979:

What the Adelicia occupation has brought is a population with much deeper money-pockets than what neighbors in the past have had.

Interesting comment, S-town Mike, and thanks for the link. Have neighbors been complaining steadily over the years? I wasn't aware there were that many residential neighbors left until the Adelicia, and I figured most of the ones nearby were Vandy students (although I believe your link says the neighbors who filed the original injunction were divinity students).

Posted 06/30/2008 at 12:16:14 PMI'm sorry but do the new residents have any right to complain? They want urban living, and when they get it they complain about being so close to the action. I love the Bound'ry...I may cry

Posted 07/14/2008 at 10:31:13 AMI'm with Mandi. NEW residents, meaning the Boundry and other restaurants in that area have been there A LOT longer and add a unique splash to Nashville's eclectic palate when it comes to good eats. The Boundry, Southstreet, etc. need to stand their ground. Unless the neighbors want to eat at Wendy's all the time....
