The Abbey on Butler Street

The original portion of the building was constructed as The Wayne Brass Foundry in 1913 and then later renovated into Henninger Funeral Home during the Great Depression. Respectfully, we honor the lives and all of loved ones that met here to send off what some refer to as The Greatest Generation. Hidden for decades, the wood ceilings in The Coffeehouse and The Parlour Bar were uncovered and found painted white as they were original to the original foundry space complete with rusted-out industrial lighting. At our 47th and Butler Streets corner once stood "Centennial Hall" where the First Primitive Methodist Church was first organized. Our patio for our dining space, The Vesper Room operated as stone carving business. You can even find a cross carved in a stone at our Butler and Home Street corner that was uncovered during recent construction.

We've since pressed the imagination and the visual journey you will take wandering the many nooks of The Abbey on Butler Street - more than one visit will permit. We continue to expand and grow, providing an opportunity to never have the same experience twice after walking through our entry.

We've blended boundaries through the collaboration of baristas, cooks and bartenders, each offering the best of their respective crafts to create dishes and drinks that are both dependably inventive and comfortingly familiar.
