The Southern Food & Beverage Museum on Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard in Central City has permanently closed its doors, two years after celebrating its 20th anniversary.

A spokesperson for the board of directors of the National Food & Beverage Foundation, which oversees the facility, said Wednesday that the nonprofit institution was unable to overcome financial obstacles created by the pandemic and hurricanes earlier this decade.

Shocked they were still open.

Was an alright spot but OC Haley will never be what investors want it to be.

Agree. They should've stayed in the Riverwalk or somewhere in the Quarter with more tourist traffic.

Exactly. Oc Haley may get some uptown hipsters but you're not being tourist or anyone from other parts the city.
They needed to be in the warehouse district by the other museums or in the quarter. They could have survived if they were street car adjacent anywhere.
