The demise of Damon’s Grill

The Indianapolis restaurateur who owns D’Vine Wine Bar and The Melting Pot has closed his two remaining Damon’s Grill locations, at Southport Road and I-65, and along State Road 37 in Martinsville. Bennet Ackerman said each of the stores was losing money. He closed his Damon’s restaurant in Greenwood several months ago. That location will soon be home to an Arni’s restaurant. The owners of the other two buildings have begun a search for new restaurant tenants. Damon’s still has two Indianapolis-area locations, at I-465 and Kentucky Avenue, and along East 21st Street.
