Babe’s Lounge in Benton Harbor has new owners, a new name, a new floor, a new ceiling, and shall from now on (and until the foreseeable future) be known as Babe’s Riverview Bar and Grill.
On Thursday, April 20, 2023, Keith Polaskey (owner of Heaven Scent Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning) formally took ownership of Babe’s from Pauline Couvelis. Keith and his wife Angela will operate the business that was first established on Main Street in 1958 and moved to Riverview Drive in the 1970s. The ownership transition is official and already the renovations to freshen the riverside property are underway.
Babe’s at 565 Riverview Drive is in a prime location for nearby developments underway. The bar is currently closed and as soon as the liquor license transfer is complete (expected in the next 24 hours) Babe’s will reopen.
The new Babe’s owners have exciting plans and updates in store. The exclusive interview with Keith and his wife Angela will be posted here soon.
