The former Old Broadway Food and Spirits, reported to be empty and for sale, is rumored to be haunted. Past employees say inside the building they have experienced cold chills, an apparition of a phantom bartender that shows up on a security camera or in mirrors, and moving objects, such as pots, pans and silverware. The building, originally a private home, housed a funeral home in 1926 before it became a series of eateries.
Was in an earlier life the “Mainstreet Brewery”.

This is now a restaurant, Bello Cuccina. It used to be a brothel a long time ago also.
I worked as the Chef at Old Broadway Restaurant in 2001 until 2003 having many encounters with a white image of a women usually near the front windows by the bar/ piano area .
At times I would open the restaurant to meet with food delivery drivers and the place had a very uncomfortable feeling about it, the radio at the bar would be on/ tv on but as soon as I traveled through the kitchen to the bar area to disarm the alarm nothing would be on .
Never hurtful just a bit uncomfortable .
Wonderful place to work, great owner’s Frank and Lisa, awesome staff, fun memories.
I am an Intuitive/Sensitive and the minute I walked in there I got the chills from head to toe. I had an overwhelming feeling there were spirits there. I have never been there before and did not know if it was haunted nor the history of the place.
They want to tear it down and rebuild. Will spirits be protected and remain present?
Do the spirit s stay there and go into new building
