Luxe Burger Bar — well known for its gourmet burgers and its annual contest to design the best burger -- is closing its doors for good.

Luxe never reopened after Governor Gina Raimondo's ordered restaurants shuttered in March due to the coronavirus pandemic, before reopening the economy months later. 

The closure of Luxe is another blow to the Providence restaurant industry that has seen the closure of Bravo, Nick's on Westminster and others.

In 2011, Providence was named the 3rd Best Burger city in America by Travel + Leisure.
