WeHo's Acabar Restaurant Suddenly Closes

Acabar, WeHo's gorgeous Mediterranean restaurant, has closed. Acabar announced its sudden departure on its website.
It is with great regret that we inform you that Acabar is closed. Thank you to each and every one of Acabar's customers. We appreciate your support during the past few years. We have had some amazing events, parties & dinners that we will never forget. Thank you to all our wonderful entertainers and musicians who joined our family each week and celebrated life with us. And a very special thank you to our amazing team for all their hard work and dedication during this incredible, fun journey together.
So far, no particular reason has been given for the decision.
