Here’s your latest in the local food scene:
- Ample Hills Creamery at 2nd + PCH has closed; it marks a nationwide closing of their locations.
- Pine Avenues’s former wedding venue (and, for the old folks in the room, the sole Z Gallerie to exist in our city), will become Altar Society Brewing Co., a surprise to few: Owner Jon Sweeney has been working on this since pre-pandemic and plans to keep the space, well, a venue, specifically for weddings.

- ICYMI: Portuguese Bend has shuttered its storefront following a legal battle that is ensuing between its owners. While it signals yet another blow to DTLB—particularly following the announcement that Beachwood has suspended all food operations earlier this month—it should be noted that other DTLB businesses in the very same area are thriving, from Ammatolí and The Ordinarie to Recreational and Congreation.
