The renowned A.O.C. wine bar and restaurant in Brentwood, operated by Suzanne Goin and Caroline Styne, will close on August 1 after 16 years. The decision comes amid numerous challenges, including financial losses from past fires, the 2024 entertainment strikes, the pandemic's effects, and rising rents. The duo expressed gratitude for their loyal staff and customers, noting that while they close this location, their A.O.C. in West Hollywood will continue to serve the community with its distinctive Californian small plates that emphasize local produce and Mediterranean flavors.
At this point, with this confluence of circumstances, continuing felt untenable. We are heartbroken that our Brentwood era has come to an end.
The menu redoubles the communal, small-plates ethos that Goin and Styne led the charge to codify in Los Angeles.
