JACKSON SQUARE \u2014 Barbarossa Lounge has closed its doors after 11 years in business as of Saturday, September 26. In an Instagram post<\/a> announcing the closure, the owners wrote, \u201cAfter months of discussion with the landlord, and as a result of being unable to reach a long-term agreement that would allow Barbarossa to continue operating sustainably at this location, we have made the difficult decision to close.\u201d The post thanked former employees, event planners, and customers, writing, \u201cThank you to every person who has been part of this story.\u201d 714 Montgomery Street, San Francisco<\/p>\n

INNER RICHMOND \u2014 Local favorite Mai\u2019s Restaurant has closed as of Thursday, October 1, the San Francisco Chronicle<\/a> reports. The restaurant has reportedly been around since 1979, serving pho, lemongrass barbecue beef, and more. A prerecorded message at the restaurant\u2019s number confirmed the closure, but no reason was given, the news outlet states. 316 Clement Street, San Francisco<\/p>\n

ALAMEDA \u2014 Say it ain\u2019t so: Admiral Maltings<\/a> and the Rake are set to close this month. In an email announcing the news<\/a>, the Admiral Maltings team stated the final batch of malt will come out of the kiln on Friday, October 2; The Rake, meanwhile, will shut down on Sunday, October 18. Admiral Maltings was known for its floor-malting process and supplied many craft brewers and distillers in its nine years of business. \u201cDespite our best efforts, we couldn\u2019t make and sell malt economically,\u201d the company\u2019s announcement reads in part. \u201cAlthough we have reached out to many professional colleagues and potential partners over the last couple of years in an effort to carry Admiral Maltings into the future, we no longer possess the resources to push forward.\u201d The announcement goes on to thank customers for their support over the years. 651A West Tower Avenue, Alameda<\/p>\n

MENLO PARK \u2014 Menlo Park deli Lutticken\u2019s has closed all four of its locations as of Wednesday, September 30, after 45 years in business, Palo Alto Online<\/a> reports. The deli served as a space for sandwiches, eventually adding dinner, a full bar, and live music, per the news outlet. There\u2019s a chance the business could live on; Palo Alto Online reports that an employee is interested in continuing the business, but it seems nothing is finalized as of the writing of that story. 3535 Alameda de las Pulgas, Menlo Park<\/p>\n
