[PRESS RELEASE] Bar Nine Culver City Location Closure

Bar Nine Announces Culver City Location Closure After 11 Incredible Years, Shifts Focus to Exciting Growth of Its Pure Espresso Line – The Last Day of Service will be Sunday, December 15th.

Culver City, CA — November 20, 2024 – After 11 wonderful years of serving the Culver City community, Bar Nine has made the difficult decision to close its flagship location based on lease negotiations. This marks the end of a chapter in a neighborhood that has grown alongside Bar Nine since its inception.  

“Our time in Culver City has been extraordinary,” said Bar Nine’s founder and CEO, Jereme Pitts. “We’ve built not just a business but a community. The relationships we’ve formed and the memories we’ve created with our customers are priceless. While this decision was difficult, it represents an exciting new chapter for Bar Nine.”

The closure comes as the building transitions to a single-tenant use, prompting the team to reimagine Bar Nine’s future. This pivotal moment allows the company to focus on the growth of Bar Nine Pure Espresso, a patented, ready-to-serve espresso product that delivers the same exceptional quality Bar Nine is known for to cafes, restaurants, hotels, and venues across Southern California, California at large, Las Vegas, and beyond.

“Bar Nine Pure Espresso lets us share the heart of Bar Nine—our coffee—with an even broader audience,” Pitts continued. “This innovative product enables establishments to serve premium espresso without expensive equipment or specialized training. It’s a game-changer for the industry and an opportunity for us to showcase the quality and consistency that defines Bar Nine.”

Bar Nine’s journey doesn’t end here. The company will continue to serve its signature coffee and exceptional service at its El Segundo outpost. Additionally, fans of Bar Nine can look forward to pop-ups, collaborations with world-class roasters, and other exciting projects.
