After a Massive Dip in Summer Sales, Berkeley’s Bartavelle Cafe Is Closing - Eater SF
"Bartavelle Cafe in Berkeley, along with its companion wine alter ego Bar Sardine, announced in an Instagram post that it will close on September 15. The closure is due to financial difficulties exacerbated by the pandemic, high buildout costs from relocating, and a significant drop in sales. The owners launched a GoFundMe campaign to cover final payroll and unpaid vendor bills." - Brenna Houck
