101 North Eatery & Bar at The Shoppes at Westlake Village has been closed since the Christmas holiday, with its most recent social media post stating “Happy Holidays from all of us at 101 North Eatery & Bar! We’ll be closed for the holidays.”

The eatery has been closed since then, assumedly permanently. Its Instagram page indicates “closed until further notice” ad its website at www.101northeateryandbar.com is currently showing as “Website Expired.”

It's Yelp pages states “temporarily closes - scheduled to reopen on February 12” but I would not hold my breath on it. Lastly, the eatery remains on The Shoppes’ website, without any indication of the fact that it has been closed over a month. That said, Hibye Coffee, which opened several weeks ago, is shown as “coming soon.”

101 North Eatery originally opened in 2018.
