7 Sacramento-area restaurants, breweries that have recently closed

Stories by Sacramento Bee journalists, with AI summarization

Sacramento's food and drink establishments face tough times with closures driven by rent issues and declining foot traffic. These challenges cause several well-known spots to close their doors.

Device Brewing Company shuts down operations at all three Sacramento locations following a lawsuit alleging unpaid rent. Track 7 Brewing Co. also closes both of its locations, citing financial struggles. Seasons 52, a chain restaurant at Arden Fair, ends its operations due to business conditions and distribution difficulties. Finally, a macaron chain closes its downtown Sacramento shop, attributing its downfall to low foot traffic and parking issues downtown.

A party fills the patio at Malt and Mash, an Irish pub located at 715 K St. in downtown Sacramento. Malt and Mash is expected to close and reopen as a new venture in fall 2025.
