East Price Hill wine bar and restaurant Somm closed permanently over the weekend.

Somm opened along Price Avenue in May 2016, with an expansive selection of wines and a contemporary upscale, yet approachable menu. Its last night of service was Saturday, sharing news of the closure on social media the night before.

“After nearly a decade of sharing exceptional wines and unforgettable moments, Somm Wine Bar will host its final service tomorrow night. We are deeply grateful for the support and camaraderie you’ve shown us over these ten wonderful years,” the wine bar shared in a Facebook post.

The wine bar, owned by Cafeo Hospitality, which owns other Greater Cincinnati restaurants and bars like Jefferson Social, Incline Public House and Press on Monmouth, didn’t provide a specific reason for closing, but the closure came off as abrupt to some, as the restaurant shared its new spring menu just days before.

“Your presence has made Somm a cherished gathering place. Thank you for the treasured celebrations and memories we’ve shared together.”
