What happened after Food Paradise?

On Food Paradise's 'BBQ Paradise 3' (S5E2), Village Tavern in the Atwater Village neighborhood of Los Angeles was featured for wood-fired pizzas, shareable small plates, and a rotating lineup of craft beers on tap, presented on the show as a laid-back neighborhood gathering spot rather than a formal dining destination. The business operated as a casual bar and tavern, drawing a local crowd for its beer selection alongside the food menu, in a stretch of Glendale Boulevard known for small independent restaurants. According to Google Places, the business's status is listed as permanently closed, based on a 2026-09-08 check of the listing. The same 2026-09-08 check found the tavern's own website, villagetavern.com, returning an HTTP 403 error with no active page content, consistent with the closed listing, and no separate current information about the address was found elsewhere in the evidence gathered.
