Midtown Sacramento wine bar 58 Degrees & Holding Co. will close on May 31, 2026, after 20 years in business, its operators announced Thursday. The longtime spot at 1217 18th St. has anchored Midtown’s dining scene since the mid‑2000s, drawing both serious wine lovers and neighborhood regulars. The news signals the end of an era for a place that doubled as wine shop, bistro and late‑night hangout.
According to Abridged 11 PBS KVIE, the bar broke the news in an Instagram post that turned into a thank‑you note to Sacramento. “What started as a wine bar became so much more because of all of you,” the post read, adding that the team was “endlessly grateful” for customers and employees who helped make the place what it was.
A Midtown Mainstay Since 2006
LocalWiki lists 58 Degrees & Holding Co. as established in 2006. Over the years it built its reputation on an expansive by‑the‑glass lineup paired with seasonally inspired small plates. The restaurant’s own website underscores that focus on food‑and‑wine pairings and lists its Midtown address at 1217 18th St., along with menus and operating hours.
Owned By Midtown Lawyers Since 2017
In 2017, several partners and employees of Midtown law firm Gavrilov & Brooks bought the business, the firm noted in a news post about the change in ownership. The move highlighted just how intertwined nearby professional offices and the neighborhood restaurant scene had become.
Final Service And Next Steps
The operators have not shared what will happen with the space after May 31, according to Abridged 11 PBS KVIE, and there is no word yet on a new tenant. For now, Midtown regulars have until the end of the month to stop in for a final visit while the neighborhood waits to see what rises in its place.
