All-day dining spot Automat debuted in November 2021 with a plan to serve casual, but ambitious, food from breakfast to dinner. Now it seems the restaurant is scaling back a bit, as it announced Wednesday that it is stopping dinner service as of Saturday, June 24. Acknowledging that “daytime is what we have become known for,” the post goes on to say that it’s been a challenge running its extensive daytime and bakery program along with its dinner menu, both space- and staff-wise.
The announcement hints that there still may be room for some evening pop-ups or beer and wine dinners down the line, but for now starting Tuesday, June 27, Automat’s operating hours will be 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday.

(It’s worth noting that the deal does not include the Sinskey brand or its vineyards.)

Meanwhile, Abacá will host a drag bingo brunch with some special menu items, and each $10 ticket will get diners two bingo cards to play along, with all proceeds going to the Trevor Project.
