While the retro former Rat Pack hangout has been slated for demolition and redevelopment for years, so far the property has hung with new lease extensions and promises of one more martini. Meanwhile old-school hangout Dear John’s could be closing as well, with ownership offering an update on the always-tenuous situation at the reborn Culver City restaurant.

Los Angeles has been hit with a slew of well-known restaurant and nightlife closures recently - and more could be on the way, including the uncertain fate of none other than Dear John’s in Culver City.
