Grill House Shutters; Activity on the New Blue Barn Gourmet; and More

Tenderloin: Grill House Mediterranean (533 Jones) is now closed. [Eater]
Russian Hill: Ten months after we first heard inklings about this, Yabbie’s Coastal Kitchen at 2237 Polk Street is definitively closed and looks to be changing hands soon. As reported earlier, the guys behind Blue Barn Gourmet (also Tipsy Pig and Mamacita) are looking to put a second Blue Barn in this space. The Scoop says that the deal to sell the place is still pending. Stay tuned. [Grub Street, Scoop]
North Beach: Beth Spotswood pens another funny Tourist Trapped column, this time on the Penthouse Club and Steakhouse. [SFGate]
Mission: Schmendricks, the bagel pop-up, is having a launch party of sorts on May 10 at Four Barrel Coffee at which they’ll be announcing more upcoming dates. Tickets for the party, including a bagel sandwich, coffee, and beer, can be bought here. [Mission Local]
Also, Maverick is hosting a junk food and wine pairing event on May 16. [SFist]
