After eight years in the Marina District, Victorian-themed bar and restaurant the Dorian is set to serve its last martini next month. The restaurant plans to host a final party and then close at the end of October before it is transferred to new ownership, reported Eater.

“We will certainly miss the Dorian, and it will always hold a uniquely special place in our hearts,” read a post from the Dorian on Facebook. “We’re proud of what we accomplished and excited to see how the new ownership will carry on its tradition and legacy of good times for good times sake.”

SFGATE could not reach the Dorian team for comment in time for publication.

Palm House Hospitality, which also owns Palm House in San Francisco, first opened the Dorian in the former Circa space at 2001 Chestnut St. in 2015. The restaurant is known for its $8 happy hour martinis, burgers and oysters, plus brunch items like tiramisu French toast and crab cake Benedict.  

Kingston Wu, the owner of Marina businesses Wilder and Westwood, as well as SoMa barcade Thriller Social Club, will take over the Dorian space.

“My goal is to extend The Dorian’s winning tradition of delicious food and inventive cocktails in an updated wrapper reflective of our new concept,” Wu told Eater. 

Wu plans to remodel the space, including relocating the main bar, and hopes it will eventually be open for lunch and dinner seven days a week, according to Eater.

To send off its customers, the Dorian has scheduled various celebrations throughout October: a Fleet Week party on Oct. 8, its annual Halloween Beastly Ball on Oct. 27, and a 1980s-themed eight-year anniversary party and final send-off on a still-to-be-announced date, the team wrote on Facebook.
