Having opened in Norwich less than four months ago, wine cafe Veeno has now closed.
Veeno was located on Castle Mall's Timberhill Terrace, as part of a £3m development.
The Italian wine bar ceased trading on Saturday.
Tables and stock have been removed from the site.

The cafe specialised in the Italian dining style of Aperitivo which is an after-work culture of drinking and eating appetisers such as cold meats and cheese.
The business was launched in 2013 by friends Nino Caruso and Andrea Zecchino, with the wines being sourced from Caruso's family vineyard in Sicily which was established by his great-grandfather.

However, a spokesman for Castle Mall later said that Veeno intends to reopen with a new team at a date yet to be confirmed.
