Terra Vino, a wine bar on the Lower East Side, has reduced its operating hours due to ongoing staffing shortages. The bar will now close at midnight instead of 2 a.m., Tuesday through Sunday.

Management cited difficulty filling front and back-of-house positions in a competitive market. They emphasized the change is temporary while recruitment continues.

Patrons have noted the earlier closing but remain supportive. The bar continues regular service during adjusted hours.
