'VPR' Back In Action? Lisa Vanderpump Set To Reopen Sur Amid Pandemic
She’s back! Lisa Vanderpump’s famous restaurant, SUR, which is featured on the hit Bravo series Vanderpump Rules, is set to reopen after being closed for six months due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
“Reopening night is around the corner,” the restaurant teased on its official Instagram account on Tuesday, September 22. “Cheers to that.”
According to SUR’s website, they are “back and open for dine-in service” beginning Wednesday, September 23.

The site also says they have “updated” the space and “have put new practices in place to make sure we can provide a safe, comfortable and fun dining experience for everyone.”
The restaurant will require reservations for the time being, due to high demand.
Vaderpump’s restaurant — located in West Hollywood, California — closed in March to abide by California’s shutdown for businesses due to COVID-19.
“In compliance with the mayor and in the best interest of the community, we will be closed until at least March 31st,” an Instagram post in March read.

In addition to SUR being closed, Vanderpump Rules has faced a lot of setbacks recently. In June, Bravo fired stars Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni for past racially insensitive comments amid the Black Lives Matter movement.

When speaking out about Schroeder’s firing, Vanderpump noted that neither she nor Doute had worked for her in years. The 60-year-old restaurateur also told Entertainment Tonight that “if it were up to me, I would like to see them go on but really have a better understanding of where they went wrong.
“I think it’s sad, really, what happened, because I do think that people can learn from their mistakes, and I’m all about that,” the RHOBH alum added.
Schroeder recently spoke to talk show host Tamron Hall and admitted that she “messed up” in her past.

“I felt like it would be better for me to take the time to get a greater understanding of everything and the issues before I opened my mouth again,” the 32-year-old explained on why she had kept quiet on her firing from VPR. “I am the reason why I am in this situation. I think a lot of people wanted me to focus on cancel culture and whether I was a victim or not but it’s not how I feel at all.”
The show’s cast will look very different when VPR begins filming again, and patrons of the famous restaurant can also expect a new “surprise” when SUR reopens.
“Lisa and husband Ken Todd took this time to revamp some things,” an inside source told US Weekly.
