The restaurant, which opened after Adler purchased the former grocery store, has faced ongoing complaints from neighbors about noise, parking and alcohol service

The city has revoked the liquor license for Beethoven Market in Mar Vista after multiple violations of its Restaurant Beverage Program authorization, an expedited permit for alcohol service at sit-down restaurants.

The Department of City Planning terminated the authorization effective immediately in a Dec. 18 letter to owner Jeremy Adler, citing three citations issued between May and September 2025 for breaches of operational conditions.

The violations included failure to comply with requirements on hours, renovations and zoning under the program, according to the letter.

Beethoven Market, which opened in March 2025 at 12904 Palms Blvd. after Adler purchased the former grocery store, has faced ongoing complaints from neighbors about noise, parking and alcohol service, Eater LA reported.

The restaurant is no longer serving alcohol while working with city officials on the issue, a spokesperson told Eater LA. Adler posted a statement on the business’s Instagram and website asking for community support.

The Restaurant Beverage Program allows qualifying restaurants to obtain alcohol permits faster and at lower cost than traditional processes.

The revocation bars the business from using the program for five years and requires a full discretionary conditional use permit for any future alcohol sales.
