Spinners, a tiny, hole in the wall, Middle-Eastern restaurant in Ocean Beach is up for sale.
Located at 4884 Newport Avenue, the place is on the docket for $120,000.
It’s unclear how long Spinners was up and running, but its sale does display the continuing saga of businesses on Newport. Constantly coming and going.

With rents spiraling upwards, you will see how increased density affects us all. Small businesses will be forced to close and local jobs lost.
My husband and I ate there before it got rebranded as Spinners only a few months ago…the food was delicious! Not sure why they rebranded because the menu only changed slightly. Sorry to see they will be leaving soon.
Did this establishment sell alcohol?
