Status unconfirmed
Herringbone's former domain (herringboneeats.com) now redirects to an unrelated hospitality company's generic venue page, and Herringbone does not appear on founder Brian Malarkey's current restaurant-group website (checked 2026-09-21) alongside its known sibling restaurants; current operating status could not be confirmed.
