Closed August 3, 2025... A new owner has already been found: "While SFAC is closing, the space at 1750 Divisadero is being passed on to another operator, Mike Najjar, who is planning to keep the location operating as a sports bar. We have come to know Mike over the past few months and he is excited to bring his own version of a sports bar to the neighborhood. We wish him the best of luck."
