We've had an amazing time but we're going to close (for now)! Our revenue just hasn't kept pace with the rising costs and our very high rent increases (we would have had to do 300% more revenue to justify our rent). We hope to quickly move to a new location! ⁠
⁠
Our last day in this space will be January 11.  So come and drink and sing and laugh with us for the next week.  We'd love to see you!

Castro Valley! Business is growing! CV Marketplace, restaurants. Look at the end of the boulevard across from the movie theater, near the sushi joint and record store!

That sounds like a ridiculous rent increase! Hope you find a new home soon

Wild that commercial rents can be so high and exorbitant to push out small businesses. It’s just not fair to the regular people in the area.
