A pub in Oakland, California, announced it will permanently shutter its doors at the end of October due to rising crime and operating costs, the owner said.
An Irish pub in Oakland, California, is the latest retail victim of the state’s crime wave after making the "heartbreaking" announcement the bar will permanently close its doors at the end of the month. "Summer was very slow and between decreasing business and rising costs of supplies and labor, along with the rising crime in the area, we just can’t make the numbers work anymore," Slainte bar owner Jackie Gallanagh announced Monday on social media.
"It’s a sad day when you make the effort to go to Slainte for a pint and some Irish food, music and company, only to walk back out to your car to find broken windows and vandalism." "Your bill for your evening out just increased to $500. No one can be expected to pay that. No one," she added.
