Horn Barbecue, which was damaged by a fire last year, will not reopen, owner Matt Horn announced.
Oakland's acclaimed Horn Barbecue is permanently closing its doors after facing a series of challenges, including a devastating fire that damaged part of the building and recurring theft, the owner shared on Thursday.The BBQ restaurant on Mandela Parkway has been closed since late November for restoration work on the burned structure, which suffered structural and electrical damage.
These occurrences, each an ordeal on their own, collectively have created an environment that, at this point, is untenable for us to operate in safely and effectively."Soon after the fire, Horn questioned whether the blaze might have been an act of arson. Fire officials have yet to establish whether arson was involved.Horn chronicled part of the rebuilding process in his short documentary "Rising From The Ashes," released last month.
