Looks like Stu is closing it down 10-30-21 (but I'll be at P&F-Cap). Nothing on schedule in Nov or beyond. See everyone for Melvin-JGB 10.15,16,17. My finale... <insert tears here>
i thought everything was open again, things seems mostly back to normal aside from some counties requiring masks...there was a post further up about the restaraunt being empty for awhile, is there still a ban on indoor dining with marin county or san rafeal? i thought they had started to reopen and were having shows again. i wasnt aware the restaurant had been closed for awhile, i just hadnt heard of anywhere left that still has no indoor dining and assumed it was open
Not true Woz. A couple of kitchen items were removed, everything else is still there.
Must've been all piled in a corner because there were no tables in the bar area or anywhere I could spot from the merch counter.....hopefully someone takes the place over......
Other than all the conjecture from outsiders, has anyone said anything offical "for sure"?
All we know for sure is that the lease for the park was not initially renewed and hasn't yet been, and Woz had some ideas of the place being bought to be turned into another auto dealership.
But I don't think any of that is for sure.
Still, there's a time & a place for everything, and even before COVID I figured after ten years Phil/Jill would be looking to let loose of the place sooner than later, but hopefully to someone that would keep it rolling as a restaurant/venue. I think the damned pandemic, which is continuing and will for a while longer, just brought the whole thing down.
But at least for the moment, who knows anything "for sure"?
All we know for sure is that the lease for the park was not initially renewed and hasn't yet been, and Woz had some ideas of the place being bought to be turned into another auto dealership.
And that was a rumor I picked from nearby local businesses. Nobody knows anything "for sure" and the silence is deafening as the expression goes. I'm looking forward to Peter Rowan this Saturday!
Never made it, the one time I was in the area Phil was playing my last night in but had a 7:00 AM flight. Universe trolled me, we were delayed several times and did not depart SF until 4:30 PM.
Could've gone...
Oh well, it was fun watching the streams once in a while.
Well... There were a couple of canceled Grate Room shows right after Halloween, I think on November 2 and 3? It would not surprise me in the least if Phil comes back after Halloween, takes Nov 1 off for the travel, and then last minute announces final TXR shows on those dates — outdoors of course. I do NOT expect they would just let the doors close with nothing Phil does there again. I can’t imagine the final show there is Stu on October 30. Not that anything is wrong with Stu, but I just have to imagine Phil will close the place out. Last minute ticket dump as usual. I would keep my eyes peeled for it.
All we know for sure is that the lease for the park was not initially renewed and hasn't yet been, and Woz had some ideas of the place being bought to be turned into another auto dealership.
Coincidentally I just got home and was talking to my neighbor who is a local attorney and shared he just heard that the Lexus dealership up the street is taking over the lease for the property TXR sits on. Take it FWIW....
I've heard the same. Add in the fact that the property is situated on a waterway makes repairs are a regulatory night mare as it involves both state and federal clean water acts etc.
It's good to know that whatever happens, some things will never change.
Phil shouldn't play with them, he should play with THEM! NO! Phil should play with THEM!!! No, no, NO, Phil can't play with them, he MUST play with THEM!!!!!!
Tired.
I also have to believe that Phil/Jill will want to do a goodbye to the place they invested so much time and effort into, and where they had so much success.
Unfortunately, the Grate Room is such a petrie dish I don't see anything happening in there, but I could see a house party in the empty restaurant as a good way to say fare thee well.
So many good times have been had at that place, there just has to be a proper goodbye.
