Beloved SF Punk Venue, Bar To Close: 'This Neighborhood Will Be Pretty Boring'

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — A beloved dive bar and punk venue in San Francisco is set to close as the property will be turned into housing, the business announced on social media Wednesday.

Thee Parkside will be closing later this year. It's unclear exactly when, but in a post on social media, the business said they'd be stopping live music at the end of March and "just be a bar" for a few months after that.

The post claimed the property was going to be turned into a "buncha condos."

"This neighborhood will be pretty boring with both us and Bottom Of The Hill gone, but I feel like we’re just one more small business dying in this city," The Parkside said in the post. "The third spaces that once thrived will be replaced with bland and expensive corporations or will sit vacant."

The venue will continue to look for artists or bands who want to play one last show before the closure. There is also a yearbook on their website where people can write their memories and sign it.

"Share pics with us. Get merch while you can. Come support the bar and staff," the business said in the post. "We can sit at the bar and talk about how this city is becoming so homogenized and soul-less. We can reminisce and pet dogs and eat tater tots and we can plan for the revolution."
