AN FRANCISCO -- The Cliff House restaurant, which first opened 157 years ago, announced Sunday that the restaurant will close permanently on Dec. 31, a victim both of the COVID-19 pandemic and, its owners say, delays by the National Park Service in reaching a long-term operating contract with the restaurant.
They said 180 employees will lose their jobs.
The Cliff House ended in-house dining in March, owing to the pandemic. After 10 weeks of offering only takeout service, the restaurant shut down to diners as the pandemic struck.
The operators said they attempted to try takeout-only service in early June, but after 10 weeks of that, closed down completely in mid-July, saying the restaurant was losing too much money as a takeout-only operation.
Maybe they will house the ‘homeless’ there?
Nice welfare housing unit.
This is a shame. Friends who live in SF took us there about five years ago. Dinner was wonderful.
I haven’t trusted the NPS since, during an Obama government shut down, they brandished rifles at people parking at trail heads in the Olympic National Park. Just union thugs, in my opinion.
“Everything must be destroyed. Everything.”
Yes, because the government can then come in and take everything and appoint their people to run it. Voila, instant Socialism.
Whatever. I wish nothing but the worst for anything and everything in San Fagsicko.
Are there good kind considerate and conservative people there? Of course there are. Just like there were a few good people in Sodom and Gomorrah.
Why would you or anybody think that it’s good that it’s going to close?
———————————
Why? Could it be because the people that go there, the people that work there, the people that own the place are evil? That seems like a pretty good reason to me.
The owners were probably Dem donors to the end.
This is really sad. Was one of my favorite places.
That may be the problem. Just not enough donations.
"Breeder!"--an insult militant gays hurl at parents with children.
Went there as a kid with my parents in ‘74. Nice view, not crowded and not too expensive then (or I would have heard about that from my dad). Too bad.
Yep!
They’re ruining everything everything is going to be closed except large corporate places I went through Sacramento on Friday places are boarded up all over the place except Starbucks had a nice shiny glass
Took my Sweetie there, shortly before we were married. Nice stroll down the beach afterwards. The building is probably destined to house more homeless.
The owners were probably Dem donors to the end.
YES!
Like most winery owners are uber liberal elite dem donors.
So far unmentioned is that until 2002 the lower level had a wonderful museum of mechanical arcade games and musical instruments, the Musee Mechanique. It was moved to Pier 45 in 2002.
Is that the place where they have that creepy doll, Laughing Sal?
