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.
"This means we, like so many others, have made the heartbreaking decision to close."
Gallanagh, an Ireland native, opened the pub in 2017 and served "home cooked cuisine" accompanied by a massive selection of whiskeys, KRON 4 reported. It won several awards while it was open, including East Bay’s Best Irish Pub, and Oakland’s Best Cocktails, according to its website.
