Badass cocktail/bocce bar in the heart of Oakland

@NASAMars @POTUS I’m on twitter for one reason. Space news. And now I have to unfollow. Shame

Update: They just hit their goal of $25K. The first 5K attendees of the 6/13 game get a shirt upon arrival. Pretty amazing. Again, I’ve never heard of a fan-funded giveaway like this before. https://t.co/GwNjzd2pMH

Hey everyone, we will open tomorrow, Sunday the 22nd at 3pm for the Niners game! Food and drink specials!

@Poohman7200 @henrykleeKTVU @Oakland @TooShort There were so many ways they could have celebrated the diversity of our city (as out staff, regular crowd and bar does) but it shouldn't come at the expense of the livelihoods of Oakland residents. The film could have easily made this right but decided we weren't work speaking to

[Make Westing @MakeWesting]

@Poohman7200 @henrykleeKTVU @Oakland @TooShort It was over two weeks of disruption. Again, we are all supportive of Oakland filming and have been for over 12 years. But if you're making a move about Oakland while destroying Oakland businesses and neighborhoods and then there is a serious issue.

@fruitvalelocal @FxxymssLady @henrykleeKTVU @KTVU @Oakland @TooShort Thank You for empathizing.

We are trying our best and have no ally’s except the press. But we are definitely all having nervous breakdowns.

@oak_zd @Elmanogonsalves @jakedecker @_LeighM_O @henrykleeKTVU @KTVU @Oakland @TooShort All true

[Make Westing @MakeWesting]

@Elmanogonsalves @jakedecker @_LeighM_O @henrykleeKTVU @KTVU @Oakland @TooShort @carroll_fife Not a thing. The city ignores us entirely. They do no care whatsoever. And uptown businesses barely have enough money to keep the doors open let alone pay to clean up the station. Not do we have the bandwidth as we’re all burnt out saving our businesses, it’s jobs and community.

@WokeyDokey777 @Elmanogonsalves @_LeighM_O @jakedecker @henrykleeKTVU @KTVU @Oakland @TooShort Absolute truth. We have no leaders at a loca or national level. We are lost and small businesses pay the price. Beyond disappointing.

[Make Westing @MakeWesting]

@Elmanogonsalves @_LeighM_O @jakedecker @henrykleeKTVU @KTVU @Oakland @TooShort Nope! Our Councilmember was initially helping and then suddenly ghosted us as did Oakland permitting. They simply do not care and don’t seem to care whatsoever about uptown businesses and Oakland is going to pay the price. Infuriating.

@SonomaScanners @henrykleeKTVU @KTVU @TooShort @Oakland @ForNenna @FeelmoreAdult You have no idea what you’re talking about. The whole point is we were never notified (but I guess you missed that). We went to Oakland and the film as soon as we realized what was happening and told to F off. We did everything possible and the media was our only option/ally left

@BigTPopo1 @Teyrovsky @henrykleeKTVU @KTVU @TooShort @Oakland @ForNenna @FeelmoreAdult @dannoyes @DanAshleyABC7 @DionLimTV @abc7newsbayarea @kron4news @KPIXtv @BettyKPIX @RyanCoogler As much responsible for this malfeasance as the film!

[Make Westing @MakeWesting]

@iKungPao @henrykleeKTVU @TooShort @Oakland @ForNenna @FeelmoreAdult @KTVU That too. Oakland is falling apart at the seams.

[Make Westing @MakeWesting]

@Elmanogonsalves @jakedecker @_LeighM_O @henrykleeKTVU @KTVU @Oakland @TooShort It’s a joke. The city spent millions on that station and now it’s just trash. They spent millions revitalizing the neighborhood and now it’s all going backward. Oakland is cutting off its nose despite its face regarding this “film.”
