Legendary Mission Bar Amnesia Is Closing - Eater SF

"Mission Local reports that Amnesia, a Valencia Street bar that since 2000 has been home to a host of live music acts and an extensive craft beer list, will close "indefinitely starting in early March." The news was echoed by an Amnesia employee who, when contacted by Eater SF, said of the closure "yes, sad to say." Former owner Shawn Magee sold Amnesia to City Beer Store owners (and Bay Area “power couple”) Craig and Beth Wathen in 2015, saying at the time that "AMNESIA IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE. It is being passed into capable hands, people who I believe will try their best to keep the integrity of this place." It will reportedly "close its doors for a few months for a 'revamp,' but may not use the entertainment license in the future." - Eve Batey
