San Francisco Bay Area Restaurants, Bars, and Cafes That Closed in May 2024 - Eater SF
"Sister businesses Good Luck Gato and Ninth Life have closed in Oakland as of May 11. The two businesses took over the Hopscotch space in the fall of 2023 with grand plans — Good Luck Gato was an “izakaya cantina” with Japanese-Mexican dishes and drinks, while Ninth Life was a ‘90s-themed cocktail bar — but shuttered after less than a year. Co-owner Matthew Meyer blamed high costs and low foot traffic. “Please support small businesses,” a statement about the closure reads in part. “Leave your house, let us cook for you, get another round. The restaurant industry needs you.”" - Dianne de Guzman
