Final Final

Sports Bars in San Francisco Are Drafting New Game Plans | Eater SF

"A family-run Baker Street sports bar operated by Arnold Prien and his family since 1978, Final Final was forced to close because it isn’t classified as a restaurant by the state ABC, but the Priens were recently allowed to partner with Papa Murphy’s Take ‘N’ Bake to reopen for walk-up pizza and sell sealed beer and wine; patrons still can’t go inside. The family is fortunate enough financially to weather the shutdown, plans to offer all 10 laid-off employees their jobs back as operations resume, and says outdoor seating would be a "10 out of 10." They’re cautious about ramping back up—wanting clear city guidelines and not to overorder inventory—but believe their spacious footprint could allow distancing and that, with leagues limiting in-stadium fans, sports returning could be good for bars if they maximize available space." - Shane Downing
