The Phoenix Irish Bar & Restaurant

"After five years of making its way through the San Francisco permitting process, a new apartment building is set to rise on Valencia Street, which means Irish pub the Phoenix will soon head off into the sunset. Phoenix owner Eugene Power confirmed the long-running bar’s last day of service is Super Bowl Sunday, February 12, calling the closure “bittersweet.”" - Dianne de Guzman

"The Phoenix Inn, Valencia Street’s go-to haunt for cheap steak fries and draughts of beer, closed on February 12 after more than 20 years in service." - Paolo Bicchieri

"The Phoenix in the Mission will soon be no longer. The owner of the Irish pub received permits last week that clear the way for the current building to be demolished to make way for the construction of a six-story, mixed-use building in its place, Hoodline reports." - Dianne de Guzman
