    We should do a BA Meetup before it sells

    That place looks awesome. Hopefully a new owner will buy and keep the vibe going and great taplist.

    Went to Toro last night, the place was packed. Merch was flying off the shelves too. Felt very much like saying goodbye. Ticked a few new beers, and one last pint of Reality Czeck to see us on our way.

    I guess last year's barleywine fest might've been the last? Bummer

    2013 was my first time at Toronado and I had nothing but Moonlight beers (which was awesome). As I waited to get a seat at the bar, I stood in the same place for about ten minutes or so. Then when a seat became available, as I tried to take a step, my foot was stuck to the ground because of how sticky the floor was. Yep. It’s a dive. And I love it.

    My favorite bar, of any kind, forever. Drank more Reality Czech and Pliny there than you can imagine. Any you guys with deep pockets thinking about it?

    Who ever buys it, this being California, will be surprised by the designation of the toilets as a Superfund site. Years go by.....

    Ya right, she’d be surprised alright. Living in Korea & trying to run Toronado from abroad.

    From their website: "We would like to thank all of our patrons for your many decades of support. Please join us for an epic celebration of the Great American Beer Bar February 7th-16th. Let’s party ’til the taps fall off."

    Does anyone know if they're going to stay open until a sale goes through or are they shutting down after the 16th? The wording here is ambiguous.

    I'll be in SF the following weekend, and it would be a shame to miss out on a (last?) visit to one of my favorite bars by just a few days.

    Yep, me too. Only place I gave all 5's to in my review.

    Have never understood the negative comments about the service. Wait staff there have always been smart, knowledgeable, quick, efficient, generous and kind to my wife (who doesn't drink beer and just hung out with me).

    I’d hope at least until the building is sold and the keys handed over, if not for many, many years following that.
