I have not seen anyone mention it, but Balcony Bistro shut their doors four months ago.

I hate to see businesses fail, but they had a rep for bad service.

There's going to be a really great local business moving into Balcony Bistro's location pretty soon.

Do tell!

Do tell!

I just realized 718 Sutter St. has multiple spaces so it may not be the old Balcony Street Bistro location but within the same building (not sure).

I don't wanna steal his thunder so I'll let him make the announcement when things are ready, he's a member on here - next time you're on Sutter Street, go see the sign that's in the window at 718 Sutter, Suite J and that'll tell you what's going in.

I'll spill the beans...

Lockdown has entered into a lease agreement for the bar space on the second floor of the Gas Light Building.

We will be opening it up as a tasting room for all our wares. Minors will be welcome and we will have our root beer and floats available as well as free pretzels and other snacks available to purchase.

I suspect we will be ready to open before the ABC licensing and the City C.U.P. processes are complete....I would think those would be complete by the end of August.

Congrats Roberto! Will you be closing the Rancho Cordova spot? Is my beer card good at the new location?

[robert@lockdown]

Rancho Room will remain open W-F 4-8pm. People actually like that atmoshpere. The beer cards are only valid at the Rancho Room for tap beer. We will not be offering beer cards at the Sutter room as it will be an entirely different price point, still very resonable price point, but different. We will be offering a beer club limited to 100 members at a time that will be a 50% off value plus more.
