"too much pressure in this industry"
"future opportunities,"
"I was here a couple of weeks ago and one of the bartenders told me. I just broke down and cried,"
"I was devastated because this was like my San Francisco home."
21st Amendment taproom at 563 Second St. closed Sept. 28 after lenders withdrew funding, citing industry pressure. The production facility and a San Leandro taproom are expected to close in November. The brewery became known for Hell or High Watermelon and served as a 25-year game-day fixture near Oracle Park. Co-owners Nico Freccia and Shaun O'Sullivan indicated plans to explore future opportunities. Longtime patrons described emotional farewells during the final weekend, calling the tap house a San Francisco home. Regulars recalled the welcoming bartenders, the horseshoe bar in a large warehouse space, and packed crowds on game days.
