Kingfish Bar Oakland Re-Opening

I must admit that I spent many evenings in the 1990s at the Fish. I was such a fan, I even had a Kingfish t-shirt. I played my first game of shuffleboard here and had some memorable nights with great friends. It was run-down and in a terrible, out of the way location. But it had charm, history, and cheap beers.

Frankly, it had been so long since I'd stepped foot in there, I didn't realize that it was closed. But thankfully, it is re-opening on Saturday. It seems this real estate implosion has a silver lining after all.
