""The history, the atmosphere, and the community have to remain intact," Keene said in a statement about the latest sale. "I want to properly pass the torch.""
"New owner Lewis said in a statement, "It is an honor to become the new owner of Toronado, and I look forward to sustaining it for the next 40 years.""
Toronado, a beloved bar, has been sold to Bill Lewis, a longtime San Francisco resident and regular patron. The sale comes after a previous deal with a crypto enthusiast fell through. Owner Dave Keene emphasized the importance of maintaining the bar's history and community atmosphere. Lewis, alongside his brother-in-law Wall Pringle, aims to preserve the bar's identity and staff, with no planned changes. Toronado, opened in 1987, is known for its craft beer culture and annual events like the Barleywine Festival.
