The Baltic Kiss, a restaurant and music venue in Point Richmond, has permanently closed following significant financial challenges in 2025. Despite a public fundraising campaign that raised only $11,661 of its $100,000 goal and benefit concerts, the establishment could not recover from debts including approximately $30,000 in back rent. Property manager Daniel Butt indicated that legal troubles included employee complaints about unpaid wages. Additionally, the venue was unable to maintain necessary insurance, leading to its eviction and closure.
...Butt told Nosh in an email, adding that, after the Baltic Kiss acquired the necessary insurance to operate earlier in the year, the policy was canceled for nonpayment a few weeks ago.
We never saw a penny of the $30k owed, Butt told Nosh in an email, adding that... Baltic Kiss had not been carrying legally required insurance coverage for the business...
