"It's been nearly two full years since the Valencia Street nightclub Amado's closed down permanently, and at the time, owner David Quinby told Mission Local that the closure was because of the bike lane. He refers of course to the very controversial center-running bike lane experiment that the SFMTA tried out on Valencia Street, then eventually scrapped after a year and a half, as shops up and down the Valencia corridor said it was destroying their customer foot traffic."
"Amado's has reopened at the exact same 998 Valencia Street location, with a limited-hours soft opening. And as the sandwich board above says, the pool table is back, baybeeeee! View this post on Instagram A post shared by Amado's (@amados998) The reopening apparently happened sometime around mid-July. And as we noted earlier, it's a limited-hours soft reopening that's currently just Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights from 5 pm - midnight."
Amado's on Valencia Street closed for nearly two years amid a controversial SFMTA center-running bike lane experiment and a severe basement flood that caused roughly $500,000 in damage after Pride Weekend 2023. The bike-lane experiment was later scrapped following merchant complaints of reduced customer foot traffic. Amado's has reopened at the same 998 Valencia Street location with a limited soft opening, currently Thursdays through Saturdays with food served only on Fridays and Saturdays. The venue is offering a limited menu (house-made chips and salsa or guac, a quesadilla) and hopes to expand to more weeknight nights; the pool table has returned.
