During the past year and a half, dozens of bars and restaurants in San Francisco have permanently shuttered, unable to withstand the financial strain of temporarily closing. That the Rumpus Room would eventually see this day was not a given. Being back now, sitting at the bar among his friends, felt like a relief. “I kind of assumed everything would close forever,” he said. Roxzann De Marco, owner The Rumpus Room, talks about the re-opening of The Rumpus Room, which had been closed since March 16,2020, on it’s first day back open on Tuesday, July 6, 2021. When he moved to Las Vegas, Amaral had worried that some of his favorite San Francisco establishments might not make it. “We may not have all worked in the same industry or had much in common, but we all loved it here.” “We all became involuntarily connected,” he said of the community that had formed within the bar. He’d flown back to San Francisco just for the Rumpus Room’s reopening day. Mike Amaral, a longtime regular, moved from the Bay Area to Las Vegas in May. Tuesday was his first time being inside a bar without a mask since the pandemic began. It was his after-work drinking spot about four times a week, he said. He’d started coming to this bar when it was under its previous ownership, known as the Showdown, since his office was just around the corner. “It’s my home away from home,” said Erik Parra, who had ordered a beer and a mezcal shot.
Beyond the bar, a spinning disco ball was providing sparkly flashes inside the dim, red-lit room, a dark oasis from the bright afternoon sun outside. Outside, on Sixth Street in SoMa, it might have looked like a regular Tuesday afternoon, but inside the Rumpus Room, it was a full-on celebration - marking the first time this beloved dive bar was reopening since the original COVID-19 shutdown on March 16, 2020.īy 3:30 p.m., a dozen or so people had populated bar seats. They raised their pints of West Coast IPAs to toast the occasion. Old friends embraced, seeing each other for the first time in almost 16 months.
