A San Francisco retro arcade and bar has reopened after a fire Saturday closed the business for two days, a partner said today.
“We are back up and running,” partner Shawn Vergara said of his business Brewcade, located at 2200 Market St.
Vergara said the business reopened Tuesday at 5 p.m. and he doesn’t expect the fire will cause any long-term loss of business. Brewcade lost revenue for a few days, something he said insurance will cover.
The fire started at about 7:30 p.m. Saturday in a wall between Brewcade and the Mexican restaurant Hecho, according to Brewcade. The San Francisco Fire Department confirmed the fire was in a wall.
According to the fire department, radiant heat from an oven in the Mexican restaurant started the fire.
Fire department spokeswoman Mindy Talmadge said the fire caused about $1,500 in damage to the 2200 Market St. property, a multi-unit building.
Talmadge said the fire is considered accidental.
Fire officials said the fire was under control in about 45 minutes and no one was injured.
