Berkeley's Pappy's Grill & Sports Bar has liquor license suspended after selling alcohol to minors

It's cool, everyone went there for the food.

Well, Alex Popov always came across as a hard man to like. If you're curious check out the Up For Grabs documentary about the Barry Bonds 73rd home run ball and all the hijinx afterwards.

Wow, it's cool that SFGate is running Daily Cal articles.

Alex has apparently sold the place. We went there on Sunday before the game, and there was an ABC change of ownership sign on the door along with the notice of the license suspension. The current suspension is indefinite, which doesn't really matter, since the new owner has to get their own license, I believe. The ABC's spies are everywhere.

So anyone remember what happened with Raleigh's when it became Manny's Tap room? I presume it was a similar situation... I think it was late 2000's... it was Manny's Tap Room (with a sign that looked like a 2nd grader designed it) for less than a year, then went back to Raleigh's same original sign and all. I figured somehow the change in management was mostly fictitious and it was a way to scrub their sub-optimal liquor license history.

The food was an afterthought. Never liked the place. Blakes was much better. No one wants to make decent food. All they want to do is sell overbpriced alcohol.

Yeah, Manny's was a slight change but the place was the same, same deal probably gonna happen with Pappy's since they only have 6 months to get everything straightened out.

new rule: you can't talk about the turducken burger until you go back sober

I drank at the Rat as a senior in high school in '72. I am a bad person.
