A little over a year after original owner Melissa Myers sold the neighborhood beer bar and bottle shop the Good Hop to two of its best customers, it is closing its doors. The bar announced its closure on Instagram after more than a decade in Oakland.
Adam Clark, a former Good Hop bartender, and their partner, Monica White, a loyal regular at the Uptown Oakland bar and shop, took over the Good Hop from Myers in September 2024.
“We want to continue the incredible legacy that Melissa started,” White told Nosh at the time.
In the Instagram post, the couple cited “insurmountable challenges” as the reason for the closure.
“We will surely miss our little community that we are madly in love with. We are so grateful for everyone who supported us through the years and made this place what it became. Some of the best moments of our lives happened right here. This is so hard, the end of an era,” says the post. The final day of service is December 31. The Good Hop is located at 2421 Telegraph Ave. (at 24th St.) in Oakland.
