The Ramp in Mission Bay in Rent Dispute With Port of San Francisco Over $779K Debt

[ad_1]

The owner of the Ramp and its adjacent boatyard, San Francisco Boatworks, is attempting to negotiate a rent relief package and lease renewal with the Port of San Francisco after receiving a 30-day “notice to cure lease default” on March 11, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Owner Arvind Patel allegedly owes $779,151 to the port after not paying rent since March 2020, and is not “in good standing” due to noise violations and unsanctioned renovations on the restaurant, according to the notice.

Already, Patel gives the port 6.75% of sales for the Ramp and 8.75% for the boatyard; he argues he’s paying a much higher percentage than docks larger in size than San Francisco Boatworks. Patel proposed paying $182,000 in back rent, along with 6.7% in sales, and splitting the leases of the restaurant and boatyard. The port says the negotiations with Patel are still ongoing.

Snail Bar owner announces new bar called Slug

Speaking of new locations, the San Francisco Chronicle has the news that owner Andres Giraldo Florez of Snail Bar in Oakland has plans to open a new bar in the Town called Slug. Slug is slated for a ground level space at 102 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, and will have natural wine and food options, much like Snail Bar; the major difference between the two, however, is the addition of live music, thanks to a cabaret permit. Florez hopes to open the doors by July.
