SAN FRANCISCO -- For sixteen years, Monk's Kettle has been a destination for craft beer enthusiasts on 16th Street in the Mission District. But as the neighborhood's dynamics shift, it's time to bid farewell, says manager Yomo Daweu.'Pretty sad to be leaving, but just the way that business is going in the Mission these days, the out-flux of people from this area in particular has made foot traffic die maybe a quarter of what it was,' explained Daweu.
or have been pushed out because of all the tech boom and guess what? The rent is still up,' explains Daweu. One of those loyal patrons, Christian Lester from San Carlos, reflected on his connection to Monk's Kettle. 'I was surprised - well, not super surprised because business has been bad. There's been times when Yomo and I are the only people here, and he has three customers in a day or something. So I feel sad for them, and I still will go over there,' shared Lester.
