Four years without Specs today. We miss you madly!

WOW! In just two days we have reached almost $2,000 in our fundraiser. Thank you endlessly to our friends, family and patrons of Specs for the immense support. If you haven't yet, please check it out below and give what you can or share with a friend <3 We are eternally grateful for your help in this difficult time. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-specs-bar-survive-shutdown-

Hey y’all, unfortunately because of @gofundme’s updates our old fundraiser is no longer accepting donations. We’ve created a new one to ask for your help in the final months *hopefully* of our closure into reopening. Every little bit helps, and will go directly to utility bills, rent, employee healthcare, repairs and safety preparedness for COVID, inventory and getting our staff back on payroll when the time comes. Thank you so, so much for your support these passed seven months. Honestly just damn proud and hopeful that we are still standing love to you, thank you again and don’t forget to VOTE! #specsbarsf #Covidrelief #smallbusiness #shuttered #northbeach #sf #divebar #historicbar #fundraiser #wateringhole https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-specs-bar-survive-shutdown-

To our North Beach community and beyond, We hope you are doing well in this crazy climate and wishing you a lovely beginning of Fall. We wanted to give you a little update on what's going on at Specs, as we are beginning to see more and more businesses around us opening for outdoor dining. Unfortunately at this time for a number of reasons we are not in the position to take the risk with outdoor dining. With restaurants reopening indoors this month in San Francisco, we feel h...opeful that bars will be close behind but there is no confirmed date and we are potentially looking at early next year. Right now, we are focused on preserving Specs for the long haul and ensuring that we will be able to be here for you when bars do reopen indoors again. So, we apologize that we are unable to provide outdoor dining at this time but we hope that you will continue to support us in all the ways you have been so far. You can donate again to our GoFundMe - all donations are going directly to our rent, utilities, healthcare for our employees and bookkeeping expenses (and eventually, inventory, reopening costs and getting everyone back on payroll). https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-specs039-bar-survive-shutdo You can also purchase an e-gift card on our website SpecsBarSF.com which will be redeemable upon our reopening. We have limited Specs face masks and Al's Attire x Specs beverage masks as well as two books, 'Tables From The Rubble' by Denise Clifton and a photo book on Specs' 86th birthday by Dennis Hearne available on our website too! If you made it this far, THANK YOU for reading and supporting. We miss you dearly and we WILL make it through this! Cheers, Maralisa & Elly (and the Specs crew) Follow us online! Instagram @specsbarsf ***UPDATE: We now have a new fundraiser because of GoFundMe's updates. You may donate to the new one below. Thank you so much <3

We are honored to have our place painted by the wonderful @emilylfromm! she will be auctioning off the original piece this weekend as a contribution to our fundraiser (see her post below), and following that prints will be available with partial sales going directly to our GoFundMe as well As we continue to remain shuttered this support means an immense amount to us! Check out Emily’s other work over on her page, and thank you Emily for showing up for us in this awesom...e way! #Repost @emilylfromm with @get_repost SNEAK PEEK! Two more fundraiser paintings of beloved SF dive bars @specsbarsf and @sflucky13 will be up for auction (separately) this Friday - Sunday starting at $100 each. 100% of funds raised will be donated to the businesses as usual, and there will be a print run to follow. These will be my last two fundraiser auctions for a while as I’ve run myself just a little bit ragged raising money locally this year while also preparing for a solo exhibition with @stolenspacegallery in London, which opens this November More on that next week, but first let’s support some irreplaceable local SF establishments!!!!
