Which Fresno restaurants are closed or under new owners? Some have changed focus
The Enchanted Pour opened its upstairs speakeasy, Sin and Satin, in Fresno’s Tower District at the beginning of June. Five months later, the speakeasy announced it was closing, with its last day on Nov. 18. It’s one of several Central Valley restaurants and food or drink operations that have closed, are closing or have switched hands over the last few weeks. Under new ownership Doll’s Kitchen , a Fresno soul food brand that operates a food truck outside the Chevron at 5566 E. Kings Canyon Rd., announced Oct. 21 that the business acquired Rhapsody’s Restaurant , a soul food restaurant. Rhapsody’s Restaurant opened at 3209 W. Shaw Ave., Ste. 105, in September 2020. Doll’s Kitchen confirmed through a Facebook post that it will continue to operate the food truck and the restaurant, and that additional changes are coming. “We’re bringing two of Fresno’s favorite soul food spots together under one family — same flavors, same heart, even more soul,” Doll’s Kitchen posted. Closed or temporarily closed Craft 99 Pizza , a Detroit-style pizzeria at 585 W. Nees Ave. Ste. #123 in north Fresno, temporarily closed earlier this month and took its website offline. The restaurant offered no explanation on why,

Sunsets, craft cocktails, shareable plates: Check out Fresno's hidden rooftop bar
Quail State has a deck that can see miles of downtown Fresno. Someone walking on Fulton Street could be forgiven for missing the bar’s entrance. Quail State is an upscale cocktail bar and lounge on the second floor of the historic Pacific Southwest Building . There’s a board out front of the building that lets people know they need to go inside, and from there it’s a quick ride in the rich wood-paneled elevator to the building’s second floor, where the bar and its deck are located. Mandip Singh and Amritpaul Singh (no relation) bought Quail State in 2023, but it was first founded by Josh and Hayley Islas-Wolf in 2021. When Mandip and Amritpaul took the bar over, they decided they wanted to create more of a community aspect and added a food menu, as well as almost-daily events focused on art and socializing. “It’s not a club vibe,” Mandip said. “It’s for all age groups.” People can either get shareables or a full meal, depending on what they’re in the mood for, with options including pizza, pasta, salads and wings (Quail State makes their own lemon pepper sauce in-house), but one particular appetizer came highly recommended from bartender

Guadalajara ‘coming soon' to this Fresno corner. What it means for restaurant's fans
Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant’s “coming soon” sign at Olive and Fowler avenues has some people in Fresno buzzing. What is the popular restaurant planning? A permanent food truck. The restaurant, with its longtime location on Weber Avenue, plans to park a food truck on the property of Fresno Roofing Co., near the southwest corner. It will be open from about 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day except Tuesday, said Richard Garcia, part of the family that owns the restaurant. Garcia’s brother-in-law is manager at Fresno Roofing. “The owners always come to the restaurant and eats, and they’re always like, ‘Why don’t you set up your trailer there?’” So they made it happen. The food truck will have the same menu as the 38-year-old restaurant, including Guadalajara’s popular chile verde plate with rice and beans. Tacos, fajitas and the camarones a la diabla, a spicy shrimp dish, will be on the menu. All the dishes will have homemade tortillas too. Breakfast burritos will be available for morning commuters, along with family dinners for the after-work crowd. Exactly when the truck will open is still up in the air. The family has had the truck for a while, but haven’t used it
