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,

City attorney cleared over confirmation of candidate's DUI to media; questions remain
The investigations that the Fresno city attorney and a councilmember called for against each other over the handling of a candidate’s DUI charge were closed by city council in closed session last week without explanation. A short, joint statement from the Fresno City Council said City Attorney Andrew Janz did not violate any policies when he confirmed to media that council candidate Naindeep Singh had been arrested on suspicion of DUI a week before the Nov. 3 election, and that the matter was now closed. The unusual, unsigned, two-sentence statement on council letterhead was released on Monday, but it did not include how or when the council reached that conclusion. Kevin Little — an attorney representing Singh — told The Bee that his client still believes a thorough and unbiased investigation should be conducted into why he was arrested and then information of the arrest disclosed. At a press conference last week, Singh and Little called for Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office to get involved. “We are interested in facts, not bare conclusions,” Little said. “We have submitted exhaustive requests for public records and hope that those requests result in the disclosure of the requested information, since apparently now the

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

Store closings, bankruptcy. What to know about The Children's Place in Fresno area
The future is looking bleak for The Children’s Place stores in and around Fresno. Workers at the Fashion Fair mall store say it’s shutting down and giant “store closing” signs hang from the ceiling, though the company has not officially confirmed it is closing. The future of locations at Visalia Mall and Hanford Mall is unclear. Both locations are holding liquidation sales. The New Jersey-based company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Sunday. The kids clothing retailer is attempting to survive the bankruptcy, looking for a new owner to buy it before the end of the year. Announcements of store closures are coming, according to an email from a company spokesperson. The message said: “At this time, all of our stores and e-commerce sites remain open and continue to serve customers. With that said, The Children’s Place has determined that it will be necessary to close certain stores during this process. As such, we are conducting an ongoing evaluation of our operational footprint and will communicate confirmed decisions as they are made.” The mall retailer’s revenue fell 18.9% in its most recent financial quarter compared to the same time last year. The Children’s Place took on “huge” levels of debt, some
