Beloved Fremont Brewery To Close: Report
New Year's Eve will be the bar's "last hurrah," according to a report by The Mercury News.
FREMONT, CA — A longtime Fremont brewery is getting ready to shut its doors for good after 25 years, according to a report by The Mercury News.
Jack's Brewing Company has been a staple of the community since 1999, and has been referred to by some community members as "the Cheers of Fremont,' after the long-running 20th-century sitcom, according to the report.
The bar was known for its regular open mics, Sunday and Monday night football gatherings, live performances by a wide range of bands and served as a regular meeting place for some community members who liked to use the back room to play games, according to the report.
