That’s right, the rumors are true. Chicken John has sold The Odeon Bar. SFist’s Jackson West just broke the story to the stunned residents of San Francisco. We have know about this for a while, but have been waiting for some kind of official announcement from Chicken. I just spoke with him and he said that he’ll be sending over a write-up in the next few days, which we will post here. Until then, you might want to make a few more trips to our little clubhouse in The Mission and definitely make sure to catch another installment of Ask Dr. Hal while you still can (in fact there’s one tonight). It’s then end of an era and I’m sure the beginning of something equally unique and chaotic in the Chicken John timeline.

Ask Dr. Hal

Now I just have to find a new home for our squids.
