Taps is Moving: Where Should the Pub Go?
Taps has been without hot food service for nearly a week and is in a dispute with its landlord.
It hasn't been able to serve hot food for almost a week, and now local bar Taps is looking for a new location.
The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports the pub's kitchen exhaust hood failed after a busy lunch and now the owner of the bar and the owner of the hotel where it's located disagree about who should pay to fix it.
“He [Terry Andrews, the owner of Hotel Petaluma since last year] is basically forcing us to look for a new space,” Taps owner Eric Lafranchi told the Press Democrat. “We feel comfortable going somewhere else. With the awesome customer base we have, we feel like we can set up shop anywhere and people will trust our vision.”
Andrews said he's also comfortable with the pub packing up and leaving, and may convert the space back into an entrance to the hotel, as it was originally, according to the Press Democrat.
Taps is currently located at 205 Kentucky St., in the first floor of the Hotel Petaluma.
