The Boathouse, a neighborhood bar near Alameda’s marina, has closed. KRON4 reported on the announcement Oct. 30, and Berkeleyside Nosh included the closure in its Thursday roundup.
The bar at 2030 Clement St. announced the shutdown on Instagram Oct. 29, according to the reports. It had served craft beer and casual food, including tacos, grilled cheese and sliders.
Berkeleyside reported that the business had passed through several owners over the years. The closure affects that location; the reports do not establish what will replace it or when another business might open there.
