旧金山华埠老字号酒吧宣布结业：Red's Place 结束逾六十年历史
位于加利福尼亚州旧金山县旧金山市华埠 Jackson 街672号的老字号酒吧 Red's Place 将永久结业，结束逾六十年的营业历史。Red's Place 自1963年开业，自称是华埠最老的酒吧，一直是华埠社区几代人的聚会地。
店主 Jerry Chan 通过 Instagram 发布的一段 NBC Bay Area 采访预告视频宣布了这一消息，他在视频中说：“旧金山，Red's 要关门了。”据 NBC Bay Area 报道，该店最快将于10月底关门。Chan 没有说明结业原因。
1990年，Jerry Chan 的父母 Herman 与 Lisa Chan 夫妇买下这家店，此后由家族经营至今。据 Red's Place 官网介绍，这栋建筑历史悠久：19世纪末曾先后做过理发店、雪茄店和酒馆（saloon）；酒吧地下室至今保留着当年地下博彩业时代的出纳窗口，现已不对顾客开放。Red's Place 多年来还参与华埠的年度庆祝活动，在 Jackson 街燃放鞭炮。
Jerry Chan 曾在2017年接受《旧金山纪事报》（San Francisco Chronicle）采访时表示，他致力于把这家店开下去。他当时说：“我还在这里。这座城市变化很快，这是我们不想失去的东西之一。”

San Francisco Chinatown Landmark Red's Place to Close: The Neighborhood's Oldest Bar Ends a Run of More Than 60 Years
Red's Place, the longtime bar at 672 Jackson Street in Chinatown in San Francisco, San Francisco County, California, will close permanently, ending more than six decades in business. Open since 1963, Red's Place has described itself as the oldest bar in Chinatown and has served as a gathering place for generations of the Chinatown community.
Owner Jerry Chan announced the news in a teaser for an interview with NBC Bay Area posted on Instagram. “San Francisco, Red's is closing,” Chan said. NBC Bay Area reported the bar could close as early as the end of October. Chan did not share a reason for the closure.
The bar was bought in 1990 by Jerry Chan's parents, Herman and Lisa Chan, and has been run by the family since. According to the bar's website, the building has a long history: it housed a barber shop in the late 1800s, followed by a cigar store and a saloon. The bar's basement, now closed to patrons, still holds teller booths dating back to the neighborhood's underground gambling past. Red's has also taken part in Chinatown's annual celebrations, with a firecracker show on Jackson Street.
In a 2017 interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, Jerry Chan reflected on the city's changes and said he was committed to keeping the bar open. “I'm still here,” he said. “This city is changing rapidly, and this is one thing we don't want to lose.”
