跟进：旧金山华埠红屋酒吧拟延至12月关门：约50万美元改造费难承担
位于美国加利福尼亚州旧金山县旧金山市华埠 Jackson Street 与 Grant Avenue 交界处的红屋酒吧（Red's Place）即将关门，结业时间可能延至12月。据 SFGATE 与 NBC 湾区报道，业主 Jerry Chan 表示，保险公司与房东要求的改造费用合计约50万美元，酒吧难以承担。
Chan 说，商业保险公司10月初来信要求进行强制性升级，包括管道、电气、结构与地下室工程；房东另要求符合无障碍规则，需拓宽入口并增建无障碍洗手间。他原计划10月底关门，后希望延至12月，以便员工继续工作，最终关门日期将公布在酒吧的社交媒体上。
红屋自称华埠最老的酒吧，其历史可追溯至上世纪60年代初，一则1938年的旧广告也曾提到该店供应鸡尾酒、中式叉烧和排骨。Chan 的父母 Herman Chan 与 Lisa Chan 于1990年买下这家酒吧，Chan 于2010年接手；红屋也是农历新年期间街头爆竹庆祝活动的聚集地。第三区市议员 Danny Sauter 表示，听到关门消息感到难过，并曾提出协助，但 Chan 表示费用实在难以负担。

Follow-up: San Francisco Chinatown's Red's Place May Stay Open Into December as $500K in Required Upgrades Force Closure
Red's Place, the bar at Jackson Street and Grant Avenue in the Chinatown of San Francisco, San Francisco County, California, is closing, and its final day may be pushed into December. According to SFGATE and NBC Bay Area, owner Jerry Chan says upgrades required by his insurer and landlord would cost about $500,000 in total, more than the bar can bear.
Chan said his commercial insurer wrote in early October requiring mandatory upgrades covering plumbing, electrical, structural and basement work, while the landlord also requires ADA compliance, including a wider entrance and an accessible restroom. He first planned to close at the end of October but now hopes to stay open into December so staff can keep working; the final date will be posted on the bar's social media.
Red's bills itself as Chinatown's oldest bar, dating to the early 1960s, though a 1938 advertisement also mentioned the spot serving cocktails, Chinese barbecue pork and spare ribs. Chan's parents, Herman and Lisa Chan, bought the bar in 1990 and he took over in 2010; the bar is also a gathering point for Lunar New Year firecracker celebrations. District 3 Supervisor Danny Sauter said he was gutted by the news and had offered help, but Chan said the cost was simply not doable.
