Its last day of business was Super Bowl Sunday on February 8. The Athletic Club Oakland, 59 Grand Ave., Oakland.
Attraros Thai Eatery
The Thai restaurant in the Swan’s Marketplace building in Old Oakland has closed.

The restaurant was open for two years, and was operated by Akara Sutraromluck and Pim Soithong of Pintoh Thai in Oakland, which is still open. A note in the window reads, in part, “ From time to time, we’ll be bringing back beloved Attraros dishes as special features at Pintoh, so a little piece of Attraros lives on.” Attraros Thai Eatery, 542 9th St., Suite B, Oakland.
