Kathiew House
Kathiew House shared on Instagram that the weekly weekend pop-up will be closed until further notice. The owner, Phoeun Pen, told KTVU that, while she was at work, someone broke into her home, stole property, and assaulted her son. Kathiew House, which started as a home business, is known for Cambodian beef noodle soup. Kathiew House at A&R market on 3615 Foothill Blvd., Oakland
Oak-Dar
Thanks to Oaklandside reader Keith, we learned that Oak-Dar, a cafe in downtown Oakland next to DeLauer’s, is closed. A sign on the window states both that the location is closed, and that it is moving. They also note that their coffees and teas are still available every Saturday at the Grand Lake Farmers Market.

Pour Manners Izakaya
On Friday, July 24, Pour Manners Izakaya, a popular Oakland-based pop-up, announced on Instagram that it would be shutting down indefinitely. “With a heavy heart, I’m sad to announce we will be pausing all Pour Manners operations for the foreseeable future to focus on some personal matters and recalibrate the business,” reads in the part the message from Boi Soth, chef and founder. Pour Manners was frequently found at Room 389 and is known for its charcoal grilled skewers and Japanese tapas.
Match Point Brewing
This will be the final weekend for Match Point Brewing in Albany, which will close permanently after service on July 26. The taproom opened in 2024 in a space adjacent to 310 Eatery. However, the taproom was unable to reach a new agreement on the sublease, co-owner Simon Chen wrote in an email to Nosh. “We will be closing this weekend with a Last Call Taproom Party. We are glad the World Cup happened at times where everyone could enjoy the game,” Chen said, adding that Match Point Brews will still be sold at many local restaurants and shops including Berkeley Bowl and El Cerrito Natural Grocery.” Match Point Brewing, 745 San Pablo Ave, Albany, CA
