There were a few shouts of protest when the announcement came last month that Daly City’s Serra Bowl would be closing after 51 years, but nonetheless it is happening on April 15. It seems with the economy turning around the owners of the property are looking to do something new, and the bowling alley lost its lease. This also means the end of the kitschy, badly lit, faux-brick-walled bar and lounge known as Danno’s 300 Club, with its pitchers of beer and always lively karaoke stage. (As The Bay Bridged notes, the stage has also served as a music venue for local indie-rock acts, but we’ve only ever seen the weekend-karaoke side of things.)
The Bay Bridged has penned a brief obituary for the karaoke bar, and lets us know there will be a closing night party on April 14, at which there won’t be karaoke but there will be a lot of sad songs, we’re sure.
Perhaps the new Mission Bowling Club should consider picking up the karaoke slack…
Why, Lord, WHY?!!!? Our favorite karaoke bar to go down with the ship [The Bay Bridged via Uptown Almanac]
