A popular San Francisco arcade and bar will not be reopening.

Coin-Op at 4th & Bryant St. has announced it is shuttering for good.

SFGate reports that the closure was due to the ongoing pandemic and the 10,000 sq. ft., two-story space is up for sale. Coin-Op featured classic arcade games, pinball, cocktails and free games on the last Sunday of each month. It also had a secret 'TRON'-inspired speakeasy.

Coin-Op's co-owner, Kingston Wu, purchased some of the games and hopes to one day revive some element of what made the venue special.

The location had been open since 2016.
