OK, this qualifies as a “stop the presses!” moment.

The shuttered restaurant inside Oakland’s most famous building, the landmark Tribune Tower, will reopen this fall, chef-restaurateur Chris Pastena has announced on Facebook.

Pastena and wife Jana, who own Lungomare, Calavera and Chop Bar, had opened the Tribune Tavern on the ground floor of the historic newspaper building in 2013. But a thicket of legal issues involving the building’s owner led to the restaurant’s closing in early 2017.

“We were able to open the acclaimed Calavera since this time,” Pastena wrote, “but have always had an intense love in our hearts and minds for the Tribune Tavern.”

He added: “As two people who came up through the ranks of the restaurant industry, we had a vision of creating good jobs for Oaklanders. For my wife that meant giving back to a community that gave her family so much and for me that meant dedicating my life to being a part of the Oakland community.”

Now, Pastena says, the building’s new owners, Harvest Partners, want him to reopen the tavern.

“They saw and understood the creative and artistic vision we had for the original Tribune Tavern. Harvest has been a great partner and put together a fully financed package to get us back our beloved treasure!!”

He said he expects the tavern — “in all its original glory” — to reopen this autumn.
