The County of Alameda has recently ordered all non-essential businesses to shut down for a few weeks to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. Accordingly, both the Heart & Dagger Saloon and Amplifier in Oakland must close their doors during this time. The bar, restaurant, hospitality, and nightlife industries are taking huge financial hits because of the required closures as "working from home" is not an option.

The closure of these businesses will cause huge financial hardship for our employees as all will be unable to earn either hourly wages or gratuities during the shut down. We are asking for your help. If you enjoy patronizing either the Heart & Dagger Saloon or Amplifier, please consider donating to this fund. All proceeds will be divided among all staff members at both bars and donated directly to them. These funds will help our employees pay rent and bills, buy food for themselves and their families, and stay afloat during this time.

Any amount helps! We are so very grateful to be part of the Oakland community and look forward to serving you all again soon!
