The Enchanted Pour opened its upstairs speakeasy, Sin and Satin, in Fresno’s Tower District at the beginning of June.
Five months later, the speakeasy announced it was closing, with its last day on Nov. 18.
It’s one of several Central Valley restaurants and food or drink operations that have closed, are closing or have switched hands over the last few weeks.

Doll’s Kitchen, a Fresno soul food brand that operates a food truck outside the Chevron at 5566 E. Kings Canyon Rd., announced Oct. 21 that the business acquired Rhapsody’s Restaurant, a soul food restaurant.
Rhapsody’s Restaurant opened at 3209 W. Shaw Ave., Ste. 105, in September 2020. Doll’s Kitchen confirmed through a Facebook post that it will continue to operate the food truck and the restaurant, and that additional changes are coming.
“We’re bringing two of Fresno’s favorite soul food spots together under one family — same flavors, same heart, even more soul,” Doll’s Kitchen posted.
Closed or temporarily closed
Craft 99 Pizza, a Detroit-style pizzeria at 585 W. Nees Ave. Ste. #123 in north Fresno, temporarily closed earlier this month and took its website offline. The restaurant offered no explanation on why, i but a recording on the business’s phone line said that “exciting new changes are in the works,” and the business would be sharing more soon.
T Boba & Bites at 123 N. Maple St. is also changing hands again. The boba spot closed in late September, almost a year after the store announced it was changing ownership in November 2025. In a social media post, the outgoing owner said that the store was closing to help transition to the new ownership team, which will be bringing in Lao food as part of the menu.
T Boba & Bites was originally founded in May 2024. T Boba & Bites does expect to reopen.
Downtown Oak at Kern and L streets closed in August. The little sandwich shop that opened in 2023 had funding issues, said owner Faviola Avelar.
The business is for sale. Avelar hopes to reopen elsewhere.
