Agan said that he’s known Ribak “for years,” and that they “grew up in same music scene” in Southern California.
The plan behind the venue (if you’re wondering about the extra “e” in the name, check out this garage rock meets etymology explanation) has been ages in the making. Nosh’s original report on Thee Stork Club, which was published on April 11, is below: And as Agan told me back in April, when the bar was first announced, “I want this to be a place anyone can just go and drink, like, a Harvey Wallbanger and maybe talk to some people they’ve never talked to before. According to Agan, in fact, every night this weekend is sold out, but starting Monday the bar is open with a menu of (as Agan puts it) “trash cocktails” and service seven days a week.Ī weekday visit might be preferable for folks who aren’t quite ready for a night of live music quite yet - a chance to check out what Again and Ribak have done with the space without the pressure of a crowded performance space and singing.

They planned on launching the longstanding Oakland dive bar as a John Waters meets David Lynch meets serial killer’s rec room-style live music venue on July 1, but a failed inspection at the 11th hour put the kibosh on that plan.Īfter the necessary fixes and re-inspections, plus a few shows to “stress test” the venue and staff, however, the “grand opening” is tonight, an already sold-out show hosted by Waters. It’s been a long road to open Thee Stork Club - longer than co-owners Marc Ribak (Mosswood Meltdown) and Billy Joe Agan (Eli’s Mile High Club) expected.
