Twin Peaks, the sports bar famously known as a rival to Hooters, has just closed the doors of its last remaining California location-and fans are not taking it lightly.
After nearly a decade of slinging cold beers, comfort food, and eye-popping uniforms, the Sacramento spot located in Arden Arcade has officially shut down, marking the end of the chain’s footprint in the state. The news came out of nowhere, dropping like a bomb via an emotional Instagram post that thanked customers for their loyalty over the years.
The message from Twin Peaks Sacramento read, “To our fans, we thank you for nearly 10 years of joining us for the food, fun, cold beer & sports. It’s with a heavy heart that we must share that Twin Peaks Sacramento is now permanently closed. Thank you and be well.” And just like that, it was over.
Regulars were blindsided. Social media lit up with sad and shocked comments. One fan wrote, “I don’t wanna find a new football spot!” while another added, “Such a bummer. Was a great place to get a cold beer and talk with the locals and ladies. Best of luck to all! Gonna miss Moona and Claudia, Alex and Sabrina good luck towards the future gang!!!” Some were especially upset about the suddenness of it all, noting that there wasn’t even a final send-off.
The closure comes amid a rough time for many restaurant chains and retail businesses trying to find their footing in a post-COVID world. Several companies have gone under or trimmed down dramatically to stay afloat. JoAnn Fabrics and Crafts is shutting all 800 of its stores after two bankruptcy filings. Liberated Brands is pulling the plug on 122 stores tied to iconic labels like Quiksilver, Billabong, and Volcom. Forever 21 axed hundreds of jobs and shut down its headquarters, and Macy’s is still in the middle of a massive restructuring.
Even Hooters, the OG of the ‘breastaurant’ niche, is feeling the pressure. Earlier this year, it announced the closure of 30 locations in major states including Florida, Georgia, Michigan, and Texas. That announcement also shocked fans, as Hooters had made no previous indication of plans to shrink its operations. A spokesperson confirmed that the closures were part of “evaluating the company’s operational footprint,” but insisted the brand was here to stay through a shift to a franchise-only model.
Twin Peaks hasn’t shared the specific reason for the Sacramento closure, but with industry trends pointing to inflation, labor costs, and changing consumer behavior, it’s not hard to guess. What’s clear is that the bar was a local favorite, and its absence will be felt, especially by regulars who made it their weekend ritual for sports, cold drinks, and lively conversation.
Currently, Twin Peaks still operates nearly 100 locations across the U.S., with most of them concentrated in Texas, the South, Southwest, and Midwest. But its California exit raises questions about whether more cuts are coming-or if this is just the brand consolidating around its strongest markets.
Here’s a quick reference for what went down:
| Details | Information |
|---|---|
| Closed Location | Twin Peaks Sacramento, CA (Arden Arcade) |
| Closure Date | June 2025 (announced via Instagram) |
| Years in Operation | Nearly 10 years |
| Reason for Closure | Not officially disclosed |
| Twin Peaks U.S. Locations | Around 100 (mostly in TX, South, Midwest) |
| Customer Reaction | Shock, disappointment, nostalgic tributes |
The bigger picture shows a shifting hospitality landscape. Chains that thrived on dine-in models and branded atmospheres are now either transforming or vanishing. It’s a reminder that no matter how strong the fan base, staying power in the current market means being agile, smart, and financially lean.
As for Twin Peaks Sacramento fans, the loss stings. The vibe, the regulars, the staff-all gone without a final cheers. And it’s not just about the food or the uniforms. It was a community space, a social staple, and for many, a comforting constant in a world that keeps changing.
