Hello to everyone who has ever graced our dining establishment with their presence. To anyone who has had a drink at our bar, had a bite of our food, or had a laugh during a Comedy Oakland show.
We are sad to say that we are bidding a (temporary) farewell to all of you. The Spice Monkey team would like to put out a sincere thank you so much for the 13 years of loyal patronage you have brought to us. Spice Monkey would not have been Spice Monkey without you here to serve every day.
This evening at 5pm we will be having a socially distant goodbye concert in the parklet outside of Spice Monkey. Please stop by to enjoy the music of Ben Misterka Trio. This event is free of charge and is our way of saying thank you.
We will miss serving this beautiful and diverse Oakland community and we hope that you don't forget the name Spice Monkey (I mean, how could you?). We will be back sooner than you think with new ways to serve you again.
Sincerely and with love,
The Spice Monkey Team

To our amazing community,
Thank you so much for donating to save Spice Monkey. With all of this uncertainty that is happening in our world, showing love and support to one and another is so important for keeping our faith and hopes alive.
As of my writing of this letter we are still negotiating with our landlord about the renewal of our lease so that we can stay here to serve the community for the next 5 years. As the minutes count down there has yet to be any concessions made between us and the landlord lawyer’s group. With the current situation, and new regulations caused by covid-19, Spice Monkey as a venue of live entertainment for music, comedy, bar/restaurant without any rent concessions or other help we would not survive. As Oakland is opening back up to serve the public we have yet to figure out how to handle this very shocking change and resume our work carrying such a backlog of expenses and our loss of business over the last couple of months.
As the month plays out we invite you to come down to enjoy our food truck partner that we have brought on, Senor Sisig (https://www.senorsisig.com/) and spice monkey curbside signature drinks hosted and partnered by Curbside Bartender (https://www.curbsidebartender.com/) and some live music at our parklet throughout the week. Check out our facebook for our scheduled line up.
Join us as we celebrate health, wellness, community, faith & hope. Together we will persevere through it all. May our ways of being align positively with the realities of today. May all the great talents of humanity help us find a vaccine so we can hug and connect again in close proximity. Let us enjoy one another existing in this universe.
This too shall pass. As we continue to hang in tough and keep our faith & hope alive in the realm of all these roller coaster rides. Let our zeal be strengthened within us as we keep on persevering.
Always,
Kanitha Matoury
