The bar’s sibling co-owners have been in legal disputes for years over how to manage...
The civil suit filed by Riedel on Sept. 21 seeks to dissolve her business partnership with Munguia. Riedel is requesting judicial supervision “winding up the business of Trad’r Sam,” as well as “an order of the Court dissolving” their legal partnership. If the court sides with Riedel’s demands, it’s not clear whether this would lead to the closure of the bar altogether.
Munguia told SFGATE via email that he purchased Trad’r Sam in 1972. Riedel’s suit includes a copy of the agreement he allegedly signed with Riedel in 1988 to become business partners. Since 2020, the siblings have been embroiled in legal disputes over how to manage the bar, and whether they should relocate or negotiate for a new lease.San Francisco's longstanding Tiki bar Trad'r Sam seen on Sept. 25, 2023.
SFGATE reached out to Munguia’s lawyer to ask why Trad’r Sam was at risk of eviction but did not hear back by the time of publication. As of Tuesday, a new sign has been posted on the Trad’r Sam storefront that read: “Pirates attacked Temporarily closed for repairs see you soon,” which was signed “John & Dorothy.”
On Tuesday, Munguia shared a statement with SFGATE saying that the bar had an “unexpected closure” but “will be back in a few weeks.”“Trad’r Sam was established in 1937, and John and Dorothy are excited to honor this unique local landmark and will be doing some work over the next several weeks to fix up the bar while maintaining its charm. The family looks forward to serving San Francisco for decades more to come,” Munguia told SFGATE via email.
