A new restaurant is set to open in the former Device Brewing taproom and kitchen in Sacramento's Pocket neighborhood, bringing activity back to the Promenade Shopping Center after the brewery closed its Sacramento locations earlier this year.
A prospective tenant is considering the former Device Brewing location at 7485 Rush River Drive, Suite 650, in Sacramento’s Pocket/Greenhaven area. The site, previously home to Device’s full kitchen and taproom, remains equipped to support a full-service restaurant, with listings on Device’s online ordering platform and Toast still pointing to that address.
How Device's shutdown created the opening
Device Brewing abruptly closed all three Sacramento-area locations on April 27, 2025, according to local reports. The shutdown reportedly followed a landlord complaint citing unpaid rent and maintenance fees, and company representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment, as detailed by KCRA.
What the Promenade center looks like now
The Promenade Shopping Center hosts a variety of casual and Asian dining options, and recent permit activity in nearby units indicates other restaurant concepts are considering the complex. In 2024, local reports noted a boba café preparing to open in another suite, signaling continued interest from operators in the Pocket retail hub, as per WhatNow.
Next steps and who to watch
Leasing for the former Device Brewing space has not been finalized, and discussions between property managers and potential tenants have not been publicly confirmed. The city permits and lease details could take several weeks to be released, leaving Pocket and Greenhaven residents awaiting news on the next restaurant to occupy the prominent vacant location.
