I suspect there will be more to this story...

The cumbersome name for his new venture is Kung Fu Action Theater & Laundry, which Young last year said would be a place where people can do laundry and watch kung fu movies. It won’t be a bar, he said, despite the location’s liquor license.

Liquor licenses in California - especially if this is one of the old "grandfathered" licenses which allows you to serve alcohol without food - are a valuable commodity. To spend that money to put in a laundromat seems a bit crazy.
What impresses me is the fact it was there for 50 years as an "out of the closet" gay bar. To have opened a gay bar in the 1960's was pretty impressive - even in San Francisco!
