"New bar the Barbary has taken over the former Libertine spot on Grand Avenue, and owners (and sisters) Narges and Nala Gardizi created a space they hope is a “midpoint between a tiki and a traditional dive bar feel,” Nala Gardizi told Oaklandside. You’ll find fun portraits of animals dressed in old-timey military dress and some fun cocktails — including plenty of grogs — befitting the Gardizis background working at Emeryville’s Trader Vic’s." - Dianne de Guzman
