"The latest effort from a team that, combined, has been behind bars like the Beehive and other Bay Area mainstays, Heartwood feels like an ode to California’s natural beauty — in particular, the forests north of the city. The brick-and-wood interior has been open to the public only since April, but its drink menu tastes like a list of classics, thanks in part to a reliance on natural spices and flavors. That comes through in the Pulp Fiction, which combines a blend of spiced rums (including BACARDÍ Ocho), mango, citrus, and Makrut lime into a smooth mixed drink that balances both tropical and earthy tones." - Robert Spuhler
