"This self-proclaimed “martini dive bar” has already become a neighborhood haunt since its April 2024 debut, luring locals in with its highbrow-lowbrow combo that hits just right in the Temescal neighborhood. Expect a fun menu of martinis, smaller-sized cheekies, Jell-O shots, slushies, wine, beer, nonalcoholic options, and more. Meanwhile, the inclusive food menu is made up of fantastical vegan hot dogs and dishes created by Oakland’s now-closed (but much-missed) Lion Dance Cafe. Don’t miss the Lion Dancing Dog, an Impossible vegan dog dressed with sambal mayo, crushed peanuts, fried shallots, and soy sauce-pickled jalapenos." - Dianne de Guzman
