"Isaac Shumway, an SF bar veteran, and his partner Rhia Shumway will launch California Gold in a historic building in downtown San Rafael. The bar is inspired by English and Irish pubs as well as the early, pre-Gold Rush days of California. The menu and mood are influenced by Charles H. Baker's book, The Gentleman’s Companion: Around the World with Jigger, Beaker and Flask. The cocktail section will feature drinks like Banana Cow and the Surf Club Mangareva, while the wine selection will include California wines and beers." - Ellen Fort
