7th West Opens in Oakland With Jeepney Guy - Eater SF
"A sprawling, 8,000-square-foot bar, restaurant, and events space debuts in West Oakland on Saturday, August 25. Dubbed 7th West, the future social hub features fresh murals, loads of outdoor seating, room for live music and art shows, and an exclusive kitchen space for Dennis Villafranca of the Filipino truck Jeepney Guy. Villafranca is best known for his lechon, boneless roasted pork belly with crispy golden skin. But at 7th West, he’s able to offer a much more extensive menu than with his truck. It features fun bar snacks like fried pig ears and chicken nuggets dredged in mochi flour and coconut milk, plus larger rice plates piled with adobo ribs or buttery shrimp. There are a couple of vegan options, too." - Janelle Bitker
