Bar Bookstores Are a Hit Genre in the Bay Area
"North Light, a cocktail bar with a wood-walled patio, opened in Oakland in 2019. Books suggested by authors like Samin Nosrat (whose cookbook Salt Fat Acid Heat won a James Beard Award); Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma; travel writer Pico Iyer; and musician Patti Smith line shelves and are all for sale. The most popular cocktail, Furtive Glance, combines mezcal, melon liqueur, lime juice, and mint leaves." - Sharon McDonnell
