"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

bb.q Chicken Oakland

Restaurant · Rockridge

"The bb.q in our name stands for "Best of the Best Quality", and that's exactly what you can expect from every one of our restaurants. Our Korean fried chicken🍗 is crispier, juicier, and more tender than anything you've tasted before, and our sauces provide an eclectic mix of flavor. Every dish is the result of both longstanding Korean tradition and modern research and development from our very own Chicken University. It's a tremendous amount of work, but it's all worth it when you take that first bite."
