The Hit List: New East Bay Restaurants To Try Right Now - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"A new place to party by the Bar Shiru team has sprung up in Gold Palm. The formula for a great time here: stellar cocktails, local wines, and a menu of Pakistani snacks. Gold Palm is our new favorite spot to kick off a night out with friends. But if you want to hunker down and soak in the Art Deco vibes and relaxed atmosphere—the projector showing the Warriors game will encourage that—go for the jalapeño-packed chili cheese toasty to go alongside the masala-rubbed fries, chicken skewers, and a daal chaat (get it “the works”-style, topped with cucumber slices, fried onions, and chili crisp). Once you’re ready, make your way to their “secret bar” through the back door for martinis and music pumping through a fancy sound system." - julia chen 1, lani conway
