DOWNTOWN OAKLAND—The O-Trib's Angela Woodall takes a step back to wonder at all the new bars/lounges to explode upon the Oakland scene lately: "By my count, nearly a dozen new venues recently have opened or are set to open downtown in the next few months including Layover, a loungey bar that replaced Pat's and is supposed to be ready for business today."
