OpenTable's Best Brunch Spots, Happy Hour at Southpaw

LISTICLES - These OpenTable Diner's Choice lists are always amusing, so why don't we take a look at today's 2012 Best Brunch Winners across the U.S., including seven from the Bay Area: Magic Flute, Garden Court, Ironside, Town's End and Top of the Mark in San Francisco, and La Note and HS Lordships in Berkeley. Now don't all rush to reserve at once. [EaterWire]

HAPPY HOUR - Southpaw BBQ (2170 Mission St.) has started up happy hour from 5 to 7 p.m. on weeknights and from 3 to 7 p.m. on weekends.

THE SHUTTER - The historic Olema Inn & Restaurant has been purchased by some mysterious new owners. It's now closed for "a short period of time" as they ramp up the new deal. [ISSF]

BAR WIRE - Quince bartender Corey Harrison has added a mint julep, a single barrel "trifecta" of bourbon shots and a bunch of other Kentucky Derby-themed cocktails to the bar menu in honor of this weekend's race. Drink them in the lounge daily from 5 to 10 p.m. or have them shaken tableside from the restaurant's new vintage-inspired cocktail cart. [EaterWire]
