Coming Attractions

Uptown Oakland is getting another hot project: The Double Standard, a patio-equipped bar featuring a dozen cocktails from veteran bartender and Bourbon & Branch alum Ali Tahsini (right). Expect it at the end of April. The same article also has an update on ABV, the already-announced 16th Street cocktail bar from Ryan Fitzgerald, Todd Smith, and Erik Reichborn-Kjennerud that's targeting a March opening; the latest word is that it will have an all-local draft beer and wine program, and a big back bar of scotch and mezcal.
