The Name Game

The forthcoming North Beach bar from the Future Bars gang (Bourbon & Branch, Local Edition, Tradition) now has a name: it'll be called The Devil's Acre. The moniker is taken from a turn-of-the-century nickname for the area more commonly known as the Barbary Coast; it was chosen because it was a total den of iniquity, obviously. Both The Devil's Acre and Future Bars' Berkeley project, Tupper & Reed, are apparently still several months out. [Inside Scoop]
