[1.25.10] ERA ART BAR AND LOUNGE | Cubism, Cocktails and Clubbing | San Francisco | SFO | Lake Merritt District | Bar | [Urban Daddy] http://bit.ly/aKvaex
This massive space combines a turn-of-the-century cocktail den with a modern art gallery and
nightclub—which at first blush sounds a little schizophrenic. And it is, but it's a high-functioning
and nattily outfitted schizophrenic, one from the 1890s who draws a mean cocktail.
[2.5.10] Speaking of bars, tonight marks the debuts for two newcomers on the Oakland nightlife scene: ERA and BEER REVOLUTION. The latter is a fairly standard beer spot, but the former, Era, is an ambitious, two-story 5000-square-foot bar/artsy lounge with a 35-foot steel and concrete bar. 19 Grand Avenue, Oakland; 510-832-4400; website [OT via Eater SF]

The 5,000-square-foot space will bring together art (expect bi-monthly
collections of modern and contemporary art), handcrafted artisan
cocktails with house-made syrups and bitters, local small production
wines, and a wide range of music (with occasional live performances).

If you happened to pass by the intersection of
Grand Avenue and Broadway last Friday, your curiosity about the throng
of would-be barflies wrapped around the block would have been
justified. Era Art Bar and Lounge attracted 700 people that night in
what may be a recent record-setting opening night ... The opening Beer Revolution created a beer loop between Linden
Street several blocks west and The Trappist and Pacific Coast Brewing
Co. to the north. The city had to make an exception for Beer
Revolution's location because the building is so close to other
off-site liquor selling establishments. If they hadn't, the City
Council might have had a revolt on their hands.
