Downtown Wine Merchants 102 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza Oakland, CA 94612 510-250-9110 DowntownWineMerchants.com OAKLAND-DOWNTOWN
This lively downtown Oakland spot fits into classic wine bar mold, with a food menu that’s limited to small plates, so you might make a meal of, say, a bowl of mussels, panini, and a simple salad. There isn’t a stove on-site, which means you’ll do well if you stick to the kinds of dishes that put their best foot forward when baked in a hot oven — the baked käsespätzle (like a German mac ’n’ cheese) is particularly memorable. Happy hour typically features a number of good deals: selected $6 wines by the glass, discounts on full bottles, and a selection of tasty crostini. — Luke Tsai Hours: Mon.-Fri. 11:30 a.m.-9 p.m., Sat. 3-9 p.m. Tags: Wine Bar, Tapas/Small Plates, Beer, Wine & Spirits Features: Lunch, Dinner, Beer/Wine, Reservations Accepted Price: $$-$$$ Payment Type: Cash, all major credit cards Happy hour Monday through Saturday from 3–6 p.m. Reservations for lunch only, through 4 p.m.
