The talented folks behind Rich Table, Mister Jiu’s, and Lazy Bear have opened up a gorgeous new cocktail bar in Uptown Oakland. Drinks like the Honey Walnut Ron focus on using local and seasonal ingredients, while their food is a mix of small plates and dim sum-style desserts such as black sesame chocolate cake.

Movie Pairing: The Guest (Prime)

“In the horror-comedy The Guest, Dan Stevens is a sociopathic soldier on a murder streak. You will love the synth soundtrack, and you will wonder what happened to Matthew Crawley from Downton Abbey. If you’re like me, it might also make you think about, Viridian in Oakland, a neon-tinged bar I cannot wait to get back to after this is all over. They’re currently serving bottled cocktails for two ($20) or twelve ($80), and a variety of dim sum, like cha siu bao, and desserts to-go.” - LC
