The Experience, Alameda: The Park Street Tavern Menu

The Experience:

Mediterranean Classics with a Twist

Look what’s on the menu: Pork Belly over Greek butter beans and sautéed spinach with a balsamic glaze (featured here). Fans say it’s yum!

Feel conflicted between seafood and pasta? Check out one of their classic menu items – Capellini Scampi – sautéed shrimp with a lemon-garlic white wine sauce. If you are craving  comfort food, try their Penne Pasta with a spicy tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella.

Some of their other Mediterranean favorites: The Orzo and Salmon is served with baby spinach, mushrooms and roasted tomatoes in a vodka garlic sauce and the Homemade Gnocchi with Pesto is made with a pesto sauce with mushrooms and roasted cherry tomatoes. Another big hit, the Lamb Paidakia is a Greek marinated and grilled lamb chop served with a hot Greek potato salad with roasted red potatoes, cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, arugula and crispy polenta.

You can always stop by the lounge, with the welcoming vibe of a neighborhood bar, for some small bites & your fav from the wine or cocktail list. Hours: Daily 4-9pm. Bar opens at 4pm. Dinner at 5pm. They look forward to seeing you! (510) 671-2867

The Experience, Alameda: Faction Brewing Co. Collaboration

The Experience:

‘Going to Feed the Meter’ in Emeryville & Alameda!

Faction just dropped an epic beer in collaboration with their friends over at Emeryville’s  Wondrous Brewing Company.

Going To Feed the Meter is a righteous Pale with a mouthful of flavor, hopped with Mosaic, Centennial, and Amarillo. [5.6%]

“This is a special beer made in honor of our late friend Mike ‘Tasty’ McDole, whom we miss dearly,” (FB note). Mike was a world-renowned homebrewer, and rose to fame after winning numerous brewing competitions including the Sam Adams Longshot competition. He went on to brew collaboration beers with many commercial breweries including Russian River, 21st Amendment, and Heretic. Mike was a member of the DOZE homebrew club here in the Bay Area, and it was there that he started his illustrious brewing journey.

The Experience, Alameda: The Park Street Tavern Appetizers

The Experience:

Anchovies Anyone?

Fans say their favorite appetizer at Park St Tavern is the Lefkas Bruschetta! Ionian white anchovies, chopped capers and red onions served on grilled freshly made Bruschetta. Very Mediterranean.

Some of their dinner favorites: The Orzo and Salmon is served with baby spinach, mushrooms and roasted tomatoes in a vodka garlic sauce and the Homemade Gnocchi with Pesto is made with a pesto sauce with mushrooms and roasted cherry tomatoes.

The Experience, Alameda: Faction Brewing Co. Wednesdays

The Experience:

Pints + Paints!

There are lots of ways to experience Faction Brewing. Grab your friends for a run out on Alameda Point with lots of views and history and then kick back with your favorite Faction brew. You can bring your whole family, including the four-legged member, out for a fun evening with beer and food trucks. Or you can join local artists for pints + paints on Wednesdays with your sketchpad and watercolors. Whatever you do, stay for the sunset over San Francisco Bay!

Pints + Paints.

Marcy Voyevod, organizer of a weekly gathering of local artists at Faction Brewing Co. has been inviting artists to join her sketching on the patio. She explained, “I first started coming here on Fridays in 2015 when I worked close by and invited my colleagues. And I sketched.  It just felt like my community.” Check out her collection of Fridays at Faction!

Artists of all skill levels now come to Faction to sketch and paint, and, of course, enjoy the wonderful west coast style IPAs and the great views. Gathering around a table, each artist paints something different – a container ship on the estuary, succulents on the patio, city front views, or clusters of folks enjoying their pints.  Come and join them 4pm on Wednesdays.

Faction Brewing produces a wide range of beers in their 20-barrel brewhouse, including lagers, stouts, Belgian style beers, barrel aged beers, and the occasional sour. But their true specialty and passion lies in hoppy beers.

20+ taps of craft beer!

Food Truck Lineup:
