The Experience, Emeryville: Bay St Openings

The Experience:

The Trophy Club @ Tipsy Putt!

It feels like a retro style bar that hints at the historical Speakeasy era, reminiscent of the old Townhouse in the days of old in Emeryville. Owners Brandon and Jennifer Robinson have created an adult ‘drinkertaiment’ concept with three brands – Tipsy Putt taproom, Mini-golf and the Trophy Club lounge hidden inside Tipsy Putt.

The Tipsy Putt bar serves up 40 taps of local craft beer including Emeryville’s own Wondrous Brewing beer, as well as tasty bites – tacos, nachos and more. Their mini golf course is challenging and great fun for groups, young ones until 5pm and 21+ after 5. Mayor John Bauters and vice mayor Courtney Welch celebrated their Grand Opening on Jan 31.

Fans gathered yesterday, February 8, for the opening of the Trophy Club, your new go-to place for cocktails.

“The beauty of the Trophy Club,” explained member and fan of the Sacramento Tipsy Putt’s Trophy Lounge, Shane Bharat, “is that it’s low key and chill. You have a purpose when you are here. At the very beginning of the Sacramento Trophy Club, I literally came for a Coca Cola that they made from scratch.  I have always felt very welcome and love what they do for members. Love their events.”

Memberships and events are now available in Emeryville! Visit soon, take a tour and learn about the benefits.

Valentine’s @ the Trophy Club means Chocolate Grenache on fresh long stemmed strawberries. Plus more delectable bites and drinks. Current Bites offered include Charcuterie Board, Cheese Board, Chef’s Board – both meat and cheese – and Baguette & Marinated Olives with House-Made Giardirniera. This menu will evolve!

What they’re serving is unique with house-made syrups (banana & simple syrups), house-dehydrated fruit garnishes, fresh juices, fresh herb infusions (rosemary infusion) and more. They even make their own grenadine in house. And Valentine drinks are on the bar menu until the end of the month!

Bitter Taste of Love – Gin, Campari, crème de mure and orange bitters. Strong, bitter, semi-fruity.

Love Me Tender – Ramazzotti Aperitivo, vodka, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup (house-made) egg white and angostura bitters. Refreshing, floral, silky.

White Wedding – Blanco tequila, fresh squeezed lime juice,m kumquat liqueur, Licor 43, ginger beer and cream. Fruity, creamy, effervescent.

All cocktails are curated by their mixologists, Josh & Marqui. Get down there and meet them at the Trophy Club! And then try your hand at mini golf and check out their 40 beers on tap. You’ll find Tipsy Putt & Trophy Club at the north end of Bay St (5690) across from Hyatt Place. (510) 356-8222.

SNEAK PREVIEW: A Change of Art for Linda Lee Boyd & Emeryville’s Art Exhibition

Introducing something she knows. Something she painted – Street Scenes

One of the great volunteers for Emeryville’s Annual Art Exhibition is artist, printmaker and designer Linda Lee Boyd.  Linda has entered a series of three acrylic paintings in this year’s show, a departure from the Linda we knew – a woodblock print artist.

Linda has been on the board of Celebration of the Arts, sponsor of the annual art exhibition, for 20 years and had volunteered on the Operating Committee several years prior. She first entered her artwork, woodblock prints, in 1992. “Of all printmaking techniques, cutting and printing woodcuts had always felt the most natural to me,”commented Linda.

What is interesting about her woodblock prints is that she liked watching people and had so admired figurative artists like Alice Neal, Lucian Freud, Rembrandt, and Vermeer, that she started with images of her family, friends, and then co-workers. This led to a series of prints of workers. “These prints of workers are observations of the people but are also an attempt to give the viewer a sense of how they feel about themselves and their work.”

When asked why the change in medium for the 2020 Art Exhibition, Linda said, “I’ve been doing woodblock prints for over 40 years. I never learned to paint. This year, I decided to give it another try. I figured out that I had to paint in the same way I do prints – layers of color to make shapes and textures.”

Street Scenes seem to depict glimpses of all our walks during the pandemic – we all know our sidewalks, streets and gutters by heart now. And what led Linda to these themes in her paintings? “I got inspired by looking at the gutters while out walking my dog.”  What is she planning for her next effort? Well according to Linda, “I’m still in the gutters!”

Linda is passionate about the Emeryville Annual Art Exhibition. “I love the Emeryville Art Exhibition. It’s a great show every year because of the depth and variety of artwork done by people living and working in Emeryville. It’s a true representation of what a creative community is producing

“Sharon Wilchar, the Project Coordinator, does an amazing job every year pulling together so many different aspects of the show,” continues Linda. “In the recent past, the largest problem has been finding a site for the show. This year, there is no site due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Instead, she has had to guide us through the new territory of an online show through the website, Zoom and Facebook live. I’d like to give a shout-out to US Design Resources,  volunteers who are helping non-profits find digital outlets. They have been great opening the new world for us of a totally online art exhibition.”

Street Scenes Series by Linda Lee Boyd:

Street Scene 4 –  Street Scene 5 – Street Scene 6.  All acrylic on panel 11”x 14” x.5”  and listed at $500. More info here: https://lindaleeboyd.com/
