Plum Bar's cozy, crafted environment was one of Uptown Oakland's foodie trendsetters. Almost everything is homemade, at the very least novel, from mezcal ketchup and ginger beer to smoked fries and Albacore over romesco. The custom Zen-esque style and symmetries are present in details from the furniture to the table settings. Intimate or group occasions will find a rich experience here, Plum Bar and their brussel sprouts, are not-to-be-missed.
