The Experience, Emeryville: Honor Kitchen & Cocktails Holiday Cheer

The Experience:

Create an easy ‘Friendsgiving’ gathering!

Call some friends. Meet at Honor. Catch up. Laugh. Share. Enjoy friendship. Be the spark that gets everyone together. They will appreciate you.

Honor is serving up delectable signature craft cocktails – ‘tis the season!

And the food! Chef Ray Wirtz is the creative chef overseeing the menu development and culinary execution for Honor Kitchen & Cocktails.

Lots of menu choices. Stone Oven ‘Za section includes Marguerite, Hobbs Pepperoni, Wild Mushroom and many more pizzas! Outta Deep Blue section includes oysters and seafood cocktails, Gruyere Crusted Halibut, Fish & Chips and more. Lots of veggie dishes, salads and of course, the Carnivore Corner section of the menu. You’ll be sure to find your new favorites.

A remodeled bar/lounge area awaits you if you want to sip on a handcrafted cocktail or mocktail. Outdoors you can experience a fun beautiful sunlit atrium during the day which is transformed at night with jewel toned lights, outdoor fire pits and great leather furniture. You’ll love the vibe.

And don’t forget the saying by the crew at Honor: The Dude Abides ‘One should relax, enjoy the simple pleasures of life, be generally tolerant of others, maintain equanimity in the face of adversity, and encourage others to do the same.’

HONOR (on-er) n. Honesty, fairness, or integrity on one’s beliefs and actions.  A source of credit or distinction. High respect, as for worth, merit, or rank.  High public esteem, fame; glory; the privilege of being associated.

This  unexpected Emeryville hole-in-the-wall will leave you feeling ‘Honored’!
