The Experience, Emeryville: The Café Rack Gatherings

The Experience:

Gather . Eat . Drink . Play . Vibe! This is your place.

On a Saturday in September, The Mack Family arranged a gathering just to check in on each other and have ‘The Rack’ experience. “We had a fantastic time at The Cafe Rack In Emeryville on Saturday,” comments Boozie Brooks. “We need to check in on one another because tomorrow is not a promise.”

What a fun way to check in with your family or friends – 10 TVs airing sports programs, pool tables, a fantastic bartender and yummy food. Lots of space for big parties like the Mack Family!

Some of Cafe Rack fans’ faves: PATATAS BRAVAS Crispy twice cooked fries with a side of house garlic aioli & rosemary ketchup. ROASTED WINGS – One pound (enough for the whole crew) of traditional chicken wings, roasted & served with ranch, buffalo, honey mustard or bbq. Side of veggies. HOUSE BURGER – Half pound of wagyu beef served on a pretzel bun with lettuce, tomato, pickles & aioli. Side of wedge salad or patatas. Can add: Cheese, egg, avocado. And now that there is a chill in the air, they are serving CHICKEN SOUP – Chicken, zucchini, carrots, potatoes & tomatoes served over rice with lime.

You are personally invited to the Rack’s Happy Hour every single day from 4-7pm! It’s the perfect place to wind down after work or even pick up the pace and have fun with coworkers and friends. Beer specials, wine special and shots! You can even host a company Happy Hour or event here.

So, join the crew at Café Rack for Happy Hour and get to know your bartenders. Come in not just for pool or sports. Come for the cocktails, great food and their top-tier customer service. You’ll like the vibe – it’s really ‘a good time’. Their staff is warm, friendly, fun and funny! They can’t wait to see you!

The Experience, Oakland: Montclair Art Walk April 22-23

The Experience:

It’s an Outdoor Boutique. It’s Handcrafted. It’s an Art Alfresco Experience!

Join the villagers and artists on Saturday, April 22 and Sunday, April 23 from 10am – 5pm. Plan your day around this sidewalk art show and have lunch in Montclair. The Art Walk celebrates art in the outdoors with more than 40 artists from the Bay Area and beyond displaying their handcrafted works in the Montclair Village nestled in the scenic backdrop of the Oakland Hills.

Connect with the artists and find a unique treasure for gifting or adding to your personal collection.

Paintings, sculptures, home & office décor, artisan bags and clothing, unique hand-crafted jewelry and more.  Presented by the Montclair Village Association, this free open air art gallery offers a chance to get to know the participating artists and learn the stories behind each piece they make.

Among the celebrated artisans participating in this year’s event is Gila Sagy of Gila Glass in Concord. Her work is a balance of function and beauty, fitting in the mainstream of contemporary design, yet singular in its direction, composition and style. Her work is inventive and one of a kind. “Nature is my greatest source of inspiration. I love plants and flowers; I love the ocean and its waves,” says Gila. “Another source of great inspiration are people. Their comments, questions and reaction to my artwork are very important to me. It’s a great privilege being able to meet art lovers and enthusiasts in person at art shows and events.”

The contemporary and unique glass designs that Gila creates use the traditional manner of fusing in a kiln. More info on her Facebook page.

The Art Walk takes place in the Montclair shopping district on Mountain Boulevard at LaSalle Avenue, off Highway 13, between Park Boulevard and Thornhill Drive. For more information, contact the Montclair Village Association at (510) 339-1000. You can also see more information here.
