A guy told me about this place.
The Pedalpalooza No CRC ride didn’t stop at the park on the way back as planned. So I peeled off to meet a friend as planned. We never found the No CRC party. But we did get to Saraveza. I hope they had a nice party.
This blog usually only has art. This place should get art. In the meantime, enjoy the food and beer.
The pickled apples and peaches were outstanding. I’m getting a jar and starting some experiments.
The pickles accompanied the pasty of the day, a reuben with excellent filling, and an outstanding shell.
Then they have beer. A nice selection on tap and a great bottle list.
Eat. Drink. Be merry.
They need bike parking. Do what you can to motivate the city to get some staples here. And this part of Killingsworth needs a bike corral.
And you might want to go to this benefit for Ride-On by Lagunitas & Saraveza on 25 June.

I first saw Brenda Dunn’s work a couple of years ago at the Matchbox Lounge on Division while listening to Sneakin’ Out. I happily ran into her again on Alberta tonight.
