Saraveza

zundel — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 05:18:38 +0000

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.

1004 N Killingsworth, just east of I-5
