Encuentro $$

(based on 1 user review)
- Oakland-Jack London Sq. Wine Bar, Tapas/Small Plates, Vegetarian/Vegan
Encuentro is as inclined as any other eatery to fetishize all things organic and sustanible but also puts a premium on haute cuisine. the menue includes stuffed prunes, brushettas, red quinoa, and other delecasies, all nicely garnished and reasonably priced. Not to mention that the decor featers eco-friendly and scavaged materials.

Forbidden Island $$
- 1304 Lincoln Ave., Alameda (map)
- 510-749-0332

Be the first to review this location!
- Alameda Bars & Clubs, Eclectic/Exotic, Hawaiian, Tapas/Small Plates
Forbidden Island is a tiki bar at its best, offering everything it takes to capture that elusive blend of island kitsch, pure spectacle, and festive mood: a nautical wood interior, gaudy cocktails, a jukebox crammed with vintage Martin Denny and Frankie Laine tunes, and a tropical lanai for outdoor guzzling. It’s the only tiki bar in America that makes fresh fruit juice in-house every day, and there are appetizers of the deep-fried variety. Entertainment includes live surf-rock bands and dance parties with DJs.
