They high-five in greeting and stretch in front of the bar’s parklet, many sporting black caps with their group’s name, the Bon Vivants Run Club. Some are Harris’ friends from the bar industry; others learned of the club from a note on Trick Dog’s cocktail menu, or from…

Little Star Pizza on Divisadero Street is caught in a limbo familiar to many San Francisco restaurants. Revenue at the Chicago-style pizzeria was down about 18% last year compared with 2019, owner Brian Sadigursky said.

Now Sadigursky is stuck making pizza until his lease expires in September, unable to pay himself a s…

In the Bay Area beverage world, 2023 was undeniably the year of the wine bar. While once stuffy and staid, with bulky glasses and boring cheese plates, a flood of new bars from the Marina to San Jose has remade the genre. Now, they’re likely to boast raucous music and tiny INAO-style glasses brimming with natural wine. But the 14 best new bars of 2023 offered plenty of variety, too: See Napa’s new tequila hotspot and Berkeley’s new hub for one of the region’s best breweries. And cocktails, with…

Here’s assistant food & wine editor Caleb Pershan: Humbug. It’s the first year since 1975 without Anchor Brewing Co.’s annual Christmas ale, leaving a place missing on many holiday tables.

Not long after, Sapporo announced it was shutting Anchor down altogether; the brewer…

As inevitably as a cookie invites a glass of milk, when the Chronicle Food & Wine team published the results of our blind taste test of 23 chocolate chip cookies last week, our ranking invited more ideas from readers — and a little criticism. “Methodology: flawed” one reader wrote with the subject line “chocolate cookiegate,” drawing attention to our limited geographic range. For the sake of comparison, we only considered cookies that could be…
