Hawker Fare

Hawker Fare may have some major culinary credentials (Syhabout's Commis is Oakland's only Michelin-starred restaurant), but it's everything but formal. Customers are encouraged to be noisy, happy, and eat with their hands at Hawker Fare. This trendy Asian street food eatery from master chef James Syhabout is decorated with a vibrant palette of red, blue, green, and everything in between. Check out their upstairs bar, Holy Mountain, if you're looking for an isolated, gloomy watering spot inspired by Alejandro Jodorowsky's art.

With cocktails like the Montego Bay ($13), made with Jamaican rum, pimento dram, honey, lime juice, grapefruit juice, absinthe, and bitters, it's easy to get tipsy at Hawker Fare. With their "Phucket Bucket" bottle service, which includes Beefeater Gin ($35), Johnnie Walker Black Label ($40), and mixers, you can make your own drinks.
