According to legend, Martinez is where the very first martini was made in 1870. In fact, the cocktail was called the “Martinez special” and later shortened to Martini. The Martini Festival is the official celebration of this claim to fame, and in addition to the drinks, Greek, Chinese, Southeast Asian food and sweets will be served by local restaurants. There will be complementary limo and horse drawn carriage rides for the lightweights and/or responsible drinkers.
525 Henrietta Street, Martinez
Fri, 5/14, 6:30 – 10 pm
$40 per person, or $75 per couple (includes food, 2 drink tickets and a martini glass)
Congratulations to the owners of Bar Dogwood, which just received a stamp of approval from the city. You can order locally sourced, hormone free meat by the pound or snack on salumi and cheese while you enjoy a drink. A bar and meat market = two birds, one stone. Now, we’re just patiently waiting for Bar Dogwood to open.

I noticed that Trueburger just got their liquor license, and an east bay dish reader confirmed they now have beer on the menu.
