Happy heat wave to you. How’s that for great weather for a Giants opening home game? Anyone who is out there today is one lucky duck.

I ended up having plenty of entertainment this weekend, from the rockin’ Odesza show at the Independent on Friday night, to laughing like a lunatic for the entire duration of Shit & Champagne on Saturday night, a combo comedy, drag show, and total ass-kicking send-up of 1970s female revenge/exploitation flicks. Fun-nay!

Speaking of entertainment, attention fellow music lovers, Outside Lands just announced their 2014 lineup—tickets go on sale this Thursday! Flaming Lips, Disclosure, Lykke Li, Cut Copy, Chromeo, Holy Ghost, Tycho, cool. Big Freedia will put on a bouncing SHOW. (I love how I usually don’t care so much about the headliners at these big music events anymore.)

I hope you get to leave work early today. Enjoy this gorg evening with an alfresco cocktail in hand.

Gossip & News (the word on the street)

Meats Are Now Spinning on the Spits at Souvla in Hayes Valley

Last week I was happy to attend a preview party for SOUVLA, a brand-new souvlaki place in Hayes Valley. You may remember when I wrote about the concept a couple of years ago, when Greek American chef-owner Charles Bililies was still looking for investors and a location. Isn’t it great when ideas come true? Especially when souvlaki is involved—something this city has been sorely lacking (sorry, the gyro places with mystery meat don’t count).

He is definitely doing a Bay Area spin on things: the spit-roasted meats (the “souvla” is literally the rotisserie rod/roasting spit) are all-natural, hormone-free meats (the chickens are Rocky Jr. from Petaluma, the lamb from a collective of Northern California farms, and the pork is from Homestead Farms). Each souvlaki ($9-$11) has its own combo of ingredients, from feta or mizithra, and sauces like harissa-spiked yogurt or minted yogurt. There’s also a vegetarian version with roasted vegetables. The pita is notably soft and pillowy—it’s their proprietary recipe made especially for them by a South Bay bakery specializing in flatbreads and pitas, delivered fresh daily.

Here’s the opening menu. There are some crazy-delicious fries you will need to order—they’re tossed with olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, and topped with mizithra cheese (a salty sheep’s milk cheese from Greece). Oh yeah, and there are also fries with the drippings. Yup. For dessert, there are some different toppings you can get on frozen Greek yogurt ($4-$5), like baklava crumbles, sour cherry syrup, or Greek olive oil and flaky sea salt. There are Greek wines on the list, plus some Greek beer too (opa!).

It’s a fast-casual setup (you order at the counter), with 35 seats in all. Bililies ended up taking over the former Sebo location, and the room feels completely different, with light coming in from the skylight, a couple bars made of white oak with custom-aged copper trim, and Carrara marble penny tile. There is a communal table (with a copper top, the same as the high-top bar tables). To complete the airy feeling, the front windows open up to the sidewalk. There’s a wraparound bar with three outdoor bar stools, plus a counter with stools both in and outside. Be sure to check out the hanging pots, which are vintage pieces from his grandfather’s Boston restaurant.

Hours are Tue-Sun 11am-10pm. 517 Hayes St. at Octavia, 415-400-5458.

An Update and First Look at Urban Putt's Menus, Opening May 5th

It’s about that time to check in on URBAN PUTT, which has set an opening date of May 5th. Here are the latest details on what will be San Francisco’s first miniature golf course (with 14 holes!), two bars, and a restaurant. To recap, this upcoming Mission project is from Steve Fox, previously editorial director of PC World, editor in chief of InfoWorld, and editorial director of CNET. The location was previously Driscoll’s Mortuary, and has been vacant since 1999 (hopefully one of the spots on the mini golf course is a creepy crypt, bwah ha ha!).

Back in January, we mentioned that the chef is Dane Boryta, most recently at Bottle Cap in North Beach. It’s a full-service restaurant called UP at Urban Putt (it’s upstairs), and will be offering “comforting Americana cuisine,” with dishes like a wedge salad with blue cheese; six kinds of Chicago-style deep-dish pizza; and poutine with duck confit, hand-cut fries, cheese curds, and peppercorn gravy. Entrées include slow-roasted baby back ribs with heirloom cannellini beans, jambalaya, and braised artichokes with mushroom and English pea filling. Take a first look at the menu here.

You’ll also be able to get some Fairway Bites while on the mini golf green, like corn dogs, pretzel twists, and fried chicken and waffle skewers. Or if you’re hanging out at the bar, the Bar Bites menu will include fried chicken thighs, a burger, pulled pork sliders, grilled cheese and tomato soup, and more. There are also two private dining rooms, with room for 14 people upstairs and 25 in the salon downstairs.

The bar was originally going to be run by the Bon Vivants, but it looks like it’s just beer and wine for now. Colin Carroll has been named the bar manager—his background includes Elixir Saloon and Paul K Restaurant, plus some Portland locations—and he’ll be highlighting some local brews (including a custom beer from the Half Moon Bay Brewing Company) and concocting some low-proof cocktails until Urban Putt gets its full liquor license. There’s a bar upstairs at UP (with the restaurant, it comes to 70 seats total) and another bar downstairs, with room for 35.

The course itself is going to be pretty high tech, and they have assembled quite the team of local designers, robotics engineers, welders, and artists to make it a really cool experience. San Francisco architect Matt Hollis (who also designed Mission Bowling Club) is behind the design of the space. Look for custom ironwork, and other touches like wood and copper bar tops and Victorian-style light sconces.

Urban Putt will be open seven days a week, offering dinner every night, plus weekend brunch. Snacks, beverages, and appetizers will be available at the bar whenever Urban Putt is open. Mini golf will be available throughout operating hours. No one under 21 years of age will be admitted after 8pm. 1096 South Van Ness Ave. at 22nd St.

First, the lovely Azalina Eusope of AZALINA’S MALAYSIAN is gearing up for her first brick-and-mortar location, in the Twitter building, this September, but in the meantime, she has sadly lost access to the very important commercial kitchen space she uses for catering, wholesale, and her packaged goods.

Here’s her MoolaHoop campaign—please be sure to watch her video!

MARLA BAKERY will be launching their new brick-and-mortar bakery in the Outer Richmond on May 31st, and want to create a garden space in the back (for guests can enjoy) in addition to fruit trees, an herb garden, and more, all designed by Paxton Gate. Here’s their Kickstarter; you’ve got until May 1st to contribute. 3619-21 Balboa St. at 37th Ave.

Lastly, any of you gluten-free folks should take a look at the new magazine that Erika Lenkert will be launching in Fall 2014, Gluten-Free Forever. It will be beautifully designed and photographed, and as a lot of us know, launching a magazine isn’t cheap. Here’s their Kickstarter.

A sample menu mentions turkey legs with charmoula, and cured trout with avocado toast, though the menu is subject to change.

Bar News & Reviews (put it on my tab)

Birba Wine Bar Moving Into Hayes Valley

Hoodline reports that Hayes Valley is about to get a new wine bar (just around the corner from Fig & Thistle, no less). It’s called BIRBA, which is Italian for “little troublemaker” or “rascal,” and comes from owner Angie Valgiusti, who previously was the sommelier at Slanted Door and consulted on the wine list at Bar Jules. She only just signed the lease, and plans to open the small wine bar with a back garden sometime in the next three to six months. There won’t be a full kitchen, but you will find some small bites to go with the wines. She’s hoping to provide a good place for those looking for a bite and a glass of wine before or after a show. For now, she’s still in the planning stages, but we’ll let you know when we hear more. 458 Grove St. at Gough.

Bar (and Bartender) News, Plus Tequila for Tax Day

A few items to note in the dranks world: the Bay Area Reporter (via Eater) mentions Shawn Vergara (Blackbird) is partnering with his sister, Tiffny Vergara Chung, to open a beer-centric arcade bar in the Castro. The working title is PROJECT 22 (subject to change), and they will be serving 25 craft beers, wine on tap, and low-alcohol cocktails, along with 10 coin-operated classic arcade games, like Pac-Man and Galaga (they hope to boost that number to 20 eventually). Craige Walters will be behind the interior design. The project should open in late summer at the 2200 Market Street mixed-use building, The Century (where the former Leticia’s and then Thai House used to be, and where Bandidos will be opening later this year from the Hi Tops team). Hours will be 3pm-2am. 2200 Market St. at 15th Street.

The bar community just got someone back from the land of brand ambassadorship: Jackie Patterson Brennan has left her traveling job with Solerno and will now be back behind the stick at HARD WATER on Wednesday and Thursday nights. Look forward to seeing you, Jackers!

Recently opened bar and restaurant THE SQUARE has announced their new bar manager, Claire Sprouse. She previously worked at Rickhouse and Tradition, and you can check out her cocktail list at The Square starting Monday April 14th.

Look out for the muddled old fashioned or the Twentieth Century cocktail with gin, cacao, Lillet Blanc, and lemon. 1707 Powell St. at Columbus, 415-525-3579.

One way to feel better about tax day next week is to sign up for a spot at COPITA’s Tequila Tuesday/Agave Girls event on April 15th from 6:30pm-8:30pm. For $68 (not including gratuity), you can enjoy a multicourse meal by chef Gonzalo Rivera with paired cocktails featuring Clase Azul tequila, and the education part of the evening will be led by Joanne Weir.

Delicious Ways to Celebrate Passover This Year
