Barrel-Aged Negronis at Zero Zero
OVER A BARREL

Barrel-Aged Negronis at Zero Zero

A made-to-order drink always beats a ready-made cocktail. But Zero Zero’s Barrel-Aged Negroni (aged in bourbon barrels for 82 days) may be the springtime exception. Since it’s a limited supply, they’ll make a new cocktail once this runs out. You’ll want to clear your calendar for 82 days from now.

Now available at Zero Zero, 826 Folsom St (at 4th), 415-348-8800

Saturday
Whiskies of the World Expo
STILL STANDING

Whiskies of the World Expo

If it came from a still, they’ll probably be pouring it here—think: hundreds of single malts, bourbons and small-batch artisanal spirits.

Next Thursday
Mystery Night at Maverick
FOOL’S GOLD

Mystery Night at Maverick

The guys at Maverick are hosting their Halloween ritual early. It’ll work the same way: you get three mystery courses, and the table that guesses the most ingredients per course wins (guessing wine varietals adds bonus points). Fair warning: it’s no coincidence that it’s the day before April Fools’...
