Saturday
Distillation Demos at St. George's Spirits
SATURDAY SPIRITS

Distillation Demos at St. George's Spirits

See where—and, more to the point, learn how—they distill handcrafted single-malt whiskey and pot-distilled vodka. Then try not to forget as you taste while you tour.

SUNDAY CIRCLE

Murray Circle Restaurant Opens

Taste wood-roasted rib-eye prepped by a Meadowood Resort vet at this week-old restaurant on the former grounds of Fort Baker in Sausalito. (When you're not staring at rib-eye, you'll notice the Golden Gate Bridge in full view.)

Monday
Absinthe's Cocktail Week Party
MONDAY DUCK TACOS

Absinthe's Cocktail Week Party

We think every week's cocktail week, but that's no excuse to abandon a celebration—especially when the cocktail chasers are the eclectic likes of fried pickles, duck tacos and lamb burgers.
