Eye on the Hills: Oakland's Hub sports bar opens in Jack London Square
"We've been here 10 years, and we have a lot of experience working within Oakland, says the company's managing partner, Ron Lam, who adds that they're confident they've built the right kind of expansion. We're hearing from our guests that there's really no place to congregate inside, so we expanded and people can come out for happy hour and watch sports."
"Around town: A new ownership group has purchased the former Element 7 cannabis dispensary in Montclair and turned it into a colorful new one called Flavors Oakland. The shop has installed three in-store ATM machines for its all-cash sales and also offers online ordering. This is said to be the Premier Group's 14th licensed cannabis dispensary in California. Movie night: Red Oak Realty and the Montclair Village Association are hosting one more outdoor movie night this summer at 7 p.m. Sept. 13."
Plank at Jack London Square opened a watch bar and lounge called The Hub, attended by Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee, to draw sports fans and provide indoor congregation space. The venue occupies about 50,000 square feet and features roughly 50 televisions, an 18-lane bowling alley, arcade, bocce, a beer garden, a 30-foot wall of state-of-the-art televisions and elevated pub food including smash burgers and barbecued ribs. Ownership cites ten years of Oakland experience and expanded to meet guest demand. Nearby, Flavors Oakland replaced Element 7 as a new cannabis dispensary with ATMs and online ordering. Red Oak Realty is hosting an outdoor movie night Sept. 13, with boxed dinners, free chocolates and a book drive. The founder of the Hills Newspapers, Chip Brown, returned to town and reminisced about living in Rockridge.
