"The team behind the lauded Berkeley bistro Chez Panisse is launching its next offshoot, Bar Panisse, on Thursday, Dec. 11. The San Francisco Chronicle reported that the bar will serve small plates, entrees and cocktails, and a draft menu submitted to the City of Berkeley includes snacks like fritto misto, housemade potato chips and duck liver mousse crostini, plus a spin on Chez Panisse's famous garden lettuce salad."
"A coy Instagram post announced that Bar Panisse is walk-in only; diners can expect service Thursday through Sunday evenings from 4-10 p.m. Chez Panisse recently won the Nosh Award for Best Restaurant for Special Occasions for the second year in a row. The bar is in the former location of Cesar. In 2023, when Chez Panisse owner Alice Waters decided to end Cesar's sublease after 24 years so she could take it over for her own concept, fans of the popular Spanish tapas restaurant protested."

An Instagram post states Bar Panisse is walk-in only, with service Thursday through Sunday evenings from 4-10 p.m. The bar occupies the former Cesar location.
