"content": "\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.sobremesaoak.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sobre Mesa\u003c/a>, a cocktail-forward lounge and restaurant from \u003ca href=\"https://www.alamaroakland.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">alaMar\u003c/a> chef-owner German Nelson, is now open for business in downtown Oakland. The space is decidedly not a bar: Nelson dubs it an \"Afro-Latin Lounge,\" and it delivers on the title. Sobre Mesa's pink-hued lights float above plenty of seating, including caramel, cushioned booths and a private alcove for bottle service, La Sala, which invite patrons to stay for a good time and a long time. Though there's no designated dance floor in the space, Nelson plans to have live bands and DJs on occasion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lush, dark green walls and tropical palms set the mood for a Caribbean-inspired cocktail menu, for which Nelson recruited Susan Eggett from San Francisco's Last Rites and Alex Maynard from Starline Social Club in Oakland. Sourcing from small batch brewers, Nelson explained why the backstory and tradition behind the spirits at Sobre Mesa matter to him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're trying to showcase more African American-owned distilleries,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To that end, you'll find \u003ca href=\"https://www.three-roll.com/\">Three Roll\u003c/a> rum from the Alma Estate in Louisiana and Los Angeles' \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/loftandbear/?hl=en\">loft & bear\u003c/a> vodka. Sobre Mesa also features the Patagonian spirit Träkál on its menu.

Though there's no designated dance floor in the space, Nelson plans to have live bands and DJs on occasion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lush, dark green walls and tropical palms set the mood for a Caribbean-inspired cocktail menu, for which Nelson recruited Susan Eggett from San Francisco's Last Rites and Alex Maynard from Starline Social Club in Oakland.

The menu changes daily, but the popular Jamaican stew of \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackee_and_saltfish\" target=\"_blank\">salt fish and ackee\u003c/a> makes a regular appearance at lunch and dinnertime. \u003ca href=\"http://www.nlj.gov.jm/FeastingontheHeritage/ackee.htm\" target=\"_blank\">The national fruit of Jamaica\u003c/a> is often paired with cod (that's soaked to remove some of the preserved fish's saltiness) and spiced up with a mix of sweet pimento and Scotch bonnet peppers, spring garlic, onions and thyme.
