Hey, liver, you ready to party? Because there are some occasions for you to do so! First up, CUESA is throwing another one of their fun cocktail parties with the United States Bartenders’ Guild on Wednesday August 5th, Getaway in a Glass: Summer Cocktails of the Farmers Market. Thirteen bartenders (including Nora Furst, Lolinda; Max Gerasimenko, Rye; Jessica Maria, Hotsy Totsy Club) and local chefs (David Bazirgan, Dirty Habit; Tony Gemignani, Tony’s Pizza Napoletana; Chris Jones, Gaspar Brasserie) will be serving up some summery goodness evocative of faraway lands from 5:30pm-8pm.

Woof. You’ll get a kick out of the latest cocktail menu at TRICK DOG, a 2016 calendar called Trick Dogs, starring a dog and a cocktail for each month. Not only can you try to spot local pooches (including Bon Vivants’ Josh Harris’s bulldog, Stephen), but 100 percent of proceeds from calendar sales ($20 each) will be split between two local charities, Muttville Senior Dog Rescue and Northern California Family Dog Rescue.
