Soft woods, creamy whites and hanging globe lights create the inviting, classy mood at Rockridge’s new Redfield Cider Bar & Bottle Shop in Oakland. A sweet (and tart!) alternative to the craft beer explosion, this cider spot offers seemingly endless handles of ciders (and, yes, some beers) on tap. Don’t worry, there’s also a variety of vino to choose from, so all the usual bar suspects are available to appease every member of your party. You can pair your sips with bar bites and boards, and then purchase some bottles to take the experience home and keep the cider pouring into the wee hours.
