Oakland/Rockridge: Acre's August specials

Acre Restaurant (where the old Oliveto was, Market Hall in Oakland’s Rockridge)

  • like before, cafe/pizza downstairs; sit-down dining upstairs.
  • much less expensive than Oliveto; family friendly (weekday nite, three tables had kids under 10)

Acre’s newsletter wasn’t clear on whether these 4 ‘nightly happenings’ are now year round, or only for the month of August 2025:

The following are definitely only for the month of August 2025:

Where are they going to allow consumption of those rum-soaked cigars (which sound gross to this occasional cigar smoker)?
