The restaurant Plucked Chicken & Beer is opening in Crow Canyon Commons in San Ramon. According to Diablo Dish these are the same owners as Sauced with locations in Livermore and Walnut Creek. Check for updates on their Facebook page here. I wonder what the self-service beer taps will be like…
From their website:
Plucked Chicken & Beer will feature creative and fun dishes made with, you guessed it… chicken! From appetizers, salads, sandwiches, entrees and an impressive selection of self-service beer taps, we guarantee you’ll leave wanting more.
Late last year we learned that Vic Stewart’s would be closing in downtown Walnut Creek and now that the building is getting demolished to make room for new retail space, the Southern Pacific rail car is visible before it gets shipped off to the Martinez Historical Society museum. Thanks to a reader for pointing out this cool historical piece of Walnut Creek!
They note:
I think this is the first time the car has been visible since it was placed there in 1974 when the building was moved here and converted to a restaurant.
