Drake’s Dealership Opens Today in Uptown
It’s next up at Uptown Oakland’s Hive project: Drake’s Dealership opens officially today for lunch and dinner. Perhaps overlooked just a bit in the swarm of activity at the mixed-use development (see Calavera and Firebrand), the wood-fired pizza and beer garden from Triple Rock and Drake’s Brewing owner John Martin is pretty impressive. First of all, it’s huge: Occupying a sprawling 100-year-old building once home to a Dodge dealership, the restaurant sports a sizable interior with custom fireplace and communal seating, private dining room, and a massive open-air beer garden complete with Adirondack booths. There are 32 beers on tap that includes the entire Drake’s beer selection, plus other experimental Drakes varieties not typically available to the Related Links Calavera opening
