A chop bar, in West African parlance, is a roadside bar/restaurant that also serves as a gathering place for the community. One can go there for a meal, coffee in the morning or drinks at night. It is a place where neighbors can meet, share information and ideas, and connect with each other.
Chop Bar was originally imagined and created as an all purpose neighborhood gathering place. Over the years, as we’ve deepened our knowledge of and connections with our growers, ranchers, distillers, brewers and winemakers, we have evolved into the East Bay’s favorite venue for sampling the best of Northern California.
Utilizing whole animals, keeping a short supply chain, and seeking out direct relationships with our food and beverage producers, has enabled us to offer the best and most typical products of our local terroir, simply prepared, at approachable prices.
