Wood & Salt Tavern Debuts Liquor Menu and Cocktails

09.27.21

Cocktails have officially arrived at Wood & Salt Tavern, the newest Long Beach restaurant and bar from the duo behind “German Gastro Management,” the restaurant group comprising Central Los Angeles German restaurant and beer garden, Wirtshaus, and modern German eateries in Mar Vista and Long Beach, Rasselbock Kitchen & Beer Garden.

The now one-year-old Bixby Knolls neighborhood restaurant concept will serve its new liquor menu which highlights classic drinks constructed Wood & Salt-style. Wood & Salt Tavern joins Rasselbock Kitchen & Beer Garden’s Mar Vista location as the second restaurant from the team to offer a full bar.

Wood & Salt Tavern’s new Liquor Menu will include a tight list of signature cocktails along the lines of a pineapple basil Lemon Drop (with pineapple-basil infused vodka and a pineapple sugar rim), or the bar’s “Oaxacan Sour” (mezcal, tequila, lemon juice, Aquafaba, agave). 

Diners and drinkers will choose their liquor from a domestic and international selection of small-batch spirits, with about two dozen choices of tequila, mezcal, gin, vodka, rum, and whiskey – including Kentucky-, Kansas City-, or Northern California-made bourbons, Takamine Koji Japanese Whiskey, and The Dalmore Scotch. Vermont-made gin sits neatly above a Belgian vodka and a Venezuelan rum, with a handful of Los Angeles-based spirits brands, also represented in those categories.

The newest full-service restaurant and bar from the hospitality group, Wood & Salt Tavern’s September 2020 soft-opening marked a departure from the team’s German-themed restaurants with its menus described by the group as "modern California" cuisine. 

The concept encompasses a wood-fired grill turning out proteins like meat, fish, and seafood, plus handmade pasta crafted daily, in-house. Shareable plates, salads, sides, and desserts round out the menus which feature a number of vegetarian and gluten-free options. In addition to cocktails, the restaurant also boasts a specifically curated and more global beer and wine list than is currently offered at the group’s German restaurant locations.

The restaurant’s new Executive Chef, Philip Mack, who joined the group after serving most recently as Chef de Cuisine at the Newport Beach location of FIG & OLIVE, introduced a new seasonal menu structure with the next rendition – Wood & Salt Tavern’s fall menu – to launch late-September.

With the return of indoor dining, Wood & Salt Tavern’s 2,000 square feet now hosts diners both inside and out, including new bar seating. The restaurant can accommodate guests in its indoor dining space while the covered, yet open-air, front patio also hosts patrons for daily dinner service and for the return of a weekday cocktail hour promotion, as does the expansive, recently-constructed rear patio. Similar to the group’s other establishments, all outdoor spaces are dog-friendly.

Wood & Salt Tavern’s regularly shifting food and drink menus, which change with the seasons.

Wood & Salt Tavern’s hours are currently Monday through Thursday, 5 p.m. to 9:30 PM; Friday and Saturday, 4 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.; and Sunday, 4 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The restaurant and bar host a cocktail hour promo Monday through Thursday, 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., and Friday, 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. 

Wood & Salt Tavern is located at 4262 Atlantic Avenue (between E. Burlinghall Drive and Cartagena Street), Long Beach.

Susan G. Komen’s 2021 More Than Pink Walk

09.27.21

Breast cancer survivors, “thrivers,” and supporters walked in neighborhoods, on treadmills, and on trails and beaches across Southern California to raise funds for Susan G. Komen as part of the organization’s signature MORE THAN PINK Walk fundraising event on Saturday, September 25.

 The event was held in a “walk where you are” format for the safety of all participants in Orange County, Los Angeles, one-of-a-kind and the Inland Empire. The walk united the community as women, men, and children rallied around their loved ones affected by breast cancer and so far raised more than $357,000 for the lifesaving research, advocacy, and patient care support that Komen provides. 

This year, Komen created a one-of-a kind digital experience that connected participants from all across the community who walked and fundraised to end breast cancer. No matter where the public joined in from with their walk teams across Orange County, Los Angeles, and the Inland Empire, participants were connected by Komen’s vision for a world without breast cancer. 

Fundraising for the MORE THAN PINK Walk campaign continues on through October 24 to support the Komen Helpline, Treatment Assistance Program and navigating of patients into care and support, where the organization is seeing the biggest need following the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sponsors of the MORE THAN PINK Walk include CBS2 KCAL9, San Manuel Cares, Mentor Worldwide, Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie Company, Abbott, Bank of America, Milgard Windows & Doors, MI Foundation, Dr. RxCBD, Cedars-Sinai, Kaiser Permanente Orange County, and Cox Communications.
