Happy holidays friends and family of Make Westing!
We just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that ownership is changing in the New Year. We, the original owners, had an amazing 12+ years (well, 8+ with covid), and we are forever grateful for your support. Our proudest accomplishment is the amazing community we built and providing jobs for our incredible, hard-working staff. Be it watching the Warriors in the finals, or serving as a space for nonprofits, or even the many first dates over bocce ball, it's been an honor to serve as the "front porch of Oakland."
New Year's Eve will be the last day of operations under the original ownership group and the new owners will take over in early 2024 to start the next chapter of Make Westing with a refreshed atmosphere, live music and new signature cocktails. So please stay tuned for the grand opening announcement. But for now and as always, we will have our annual free champagne toast at midnight New Year's Eve. We'd love to have you there to help us ring in the new year and Make Westing's next chapter!
From the story itself:
"Whatever you do, make westing! make westing! It was an obsession. He thought of nothing else, except, at times, to blaspheme God for sending such bitter weather." The storm is finally passing and it's time to set sail. Onward!
