If you like cured meats in a nice but non pretentious setting Adesso is THE place to go in the bay area. Might be the best happy hour on the Ave. I love the cocktails and the delicious (free) treats. 4395 piedmont ave (at the corner of pleasant valley road) oakland, ca 94611 (510) 601-0305 http://www.dopoadesso.com/adesso/
