This is a list of the Bay Area's most notable restaurant and bar openings , with new updates published once a week. Did we miss something great? Please, drop us a line . June 5 EMBARCADERO — IRL cookie monsters (and, hey, Cookie Monster, too) will most likely want to hear the news that Gott's Roadside has launched a new cookie counter at its Ferry Building location as of Wednesday, June 4. So far, four flavors are on the menu, including a classic chocolate chip and a double chocolate peanut butter option, but it's pairable with one of three 'dipping milks' — we're looking at the strawberry milk option.

A top S.F. brewery is ready to open on the waterfront
San Francisco's perennially popular brewery Standard Deviant, among the Chronicle's list of the best in the Bay Area, is opening its newest taproom and production facility on Friday. Standard Deviant will pour more than 20 of its beers from a 30-foot-long bar inside a refurbished shipbuilding facility in Building 12 at Pier 70 in Dogpatch, part of a major redevelopment of the site. Operating partner Paul Duatschek said he and fellow operators Mark DeVito and Peter Vitt are excited to offer their range of beers, which the team cheekily boasts are the 'coldest tasting beer in San Francisco.' Taps at Pier 70 are ready to go with classic European styles like Belgian blondes, Kolsches and a crisp Hefeweissen. Other beers include barrel-aged offerings, West Coast-style IPAs and horchata-flavored nitro cream ales, with an extra rich body. Just like Standard Deviant's first outpost in the Mission District, beers will be produced in-house and in plain view for anyone curious about the process. 'We always wanted customers to have open access and look at our operations so they understand how we're making beer in San Francisco,' Duatschek said. The production facility is fitted with a 20-barrel system that can produce between 4,000 and 6,000 barrels of beer per year, roughly double or triple of the original location's output. With the craft beer industry stagnating, the goal is to grow at a sustainable pace and continue to self distribute in the city and slowly into more corners of the Bay Area. The Standard Deviant team recently wrapped up the last bits of work and training inside the new facility. The space still bears an industrial feel with exposed steel girders, but is softened by natural light from the tall windows, wooden elements and bright artwork on walls. The location offers a space for private events as well. The brewery arrives as Pier 70 positions itself as a hotspot for local artisans and creatives manufacturing ceramics, jewelry and custom sneakers inside the football field-sized facility. Buzzy Asian-American bakery Breadbelly is also in the works to open this summer, adding another food business to the project. Real estate company Brookfield aims to make Building 12 the centerpiece of its 28-acre mixed-use development on San Francisco's central waterfront. 'Brookfield really wanted brands that represented San Francisco well,' Duatschek said. 'We want to be a representation of crafting things well in San Francisco. We're doubling down on that.' 70 Pier, San Francisco.
