Citing the apparent lack of interest (one night he was there) in the few reserved tables at Local Edition, the Chron’s Jon Bonné today pens a rant about how reservation-only bars are over, as far as he’s concerned. “Access to the modern cocktail is closer in spirit to Kogi, Wise Sons, or Swan Oyster Depot than it is to four-star dining,” he writes. We’d argue that places like Wilson & Wilson still serve an important function for cocktail nerds who want good service and don’t want to jockey for space at the bar at the Alembic and wait ten minutes for a drink. But anyway. Blogs are for ranting. [Scoop]
