Luka's Oakland Owners Bar Skula Will Be At Sidebar Restaurant Location - City Of Oakland Should Help According to Maria Alderete, one-half of the team who ran that staple of Oakland culture Luka's but were forced to close it because of the economic pressure of the Pandemic, have announced that they're planning a new eatery called Bar Skula and to be located at 522 Grand Avenue, most recently, the location of Sidebar Restaurant, which closed in January. Bar Skula would be the latest in a long-line of memorable restaurants to occupy that space. The one I really enjoyed was LePetit, which had the best Cassoulet I've ever had in my life. It was also, no surprise, a great date place, Friday night was couples night there. A visit to LePetit was a great way to see who had switched to whom, and just hope that it wasn't someone you believed you were with. Ah those were the days. Anyway, Maria's partner Rick Mitchell said to a media outlet “We’re definitely trying to balance something new with the classics that our customers want and expect. We don’t want people to be disappointed when they show up.” “It’s still a very difficult time for restaurants in Oakland… but we’re going to barrel through regardless,” And that gets to my point : the City of Oakland can help businesses and residents via the use of tax increment financing, just ask it has done in the past before Governor Jerry Brown stopped it in 2011. Jerry originally said that it was to cut the deficit, but later in 2020 said to KQED he did not like TIF being used to produce affordable housing. Now, we do not use it at all at a time when legislation allows us to apply TIF to help businesses and now fire stations.
