This is pretty cool, I have great memories of the old Loring in Minneapolis. It closed then moved and reopened after Paul and I left Minnesota so I've never tried the current incarnation.
I think my positive memories revolve more around the amazing, funky space than the food or drinks but I'll certainly give the Oakland outpost a try once it opens.

Wow. Definitely worth checking out when it opens. Had many memories at the one in Minneapolis.
