It's Just Lunch...Unless It's Lunch at the Club!

A decent commute on MUNI (hey, one can hope, right?!) that gives me some nice reading time. Saying “Good morning” to my fellow coworkers and awaiting a productive and interesting day. An evening run along the Embarcadero. Every day I try to think of the “little things” I have to look forward to, as having these highlights makes the day pass that much more pleasantly.

Sometime around late morning, however, what I begin looking forward to is LUNCH! I am admittedly proud to work for The City Club, where our Executive Chef Michael Munoz prepares an elaborate and unique menu for you, our Members, to enjoy every day.

On The City Club’s daily lunch buffet, you can expect a full array of salad options to choose from, as well as a delectable carvery display and seasonal accompaniments, a sandwich station, and a medley of sinfully delicious desserts. But did you know that each day’s buffet has its own theme, and that the daily menu can be found, available on our website, every day after 11AM on our City Club Calendar of Events?

As a reminder of our themes:

Monday – Comfort Food

Tuesday – Dim Sum

Wednesday – Sushi

Thursday – International Day

Friday – Prime Rib, Shrimp & Oysters

I don’t know about you, but with these tantalizing offerings available online to entice you to come to The City Club for lunch, I’d have our calendar bookmarked! Better yet, come taste for yourself why lunch at The City Club can be a highlight of your day, as well!

I look forward to seeing you at the Club soon!

In Need of a Fresh Summer Cocktail?

The City Club Bar has you covered!


Food and Beverage Manager Dwayne Arikawa has a simple yet refreshing cocktail that will bring a little bit of cooling mint and bubbly sparkles into your bar or backyard!  Here's a how-to guide for bringing a little bit of Cuba into your home this summer:


Dwayne Arikawa's "City Club Mojito"




12-15 Mint Leaves


2 oz Light Rum (Oronoco Rum Suggested)


4-6 oz soda water (Ginger Beer Substitute can be used as well)


1-2 cubes of raw brown sugar (or simple syrup)


One half lime


Cocktail Shaker


1 cup of ice


1 Collins glass


1 muddling stick (or any other kitchen tool that will muddle)




Using a wooden muddling stick, muddle mint leaves with the brown sugar or simple syrup at the bottom of your cocktail shaker until the mint is slightly bruised and the sugar has dissolved just a bit.  Then, add your rum and squeeze the juice of one half a lime into the mixture.  Add half a cup of ice.  Pour this mixture into your cocktail shaker, and shake vigorously for about 5 seconds.  Pour the shaken mixture into your glass, and top off with the remaining ice, and the desired amount of soda water you'd like (4-6 oz) and stir gently to blend all the ingredients.   Garnish with a mint leaf and lime wedge.  Mentally transport yourself to Cuba and enjoy!


You may substitute unflavored soda water with ginger beer, however if you do so make a note to use slightly less sugar than previously recommended to avoid making your cocktail too sweet.


Cheers!
