Libations: Featuring four different bar offerings OtG is happy to welcome back Alembic Cocktail Bar and Magnolia Brewery for their 3rd season. Debuting this year, Quality Beverage Co. will offer a wine experience with flights, pairings and a full standing bar. Derby by Stag Dining Group introduces cocktails for the Prixe Fixe Lounge featuring barrel aged cocktails and spiked snow cones. Off the Grid began in June 2010 with the idea that grouping Street Food vendors together would create an experience that would allow neighbors to connect with friends, and families to reconnect with each other. Since then OtG has worked hard to develop markets that are both located in urban cores of cities, and that utilize spaces that are not easily activated during the day. Currently OtG operates 19 weekly markets in the greater Bay Area, and works with more than 150 vendors weekly.
