Checking in on the Progress at Downtown's Newest Bar

Vacant since a 2013 remodel, the two-level, 3,300-square-foot, former Art Haus building will finally be filled downtown.

Revealed back in October, Three Sheets Craft Beer Bar has made quick progress in upgrading the space located across Casino Center Drive from Vesta Coffee Roasters. Earlier this month, the owners announced they were hoping for a March debut.

The original location in Dublin, California, 35 miles east of downtown San Francisco, is operated by two self-described “craft beer nerds,” Wendy Rather and Stefanie Jackel. The team prefer “leaving the food to the experts in the area” and encouraging patrons to “bring in your own food (BYOF)” or dine from a roster of scheduled food trucks.

Conveniently keeping the large “bar” sign that dominates the outside of the building, a remnant from failed speakeasy project The Hawthorne, Three Sheets recently finished priming the front and have begun painting the space with a gray ceiling and blue walls, plus installing a “galvanized steer bar top.”

Expected to favor local brews, the bar will continue its tradition of more than 20 “taps of premier craft beer rotating frequently for you to explore.”
