This Sonoma County Lakeside Property Will Live as a Brewery Again
A local beer garden is giving a defunct Sonoma County brewery space a new lease on life. The team at Brewsters Beer Garden is nearing completion on their new Waterhawk Lake Club, remodeling the former Bear Republic Brewing Co. location in Rohnert Park. This restaurant is a separate project from the original sprawling Petaluma restaurant. Co-owner Mike Goebel told Sonoma Magazine the vibe will be similar, though, with lots of outdoor seating and approachable food.
An Instagram post on Sunday, July 13, from Brewsters showcased a bit of the new restaurant. The huge space, which sits next to Roberts Lake, has sat vacant for two years. In April 2025, the Press Democrat reported Brewsters had taken the lease. The Bear Republic location shut down after local player Drake's Brewing Co. acquired the business and moved operations to San Leandro. A final opening date for Waterhawk Lake Club is still TBD.
SF's carb party is back for a third year

New specialty cafe hits Japantown
Best Boy Electric, a new coffee shop, just popped up in an area not known for its swanky pour-over coffee services.

The business is open every day of the week, with Monday through Friday service 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and weekends 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

7 Fruity Nail Ideas (With A K-Beauty Twist) To Brighten Your Day
If you're feeling a bit gloomy in the depths of Australian winter, why not look for inspiration from overseas to brighten your day? In Seoul, summer is in full swing, and there's a trend sweeping the city that could help boost your mood. Just ahead of my next nail appointment, I've been looking to my fellow subway commuters and their freshly painted tips for some inspiration, which is how I noticed that fruit motifs are everywhere. Think crisp watermelon slices, sparkly strawberries, and 3D peaches that almost look good enough to eat. Whether you're into whimsical designs or crave a more minimal take on the trend, there's a juicy fruit nail set for everyone. Peruse the seven examples below and get ready for your most delicious manicure yet. Apple Peel Nails View this post on Instagram A post shared by 🌼Melody Made🌼 (@ For a twist on the classic red mani, we love this crimson gradient with slices of golden yellow. The understated effect mimics the texture of an apple peel, without being too fruit-forward. Fruit Salad View this post on Instagram A post shared by 네일옐루 홍대네일 연남동네일 (@nail_yellu) With its candy-coated colours, cartoonishly rotund shapes, and glossy, syrupy glaze, this three-dimensional take on fruity nails feels perfect, especially when paired with crisp white linen. Sparkly Strawberries View this post on Instagram A post shared by 서대문, 충정로 더 네일 (@the____nail) If you want to highlight your favourite fruit, may we suggest this dazzling strawberry set? Painted over a neutral base and topped with metallic green stars, these are as sweet as it gets. Mix & Match Fruit View this post on Instagram A post shared by 미미네일 | 까치산네일 화곡동네일 강서구네일 신월동네일 (@_.miminail) If 3D glitter strawberries aren't your jam (pun intended), try a slightly less flashy — but no less fun — take with a daintier 3D fruit for a party on your nails. If you want to level up, mix and match your tips to include some solid colours and softer gradients among your fruit accent nails. Fruit Marbling View this post on Instagram A post shared by 네일유메온 | 빛가람동네일 | 나주네일 (@nail_yume.on) Figs, grapes, peaches, and plums: There's so much beauty right on the surface of these fruits, which is captured brilliantly in these artistic designs. Through a masterful combination of marbling techniques and meticulous speckling, these subtle nuances make for a truly unique mani moment. Grape Expectations View this post on Instagram A post shared by 네일누하🌱 서촌네일 경복궁네일 광화문네일 (@ Another fruity option that may appeal to mani minimalists is this reflective, wine-colored set, which shines in more ways than one. Speckled Watermelons View this post on Instagram A post shared by 일산네일 리턴핑크 일산교육지사 뉘앙스네일 키치네일 y2k네일 : 굽죠잉 대표원장 송혜림 (@goobjoying) Watermelons offer a refreshing break from traditional winter muted manicures. In a sea of standard watermelon slices and rind-striped designs, this abstract rendering offers a refreshing alternative.

First Look at HBO's 'Harry Potter' Reboot Has the Internet Completely Divided
First Look at HBO's 'Harry Potter' Reboot Has the Internet Completely Divided originally appeared on Parade. HBO just released the first look of the new Harry Potter television series - and fans are completely split. After the network unveiled the first official image from the highly-anticipated series on Instagram, devoted fans took to the comment section to share their excitement for the new adaptation. "Okay wait. This kid even looks like the cover art for the books more than Daniel [Radcliffe]. Good stuff." wrote one commenter. "HE IS PERFECT! ⚡️" added another. Some fans, however, had a more negative reaction to the new series, claiming no actor could replace the iconic Daniel Radcliffe, who starred as Potter in the film franchise. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 "This photo confirms the reboot is so unnecessary. It's basically the same." said one user. "There is just one Harry to me, sorry. This series is so unnecessary." wrote another. Others felt indifferent about the reboot - but expressed disinterest in supporting Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling after she's come under fire for her transphobic views. Rowling is set to serve as an executive producer on the HBO series. "Won't support JKR but I hope the kids do well." commented one fan. "I just wish the money from this wouldn't be used by this evil woman." wrote another. Despite the mixed reactions, it seems like most fans are in agreement that the new Harry Potter actor, Dominic McLaughlin, is the spitting image of his character. Some commenters are even calling on HBO and Warner Bros. to protect McLaughlin and the other child actors from the onslaught of hate when the controversial series eventually goes to air. Production on the new HBO Original series is currently underway at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in the U.K., the same studio that housed much of the original film franchise. The series is set to debut in 2027 on HBO and HBO Max. HBO has previously described the reboot as a "faithful adaptation" of Rowling's seven Harry Potter books, with each season expected to cover one installment in the series. The show will exist independently from the original film franchise.
