cALISWAG BuRGER The Powder Keg Pub A Seafood Restaurant, Bar and More! Living and working in big cities, such as San Francisco, can be a wonderful culinary and social experience. One can find restaurants offering nearly every type of ethnic cuisine, and there are plenty of taverns, bars, and cocktail lounges to meet the needs of the masses. So when Powder Keg Owners, Gigi Reloj and Nicolette Endriga moved from SF to suburban Hercules over a decade ago, they found that they missed the dining experiences they were used to enjoying— most notably, they missed the wonderful seafood and sushi that they love so much. They found themselves returning repeatedly to SF to dine and socialize. After a while, their entrepreneurial sides emerged and they decided to bring some of what they loved about San Francisco to Hercules. Before opening The Powder Keg Pub six years ago, Gigi and Nicolette established themselves in Hercules with the opening of the Shinsen Sushi Restaurant. They owned and operated Shinsen Sushi for three years. When they decided to expand to open a venue with more seafood options, an expanded menu, and a full bar, they sold Shinsen Sushi, and soon after opened Powder Keg. Powder Keg Pub is located in a mostly residential neighborhood on the corner of Sycamore and Railroad Avenues, near the central waterfront in Hercules. It is somewhat small inside, but has a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. There are approximately twelve to fourteen tables inside, a seafood bar that seats approximately 10 – 12 guests, and a full beverage bar with seating for eight. There is also ample outdoor patio seating in the front and on the side of the building, perfect for enjoying the warm, sunny weather and gentle bay breezes. restaurant review 2132 RAILROAd AvENuE IN HERcuLES | (510) 724-7300 | POWdERKEGPuB.cOm by vickie lewis
