THE LEDE IS A NEIGHBORHOOD COCKTAIL BAR FEATURING PLAYFUL AND FRESH CALIFORNIA FOOD FOR SNACKING AND SHARING. The Lede was created as a community space. It has been through many lives in its journey to its current self, with energy and support from a beautiful creative community. Now, owners Becki Couch-Alvarado & Joaquin Alvarado are committed to building on the original vision by bringing people together to share ideas, collaborate and connect. We believe in the power of the arts, storytelling and truth-telling and use The Lede as a space to activate, engage, and support our community.
