A great place that starts out as a cafe and turns into a bar. Have stopped by for chill drinks on a Sunday afternoon and also to bring the house down for a Warriors game. They don't do cash (as of June 2022). Occasionally have food pop-ups as well.

Love the cocktails, atmosphere, and friendly service. Coffee is good too. Large group tables, and pet friendly. DJ booth in back near the restrooms. There was a food truck parked outside (on a Sunday) which was great too! Accepts cards.

Love this bar. A chill, cozy bar with excellent cocktails and a coffee counter with snacks till 3. You can easily meet friends or do work here. Dogs are welcome! They have a small outdoor patio, and plenty of indoor seating. With skylights the place is well lite. I'm never disappointed when visiting here.

Great local watering Hole. Super amazing service wonderful drinks and they have pop-up food out front that changes daily.

Nice bar, good prices. Friendly staff. Good vibes. Parking can be a little bit hard

Far and away my favorite bar in the Town. The space flexes for all occasions. I’ve found myself here to work, dance, day drink, wedding after party and everything in between. The drinks are for real delicious and everyone is friendly and welcoming. 6 stars.

i had a spicy strawberry margarita here the other day (okay fine, i had several) and they have quickly become my favorite cocktail in oakland. the vibes here are perfect for a intimate date or friend catch-up. unpretentious, yet tasteful. the bartenders were kind and respectful. i’ll be coming back for sure

The go to neighborhood bar. Always a great vibe, dog friendly, and good bartenders. Only wish is more beer options for the regulars.

My favorite bar by the lake. Great atmosphere, super friendly staff (the kind that remember your name). Love to sit at the counter and do the crossword with my wife. I hope they're here for a long time. Outdoor seating on the street too if it's a nice day and that's what you're looking for .

Great bar! The atmosphere was Great! The staff was very friendly. The bathroom was kept well cleaned. Since the bar isn't so big, it looks crowded with a handful of people. But perfect place to meet a date or take someone for a drink or two. The staff serves drink pretty quick, and kept interacting with everyone. When I am back in town, I will sure visit them once again for couple drinks. No parking around, it probably would be best to catch uber like I did. Have fun!

April 5, 2025 good selection of cocktails around $12. Awesome DJ set up.

Excellent bar with nice atmosphere and cool bartenders. I suppose I'm biased because I DJ here but I dig this place - especially the DJ booth. Great sound! And drinks. Cheers

Loved the vibe of this bar, went in to meet some friends. I love the location, decent street parking for 5pm. The drinks were well made and the bartender was nice to chat with. Next time I’m in the town might have to swing by again!

Amazing place! Definitely recommend for someone looking to meet up with a friend for a quick (or long) drink Despite 2 bartenders being on duty at the time one indivual practically ignore some of the people trying to order while the other served whoever she was helping at the time. The place wasn't that busy but at least some acknowledgement would be nice. A simple "we'll be right with you" can go a long way. Other than that, drinks are good and environment is really chill.

Went to the bar early was nice vibe and chill good space. Came back later that night and had an awful interaction with the bouncer. I simply gave him my ID and he felt he couldnt see it and got increasingly hostile with me for absolutely no reason. Not once did I raise my voice but he did and escalated to telling me I could go somewhere else to which I gladly did. I was with a local who said its his typical behavior and as a woman to have a man be that way was rude and uncomfortable. I wanted to report him to the staff but decided it wasnt worth it so coming here. He definitely needs a talking to being that aggressive is not normal for literally no reason I never said anything wrong or did anything mean to him to be treated like that.

Although it's clean in there and this place used to be my hangout, when I lived nearby I can say the Soul of this place is gone. I just visited for nostalgia purposes and ordered a Manhattan. The B-tender began to walk away, I asked about at least 2 kinds of Burbon, "No" and kept walking away. He went over and filled my glass with the pre-made item I said "what is this? He said, Oh I thought you wanted what was on the menu. Do you want to keep it open?" Before I could answer he walked away. I took 2 drinks from my glass and closed out. (It's uncomfortable, I'm blk he's white, you do the math 🤷🏾‍♀️. That's that for me, I won't be back.😎🫡✌🏾

Room 389 in downtown Oakland had potential — cool location, decent crowd, music was alright. But all of that went out the window thanks to one incredibly rude bartender. I was out celebrating my birthday and asked, politely, if they offered any kind of birthday discount for a drink. Not only was I met with a flat-out “no,” but the way it was said was condescending and dismissive, like I was out of line just for asking. No smile, no courtesy — just straight attitude. The energy shifted immediately. It made me — and the people I was with — feel unwelcome, like we were bothering them by being there. It’s one thing to not offer a discount, but it’s another to treat a customer with zero respect. Especially when they’re out trying to enjoy their birthday. That bartender’s attitude single-handedly ruined the vibe of the night. Won’t be coming back Wouldn’t recommend to celebrate birthdays here. 60 bucks just on three drinks
