The Barbary

Such a cool atmosphere to have some drinks. It’s always a cool vibe to catch with some friends. I love the funky pictures they’ve got on the walls. Of course, the drinks are good too!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My wife recently hosted a surprise birthday party for me at The Barbary and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! The staff went above and beyond to make our celebration truly special. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. The back lounge area, where our private party was set up, exceeded all expectations. The ambiance was perfect for our gathering, with cozy seating and just the right lighting to set the mood. The decorations added a festive touch that made the birthday celebration even more memorable. The patio out front is a wonderful place to hang out and get some fresh air. Outdoor heaters and the seating makes it a very comfortable space to hang out outdoors when you want to step out from the bar. Throughout the evening, the staff ensured that all our needs were met, from keeping the drinks flowing to attending to any requests we had. Their attentiveness and friendly demeanor truly made us feel like valued guests. George (Security) was very welcoming and friendly and has such an inviting personality that you can’t resist going in for a drink. Nargis was our contact and assisted in organizing the party and everything from A to Z. She is amazing! Nala and another gentleman who tend the bar were also very friendly, inviting, and made it a point to ensure we were taken care of. Overall, I can't recommend The Barbary highly enough for anyone looking to host a private event. Thank you to the entire team for making our birthday celebration unforgettable! We'll definitely be back for more memorable moments. 🎉🍹🎂

Many signature cocktails to choose from along with classics. Hookah is available on Fridays. There's often live music, a dj or belly dancers as entertainment. There's 3 tvs, and a patio area. Mondays are Industry/Karaoke night.

Fun spot in the neighborhood to grab drinks with friends. Love the wallpaper and the drinks are tasty. If you have a bigger group get there early and snag the booths in the back.

Great service, fun drinks, great atmosphere — a welcome tiki cocktail bar addition to Grand Lake! 🏝️🍹🍸 (came in on Tuesday of their opening week, and stayed to try almost the entire menu!)

The Barbary is hands down my favorite new spot! The atmosphere is amazing but the service and the staff are even better making the experience one to remember! Selfies come out on point! The handcrafted drinks are a must try for seasoned drinkers and explorers alike!

Totally awesome, and like you know like cool and stuff. I got drunk but like had a good time with my budz and galz. Just chillin' to the bone. Praise jah!

First off, the drinks — wow. They’ve got this amazing range of cocktails that will make you want to try one of everything. Whether you’re a classic cocktail connoisseur or you like a little creative twist in your drink, they’ve got something to impress. The bartenders here really know their stuff, and you can tell they take pride in crafting the perfect drink. I had a few rounds of their signature cocktails, and let me tell you, they do not disappoint. It's got that perfect mix of laid-back and high-energy. The vibe is super inviting, with a cool, eclectic crowd and a lot of fun energy in the air. Whether you're just there to enjoy a drink or you’re ready to dance, there’s space for both. The music is on point, and the crowd is just as good—fun, friendly, and ready to have a great time.

What a great ambiance and the decor definitely matches the vibe of the bar. Such an amazing and friendly staff — especially that bartender with the Italian hat!

I went during happy hour on a Thursday. The vibe was very good, with lots of regulars and a nice ambience and decor, and the drinks are excellent. The owner is very friendly and a great host. Looking forward to my next visit!

My friend I walked past this bar on our way to dinner and couldn't help but pop in. The drink menu is mostly cocktails but they have some beer as well, and some solid NA options (not just juice). The staff were so friendly and down to earth, the other patrons were cool, and the atmosphere was kinda dark and lounge-y and clean. The patio outside looked nice but we didn't hang out there. We happened to be there on Live Jazz Night (every Saturday) and the vibe was so good! The bartender said they have Middle Eastern Night once a week too. I can't wait to go back and get to know this new spot better!

Loving the vibes and all the drinks are so unique! My favorite is the Trader Spice! It's a super chill spot to go with friends or even on dates. The outside seating is really nice and cozy. There is even a romantic space in the back next to the fireplace. Really glad Oakland has an amazing spot like this!!

The best experience! Love that Barbary has partnered with the best hookah experience. Lovey is a game changer to the space. Thank you!!

Ah, the Barbs, a local favorite. Easily one of our favorite bars to visit for a cheeky cocktail, dance party or hookah on the weekends. Highly recommend checking them out!

I had a great time at The Barbary, the vibe was great from the second i walked in. The owners and staff are all so friendly and helpful. The place is super cute with really great decor that makes for a great atmosphere.

New spot in the area and it didn’t disappoint! The decor is absolutely amazing inside. Skilled bartenders make some great tasting unique drinks! I’ll be back whenever in the area for sure!
