Sessions on 15th Oakland Reviews
4.5 ⭐️ This place is cozy! Afro-futuristic art and vinyl bar in uptown Oakland serving select cocktails with dim lighting and a casual atmosphere. I tried the Taloma, a tamarind version of a Paloma and it was a great cocktail. Plenty of seating. Check out their socials for upcoming events and DJs. I’ve yet to attend any of their vinyl events since I’ve only come here a few times but I do like their record collection. Good location, near plenty of other bars and dining in the area.
Gorgeous Afrofuturistic design, friendly bartender, excellent drinks!
Great cocktails, locally owned. Friendly vibe. Highly recommend.

Hands down my favorite bar in Oakland! The design is gorgeous and unique. The craftsmanship and care that went into making it so lovely is plainly apparent. The cocktails are delicious and the vibe is friendly and down to earth.
My new favorite cocktail bar! So glad these guys opened up. Super cute, great vibe, great music, friendly bartenders and very tasty cocktails! 10/10 I am bringing all my friends here soon
Did yoga for the first time. It was really great. Look forward to the next class.
Cute and cosy lowkey bar with nice music, not too loud that people cannot hear each other speak. Really calming yet colorful interior decor filled with records and artwork. Relatively affordable drink prices as well.
Quirky and colorful cocktail bar tucked into a nook of downtown Oakland. Funky, groovy atmosphere with a drink menu and bar tenders to match. Probably your best selection of vinyls in the bay!
First time at this bar and it’s Oakland Pride. Sally is a beauty! The music is amazing! Whoever did these remixes is amazing! I can’t wait to come back!
Babe is literally the best! Love the vibe they bring to the bar. The perfect date spot or place to grab a chill drink with amazing vibes
Lovely space, stylish music taste, great bartender energy, and standout but subtle drinks
Do yourself a favor and go. Chill vibes. Fresh vinyl on tap for your ears. Good decor.
The coolest bar I’ve been to in town. Pictures don’t do the atmosphere justice!
Amazing space, warm vibes, very intimate and they play vinyl!
This place is amazing!! Very stylish and retro setup.
One of those vibes. 5 stars.

Only one bartender on a Friday night for over 60 folks
Great for the soul
Only one bartender on a Friday night for over 60 folks
This was my second time here from out of town to visit a friend in the area. Art and atmosphere are amazing. Drinks are pricey. The trip this weekend resulted in my credit card being lost by the one and only bartender even though I asked to close out after the first round. Both times I have been here there is only one staff which they may want to rethink. I feel like there was a lack of concern about finding my card which may have been because there was only one person to serve people. I now have to cancel my accounts. Very disappointed.
