Torch Bar Oakland Reviews
Very nice place…great view.
Very nice place…great view.
The atmosphere and views are definitely amazing at night
Great people! Great owners
Grown folks vibes. Excellent customer service, drinks on point, beautiful view
The owner is very understanding of his surroundings and implementing the changes needed as heard by his community. I love to see it and the growth! I truly appreciate this from a new venue in Oakland. Beautiful landscape and upscale vibes. The view is my favorite part as well as the aesthetic. Torch offers a different take on Oakland nightlife that is much needed and well received by me. Keep going Torch! I love it here. The owner is also very respectful, has integrity and is very humble.
Went here for the Eclat Noir brand launch. Lovely ambiance, beautiful folx
I dont know what the gratuity was for because they brought my bottle service out and I never seen them again horrible they didn't deserve shit for a tip
The Paint and Sip with karaoke 🎤🔥🔥🔥. Atmosphere is very inviting. Drinks are on point! Staff is courteous. Will be returning!!
If you're looking for a cool spot to hang out with friends and enjoy the city view, you should definitely check out the Torch Lounge. The rooftop area is super dope with plenty of sitting areas. Whether you want to sit at a table, lounge on a couch, or stand at the bar, there's a spot for everyone. The view from the rooftop is fantastic and really adds to the ambiance of the place. It's a great spot to take some photos and capture the city skyline. Overall, the Torch Lounge is a great spot to chill with friends and enjoy the atmosphere. The rooftop seating is definitely the highlight of this lounge, and I highly recommend checking it out.
Love love love Torch! What a hidden gem in Oakland! Everything in this place is on point! The owner Romy and his wife Anderia are some of the nicest people I've ever met! Our group of girls had the best time at Torch that we considered missing the concert that we went to Oakland for lol! Can't wait to go back or possibly even host an event there! What a vibe!
This was a catered venue, drinks were good.
Attended Super Bowl watch party!! We had a great time. Music was on point, drinks were on point, so was the hookah and cigars!!
I went to a private party here, it was such a nice space!! Drinks were great and bartenders were lovely.

Rami went above and beyond to help coordinate an event at Torch! I could not be happier with the customer service and ease of communication!

Went here on a Saturday night, and off top, it was a $30 cover as soon as the doors opened. The venue is very nice and the staff was also nice and accommodating. My only gripe was the bar. It took upwards of 25 to 30 mins to get a drink, which was very unusual. Beyond that, the vibe was chill and mature, and everyone was dressed to impress.

The venue interior is nice, but a nice lounge might be the most it has going for it. Be prepared to pay $20 for a dixie cup of vodka red bull ... Maybe just pass on the bar.
I came out to visit with my cousin and she invited me to this place. It cost a lot to get in maybe Im jus not used to paying idk but it seem like a high price. The drink that the bar tender made for my cousin was like 2/4 of the cup(dixie water cup) and it was almost $20. I ordered wine and it was good. As im drinking my cup of wine a huge man bum rushed his way behind the bar to hug a bar tender and almost knocked my drink out of my hand. Didnt say sorry or excuse me. Idk if he worked there or if he jus always goes there either way that was rude. The security was nice and funny. Over all I wouldnt go back here or recommend but i guess it is nice to have a spot in oakland to party. Also I do love the chef they had there I have eaten his food before but I didnt get anything this night although it looked really good.

Very poor customer service, it's oakland cmon gimme a break. Stop trying to market yourselves like a New York, LA, Miami upscale venue. Sorry, you're in oakland. Learn some customer service please
Overpriced drinks that felt water downed. The entrance fee of $25 was not worth it, and the music was not on point. I don't think I will be going back. I expected better and more. BORING vibe. The money is not a problem for me, but to pay $42 for a drink that was water down was not ok. The rooftop itself is nice, but I have been to better. Your response is nasty because you did not like my honest review of the experience I had at your location. And yes, I did pay $25 at the door and the lady keyed us to the rooftop. It was a Saturday night through a PROMOTER that usually throws good events. Unfortunately, this one was a miss for me. Your location is so exclusive that I never even heard of it until this event, this is why I usually attend events in SF which are more upscale and dress code enforced. Do your due diligence before responding rudely to a review. 🤦♀️🤷♀️
How could it be! We are in at an upscale roof top bar in Downtown Oakland and the only music that is played is Disco pop, No R&B No Jazz two thumbs down for the prices we pay to come to the roof top. 90% of the patriots are African American. This place does not play any R&B WOW WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT! DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY
