Opiniones de 51 & Tel Oakland
This place is so chic and the cocktails are innovative and refreshing. What I enjoyed most was Vegan Chula on the patio. The food was absolutely amazing. I am nowhere close to being vegan and the food blew my mind, the griddle corn cakes are to die for. If you’re looking for a place to have a delicious cocktail in a cool atmosphere with yummy food, you’ve found it. I could go on and on, but you should just experience this vibe for yourself :)
51 and Tel is an absolute treasure in Oakland’s cocktail scene! From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed by an inviting ambiance that strikes the perfect balance between chic and cozy. The cocktails are nothing short of spectacular—creative, expertly crafted, and full of vibrant flavors that showcase the bartenders’ incredible skill and attention to detail. Whether you’re a cocktail connoisseur or just looking to try something new, their menu has something for everyone. One of the standout features is the artwork displayed throughout the lounge. Created by a talented local artist, the pieces add a unique touch of personality and elevate the entire space. It’s wonderful to see a business that not only supports local talent but integrates it so seamlessly into their identity.
Only has drinks. Enjoyed the Old Fashion.
Large, stylish and spacious. We were a group of seven people and three dogs and could spread out when we first got there Saturday opening at 3 PM in the back patio. A few other parties came after us, but we were just there for one drink so I’m not sure how busy it got afterwards. We ordered at the bar and they have a full menu of interesting cocktails. I got the golden girl and it was a great balance, making it way too easy to drink. Did not try the food, but there was a vegan pop-up in the back patio with the QR codes around the bar to order online. The restrooms were separated by men and women and are spacious and clean.

Great new spot with excellent cocktails and a cute patio. Staff was friendly & the vibe was elevated yet unpretentious. We got a few of their signature cocktails and some standards and all were well-made. There was a bbq pop up that night, which was solid — excited to see what other vendors come through. I expect this to become a regular date night spot for us.
This is one of the most top rated lounges in the Bay Area. You're immediately required to show your ID to the security guard at the door who is giving you information on what to expect and what is expected of you to ensure that you enjoy yourself a menu for the bar is handed to you and your told to order your drinks from the bar and you can sit anywhere, if you like good food ask for a menu for the restaurant and when your order is ready one of the many staff will bring it to you inside or on the back patio with out door heaters on the lounge side or you can eat at the restaurant and come back over and have a drink later.
I've been here a few times now and the vibes are always great. Great place for a first date or to watch a game with your friends. Staff and security is always really friendly too.
Awesome addition to Telegraph. Lovely patio with heaters. Good cocktails. Had tacos on Tuesday night that were excellent (get the veggie). Bartender was very nice. Will definitely be back.
I really love this spot. I tell almost everyone about this place. The bartenders are the best!! It is a place for everyone. I know how that sounds but it’s true. I really hope the vibes continue.
Staff is always super friendly and welcoming. Music is great, drinks are delicious, and the vegan food on the patio is 🔥
Generous and welcoming, poured like I was an old friend 😁
Best drinks in the Bay area!!!! One of my favorite bars to go to in the area. Good music and beautiful art.
Great bartender. Great drinks.
Very fun vibe and great cocktails. Their signature Manhattan was the best nightcap. Espresso martini - well I could have had 3. Wish we tried seeing the back patio! But the vibe at the bar was warm and inviting.
The CUTEST bar!!! Came here for a few drinks with some friends and had the best time! Sexy vibes, amazing aesthetics, clever cocktails and they also had the most delicious vegan food I’ve ever tasted. Huge shoutout to Vegan Chula! I’m not even vegan but her corn cakes and Mac-n-cheese were 🤌🤌🤌🤌 delicious! We will definitely be back!

Delicious, intriguing cocktails here. Kind of an aesthetically confusing vibe because of the hip hop, sports TVs and street art murals, merged with moody red lighting, lux seating, and an unbelievable amount of kitschy 50s Christmas decor, but so far feels like an upscale-ish spot that doesn’t take itself toooooo seriously. Very welcome in the this neighborhood. Looking forward to checking out the patio once the weather is a bit better.
I love the new Vegan Chula Eats food option on the back patio! Bar gets crazy loud inside and the music selection is kinda boring but otherwise very cool spot
This place seems to be very busy (in a good way) almost any night you visit. The bartenders are very good and very fast getting your drinks to you!!!

The place is nice and there is patio as well, but got 1 drink with my friend and left to go somewhere else because Mojito tasted like tap water and her lemon drop didn’t taste like a lemon drop, also no salt rim, for $15 each drink we would expect more.

On Saturday night (16AUG25) at or around 12am, the bouncer refused to let me and my friends enter, the bouncer told us they were “full”. I understand that any establishment can refuse to let people into their business especially if they’re at max capacity, however, immediately after they let in the people that arrived after us. Even though no one had excited the bar. My friends and I had a bit of words back and forth with the bouncer (nothing disrespectful, just asking why we weren’t allowed in) and then the bouncer proceeded to say, “We treated you people well during Pride, ain’t no dykes getting in tonight”. Keep in mind I was with two male friends, so that slur was specifically directed towards me. After that, he told us that he was going to call the cops on us if we didn’t leave. We stayed because we were waiting for our friends that were already inside. I just want everyone to know if you plan on going to this bar, they are homophobic and do NOT give these people your money if you have common decency.
