I'm pretty sure the drink I ordered was called "Hollaback" and oh my gosh it was the best drinks i've ever had ! So delicious ! I'm not sure if it's still available but if you're a banana fan try it ASAP !!! Also, the outdoor seating at night is def a vibe. Perfect place to come after a long day or just to hang out and chill.

Love this place. About two weeks ago someone spilled my drink and when I told the bartender he just made me another one no questions asked. I also asked for a Hemingway daiquiri and the bartender didn't bat an eye. Made one of the best ones I've had in a while.

Gooood vibes in this place Perfect spot to hang with any group size. Theres outdoor seating in the front and bocci ball in the back. The security is very nice, joked with me a bit as we came in. Good place to start or end the night in down town Oakland. Its in close proximity to a bunch of other good bars and restaurants.

This local cocktail bar has great indoor bocce which may or may not be available when you visit. The drinks are delicious and the staff is friendly. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. As the night gets later. Sometimes there is dancing!

Awesome Corner Bar great atmosphere bartenders make awesome drinks, they're not just pouring rotgut into a glass. Good bar food menu, you have to try their popcorn it's spicy but well worth it. They have a bocce ball court in the back inside which I have never seen before. The place can get loud especially on game days but I think it just adds to the atmosphere of a fun evening. Maybe not the place for a get-to-know-you date but great for drinks after work with coworkers. Or late night before or after a show at the Fox theater across the street.

Good place to start off the night (or end it). Nice atmosphere. Drinks are decently priced. Bocce ball towards the back of the place is fun. Can get packed at certain times especially if there's a show across the street at the theater.

This. Place. Is. Dope! I always give respect to a bar that has St. Germain infused drinks on their menu.! The bocce ball space, the lighting, the vault, all super cute! Hella tasty empanadas, double bonus points because they had turkey bacon inside! ONLY reason they get four stars it's because my homie Dan said they had an amazing oxtail sandwich on the menu and it was gone so I couldn't try it. Please consider bringing it back? Highly recommend this spot in Downtown, NOT uptown, Oakland! 🔥💥✨💫

I came here for a Warriors game and enjoyed myself. We were able to get a much-coveted table and a view of the large projection screen. The cocktails albeit pricey were excellent. I enjoyed the "Buffala Negra" and popcorn and the chicken sandwich. I look forward to coming back.

Fancy cocktails and cheap beer. They have 2 bocce courts inside. It's almost always busy and can get loud.

Great atmosphere, ecclectic popcorn options, and free indoor bocce ball.

Loved this spot. Big, open space, although a bit busy at the bar. Bartenders were friendly just slammed and working to keep all the thirsty humans happy. Seems lively and fun, with tons of great cocktails to choose from. Outside seating is a plus, not to mention a good looking (smallish) menu of apps and sandwiches, etc. I got a sandwich and it was plenty of food for dinner. A good number of beer, and a great location in Oakland. I'll be back

Great place to grab a drink on the weekend or even after work on the weekdays. Can get a little rowdy on first Friday and has the occasional douche but altogether a good place. Most Bartenders can make a good cocktail but I have definitely been burned on a basic drink so when you find a good bartender stay with that one

A few of my friends and I visited this bar after an event up the street. Honestly, I'm surprised I've never really been inside of here. Since this is the location that one of my teachers constantly frequented. It was very interesting to finally be able to go inside after seeing him there so many times. All in all the bar is really nice, and the service is pretty good. There's also a cute little gaming station in the back, though I don't know what the heck the game is.

They have very good drink selection; especially, their cocktails and at a very reasonable rate. Their draft beer selection is very good, as well. The bartenders are awesome and they’ve been in business for awhile. Last but not least, they offer decent snacks like empanadas and popcorn, especially, when you have been drinking.

What a great stop off after a long day. We had some drinks and food. It was unclear that we had to stand and go to the bar to be served, verses sitting at the table. Place was old but clean. If I am in that area again, I would stop in!

Came in with some friends for a drink one late Friday night. It was the night of First Friday, so I imagine it was extra busy this one night. It was super packed and extremely hard to move around. There wasn't anywhere for us to really stand. And breathing was even difficult. We didn't end up staying long, but we had a few drinks. Service was good. Prices are standard. I could see how this place could be a cool spot if it wasn't so crowded. Hip little spot right on the corner of Telegraph.

Fun atmosphere and a cool vibe, enjoyed the artwork on the walls but the cocktails were absolutely horrible. My margarita was 90% simple syrup, just plan bad… Will get beer next time!

As someone who used to be semi regular here, its disappointing to get bad vibes from this place. The pandemic definitely affected this place. It used to get people from the fox theater and other businesses in the area so it was more lively. Also, It does not look like people are happy working here as I didn't feel welcomed. I did notice the bartender was dealing with a rude customer...so I guess that energy just get passed on. (however...didn't feel good energy from anyone) Hopefully it goes back to being a cool "hang out spot" or "spot to take a date" and not a "unwelcoming odd club music bar" once the pandemic is behind us. Everyone who I remember at this bar doesn't look to work there anymore.
