“Always an interesting experience and fun treat. Classic cocktails in a classic atmosphere. Service is on point! Food is innovative yet still comforting and familiar. Never disappointed.“

“Go to this place if you want to hear some blues on a Saturday nite. The jam starts at 6. Bring your harmonica, bass, sax, etc and play some blues. The local talent is dope! Get a stiff drink or two and chill.“

“I came in last Friday while trying to explore bars in Oakland, and think I may have found my favorite bar of the area.

The atmosphere is dark, comfortable, subdued- perfect for lounging and conversation. The service is friendly and professional. I can't speak to the quality of the music and listening equipment, as I didn't interact with that on my visit, but I have heard it is excellent. What really made me love this place, though, was the quality and creativity of the cocktails.

When I go out for drinks, above all, I like to try new things. The drinks on offer at Bar Shiru were this and more: unexpected twists on classic recipes and fantastic original creations. Ingredients I never though could work together were paired incredibly well, with a delicious balance I didn't think possible. My favorite was a variation on a manhattan, with dry vermouth and fernet among the components--and I could taste the best notes of all of these ingredients together in a wonderfully smooth and unique finish. The bartending staff who developed these drinks are exceptional. I only regret that I couldn't try the whole menu--all of which looked fantastic--which means I'll just have to come back.

If you want chill bartenders, good vibes, and excellent craft cocktails, swing by.“

“Every time I’m in Oakland, I make a point to swing by FLUID510. It’s one of those rare spots that keeps you guessing—in the best way possible. One day it’s R&B dancing, the next it’s a stand-up comedy set or a full-blown drag performance. It’s not just a restaurant. It’s not just a lounge. It’s an experience. The energy shifts, but the hospitality never does. The staff is warm, welcoming, and many of them have been part of the vibe since day one. Whether you’re grabbing dinner or stumbling into an unexpected dance lesson, FLUID510 always delivers something unforgettable.“

“Things haven’t gotten going yet so you can still make it.“

“My wife and I host many events there, for singles and everybody else to mingle! Popcorn Machine in the corner of the bar is a nice touch. The place is just a stones throw from UC Berkely but it has a chill cocktail lounge asthetic. Also it is pet friendly! Bring the frenchie and enjoy a drink with some popcorn!“

“Enjoy the atmosphere and the tasty food !“

“★★★★★
I had a fantastic experience at Parkway Lounge! The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the drinks were great. It’s a perfect spot to unwind, enjoy good company, and have a laid-back night out. The overall vibe is comfortable and inviting. I highly recommend Parkway Lounge to anyone looking for a great local bar!“

“This is a lovely little wine bar! Excellent selection, and the owner was kind enough to put together a little charcuterie board for one person (although the normal size serves 2-3).

I highly recommend stopping by for a glass and a nibble if you’re shopping in the area - very relaxing space.“

“Just come! See you there 👍🏾🎱“

“Low key, relaxed vibe, cool tunes, best drinks. And a stellar taco truck in the parking lot. Very friendly staff. 5 stars all day, every day.“

“Always a good time at Lucy Blue! The lamb chops are amazing, the fries are always fresh, and the prickly margarita is the perfect finishing touch. I also love the nights they have live music—it makes the atmosphere even better. Definitely one of my favorite spots for great food, drinks, and a fun vibe.“

“Awesome chill space to catch up with someone. All kinds of flavors so you don’t even have to like kava to find something you like. Melo Colada was heavy on sweet/colada and I loved it. Melo Chai and Cream were also delicious. Go for happy hour 3-6pm I believe for $2 off drinks“

“VERY nice bar tucked off in Albany, inside is a wooded theme fireplace, candle lit tables with umbrellas outback on the patio. They have games like checkers, pool etc,. Super low-key but very chill-romantic vibe. I enjoyed myself and will be back again.“

“I don't go to Julia's for lunch very often but had lunch there with two good friends recently. The food was excellent (echoed by my two friends) and the atmosphere was relaxed and relatively quiet even the the restaurant was quite busy. I'll be back for lunch.“

“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.“
