About Bar Shiru

Bar Shiru is a Japanese whiskey and cocktail bar with a fantastic ambiance and great acoustics for music lovers. The bar offers a delicious Japanese whiskey flight and refreshing cocktails like the Old Fashioned. The staff is professional yet personable, and the service is top-notch. While the wine selection is limited, the drinks are wonderful, and the atmosphere is perfect for enjoying a drink before dinner. The interior decor combines mid-century modern and industrial styles, creating a cozy yet upscale setting. As a hi-fi vinyl listening bar, it provides an immersive experience centered around jazz, soul, and international music played on a fully analog stereo system. The carefully designed space prioritizes acoustics, allowing guests to enjoy full-length records and soulful sounds. Located in the historic Latham Square building, it is close to Oakland's vibrant nightlife and music scene. Be prepared for a wait, as this popular spot often has a waiting list, but the experience is definitely worth it for both cocktail lovers and music enthusiasts alike.
