Everyone was so helpful and kind. I had a wonderful experience here.

Some of the tastiest cocktails around, and incredible music being played all night. Couldn’t have had a better time at a bar than at this place.

Cute spot with Tokyo-style chic vibes, the ambiance is definitely the draw here. Minimalist, trendy, and would make for a great date night or IG moment. That said, the service was noticeably uneven. The male staff felt aloof, bordering on indifferent, one even greeted me with “are you trying to order something?” which set a weird tone. The women behind the bar were more attentive, but overall it gave the impression that anyone was hired to bartend, not necessarily folks with hospitality experience. If you're just looking for a bar, it is just a bar, but if you're expecting something elevated, you might be underwhelmed.

I've never been to a bar I've liked more. Everything about my experience was top shelf. The service was impeccable - attentive, engaging, and helpful. The listening experience was divine. The interior decor was a perfectly executed intersection of mid-century modern and industrial. What isn't to love? A gem.

I was looking for a cozy place to meet up with friends. I found it in my internet search and the concept sounded intriguing. It was just as described. A beautifully designed space with delicious cocktails and great music. The laid back and upscale atmosphere was the icing on the cake.
Wonderful vibe. Chill. Staff is very attentive and experts at their craft.

Step into Bar Shiru and prepare to be transported to a world where music, atmosphere, and drinks come together in perfect harmony. This one-of-a-kind establishment is Oakland's first hi-fi vinyl listening bar, offering an immersive experience centered around jazz, soul, and international music played on a fully analog stereo system.
As you settle into the carefully designed space, built with acoustics as a top priority, you'll be treated to records played in their entirety, enveloping you in the rich and soulful sounds of the genre. To complement the music, Bar Shiru offers a fantastic selection of creative cocktails, extensive non-alcoholic drinks, whiskeys, spirits, local craft beers, wines, and sake.
Located in the historic Latham Square building, Bar Shiru is just a short walk away from Oakland's vibrant nightlife and music scene, making it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a unique and memorable evening.
Thanks for making our evening memorable.

Bar Shiru is an incredible spot in Oakland for anyone who appreciates great cocktails and an amazing vibe. The focus on high-quality vinyl music sets the tone perfectly — the sound system is crisp, and the music selection is thoughtfully curated. The cocktails are expertly crafted with a balance of creativity and classic flavors, and the staff is knowledgeable and welcoming without being overbearing. The atmosphere strikes that rare balance between lively and intimate, making it perfect for a date night or catching up with friends. Highly recommend for music lovers and cocktail enthusiasts alike!
