Very cozy place with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The hi-fi music setup creates a relaxed vibe without overpowering conversation, and the bar is beautifully done with great drink options.
It’s honestly one of the best spots in Oakland for a date night or meaningful conversation.

I like the ambiance and there's a pretty good selection.
I ordered 2 rounds..or at least tried. The second round never arrived. When I told the server, she was amazing. Without me asking, she gave a huge discount in the drinks I ordered..
This was just one reflection of the customer service. The server was great and super helpful the whole night.

Shi is wonderful and is a joy to watch make drinks. I sit at the bar specifically for this reason. She’s super friendly and you can tell she enjoys her job and is very talented too. I will be coming back again and again. Even Ryan at the door made me feel welcome. I have gone to Shiru both with my boyfriend and just by myself and I look forward to bringing my friends here too! Vibes are great, drinks are amazing and the music selection and volume is perfect.

Great atmosphere, but 2/3 drinks in our drink were only ok. The service was slow and they messed up our order.

Best craft cocktails in the east bay, hands down. Nothing else over here even compares in this category, far as I'm concerned. As good as any of the top bars in the City. The great ambiance and music is just a plus.

I hoped more cocktail options from Bar Shiru. Cocktails were worth the price. Small but strong. I didn’t see food options.

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.
