“Walking by, I always thought this place was abandoned. It’s not, it just opens 4-8. After 2 years I finally went to try their food. My burger was delicious. Service was good, family own/run. A good amount of customers for a Thursday evening. Will be back when Im craving bar-ey food.“

Oakland United Beerworks Brewery •
262 2nd St, Oakland

“Such a friendly place for a drink- they offer non-beer alcohol (sangria!) and NA beverages so there's something for every adult.

Very dog friendly place that raises a lot of funds for local charity. One of the owners, Chris, is often around welcoming everyone and may give you free samples!

They have a small bar inside with a new reading nook, and upstairs has tables and high tops. Local clubs happen upstairs, like Magic the Gathering.

Nice outdoor picnic tables. No food though (just snacks), so check out Heschers for Detroit pizza or Original Pattern for Napolitan pizza.“

Sante Adairius Rustic Ales Oakland Arbor Brewpubs •
460 8th St, Oakland

“Sante Adairius was such a perfect spot for our wedding welcome party. They have an awesome back room that was a great size for our guests and allowed us to have a private space without closing down the front bar to regular patrons. Ruben, the manager, was great to work with during the planning phase, even working with us to get a food truck into the back for our guests. The beer is great, and they have a good variety of other drinks (wines, mocktails, etc.). And the night of, the staff was fantastic. We’re so happy we found this spot for our party, and will definitely be going back for beers in the future.“

“Had a reservation, but a physical problem in late afternoon required cancellation. However there is no telephone number and no way to let restaurant know -- and a default charge of $40.

Apparently this isn't restaurant policy. They contacted us within an hour and refunded the money -- and said they're looking for another reservation service.“

“I love this place. They burgers, fries, cheese curds are amazing but can you please train your cooks to send the fries with the burgers? It’s the second time in a row that I get my burger and then almost have to beg the server to give us the fries 5 min after we got the burgers. People orders fries to eat with their burgers, not afterwards…“

“Dropped into this place to grab a few drinks before our show at the Fox theater and highly recommend. Great cocktails, local brews, and knowledgable bartenders. No food but you can bring your own, and the takeout from the thai place just down the street they recommended was amazing.“
