It's a great spot for after work. Lots of industry folks are around so you know it doesn't suck. If you're lucky they're pouring Dutchess de Borgogne.

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.

Nice bartenders, but the cocktails are poorly executed, and super inconsiderate host. Not a placed I’d recommend hanging out

The beer menu on the wall is extremely dark. Add some lights or use brighter writing.

Went to Drexl a couple of nights ago. Great drinks, cool vibes and I would definitely recommend it to friends
Fantastic vibe, recommend for those who wanna try amazing cocktails and be wowed with the result. Ask for Bob if you’re there on the weekends, cheers.

The best bar in Oakland. Hands down! They will make you anything you can imagine. They have the best mixologists in town. There is no other cocktail bar where you can order literally any drink and they can make it for you. I ordered an “amaro cocktail” and they gave me something that tasted like limoncello but is WAY better than limoncello. 10/10 we come here every week.

My friend and I were trying to enjoy some drinks here, but during our visit, she was physically assaulted by one of the staff members, completely unprovoked. Shockingly, the bartender broke a wine glass in my friend’s hand, causing serious injuries, with blood everywhere. This incident occurred well before 2:00 AM when my friend was simply trying to finish her drink. Management tried to justify this excessive force by saying it was “the law.”
How do you enforce the law by breaking it? Using unnecessary violence is never acceptable, especially when it leads to someone being hurt.
What made this situation even worse was the lack of appropriate action from management. Instead of handling the situation with care, the owner completely disregarded the seriousness of the assault, showing a total lack of accountability for what had happened.
No customer should ever be treated this way, and it raises serious concerns about the safety of this establishment. My friend, and every other patron, deserves to feel safe when out enjoying themselves. Unfortunately, this bar has proven they do not prioritize the safety of their customers.
Until Drexl Bar takes responsibility for this incident and implements significant changes to ensure their patrons’ safety, do yourself a huge favor and avoid this place at all costs.
