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.

The handsome fella with the bowling shirt treated me and my friends so well even tho we came in the last 45 minutes. He let us have our drinks and enjoy the ambiance. He specifically told is not to rush . He made me want to come back just based on his energy, and the drinks were fire too!

Inventive cocktails, fun vibe and friendly staff. Good happy hour spot or to meet friends before a night on the town.

A local gem with a rolling menu of in-house mixology concoctions. The bartenders are all awesome people, the drinks are fantastic, and the vibe is chill and friendly.

Loved the late night cocktails. Pagan revolver and whisky sour were delicious. Enjoyed the laid back, but upbeat late night Tuesday vibes. Cocktails are $13.
