Friends & Family is a charming spot with a relaxed and creative atmosphere, perfect for gathering with friends or enjoying a romantic date. The venue offers a range of delicious mocktails and a welcoming, queer-friendly vibe. The staff is friendly and unobtrusive, while the dim lighting and cozy seating create a romantic ambiance. The back patio is a lovely spot to enjoy fresh air, especially with its mural adding to the outdoor charm. The space is full of thoughtful details, including pink lighting, tableware, and a warm, friendly staff that makes visitors feel cared for. The Asian-influenced food at Friends & Family also shines, with dishes like hot-and-sour mushrooms, the "les eggs," yaki onigiri, and sardine banh mi toast offering a variety of flavors, often on the salty side. The drinks menu includes spirit-forward cocktails such as "for rei," which features a block of coconut water ice, and the "Daily Affirmations" mystery drink, supporting gender-affirming care fundraising. The venue’s mission of providing a safe and inclusive space is evident, making it a cozy and intimate place to enjoy good food, drinks, and warm memories. The outdoor patio and unique atmosphere make Friends & Family an ideal spot for a night out in Oakland.
