Lounges in Oakland, CA

“Always an interesting experience and fun treat. Classic cocktails in a classic atmosphere. Service is on point! Food is innovative yet still comforting and familiar. Never disappointed.“

“I thought this would be a dime a dozen dive bar type spot, but thankfully I was wrong. It was pretty poppin for a Monday evening, but not enough to where it was overwhelming. The trees are fantastic, and the cocktails were actually good! We even got a nifty NA cocktail as a nightcap. I'll be coming back next time I'm in the area.“

“Every time I’m in Oakland, I make a point to swing by FLUID510. It’s one of those rare spots that keeps you guessing—in the best way possible. One day it’s R&B dancing, the next it’s a stand-up comedy set or a full-blown drag performance. It’s not just a restaurant. It’s not just a lounge. It’s an experience. The energy shifts, but the hospitality never does. The staff is warm, welcoming, and many of them have been part of the vibe since day one. Whether you’re grabbing dinner or stumbling into an unexpected dance lesson, FLUID510 always delivers something unforgettable.“

“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.“

“A beautiful place with a great vibe, delicious food, and AMAZING drinks.“

“Enjoy the atmosphere and the tasty food !“

“Nice atmosphere, friendly staff.“

“The cocktails are innovative and have so much depth. Ambiance is on point, there's so much seating and good music. There's a few logistical things they have to work out, for example it was very unclear as to whether we had to be seated or seat ourselves, and wasn't sure if there was table service in the evenings, but they're new and I'm sure they'll figure it out. Love a Black owned business!“

“Best bartenders, awesome owners, killer sound and all around good times always!“

“Walkable Great eats Lululemon next door“

“I recommend the Saturday blues jam. Friendly staff, safe location. Nice to find this event.,if you like blues,and we all get them, this is the place Sat eve. with actual real blues musicians.“

“One of the Best places in Oakland to enjoy a draft beer. The lines and taps are cleaned/flushed with every keg change resulting in a delicious very tasty brewski. Friendly bar and Yvonne and Carl are the Coolest. Do yourself a favor and check this place out.“

“Just come! See you there 👍🏾🎱“

“Beautiful space. Alicia and her team are lovely hosts as well. I’ll be back again soon!“

“Idk I know people love this place, I just don’t really get kava. If you’re like me and hate the taste there’s tons of cocktails that drown out the taste. The vibe is interesting, from the outside it looks super cool but to be honest all the furniture is kinda cheap not super comfy and the crowd just really isn’t my vibe. I kind of get a weird vibe while I’m there. This place by no means is bad, it’s just not my cup of tea.“

“Great fun night x totally recommend“

“D Monaghans on the Hill offers a fantastic dining experience with a welcoming atmosphere, delicious food, and attentive service. I've hosted three events in their private area, and each one was a resounding success. The combination of great cuisine and a pleasant environment makes it an excellent choice for dining, catering, and private parties. Highly recommend!“

“Hot and fun! And the BF dj’s there the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month“

“The owner is very understanding of his surroundings and implementing the changes needed as heard by his community. I love to see it and the growth! I truly appreciate this from a new venue in Oakland. Beautiful landscape and upscale vibes. The view is my favorite part as well as the aesthetic. Torch offers a different take on Oakland nightlife that is much needed and well received by me. Keep going Torch! I love it here. The owner is also very respectful, has integrity and is very humble.“

“I went here for a Virgo birthday and what can I say it's Oakland so they didn't disappoint. Drinks were on point and so was the music. Smart to have the water pitcher out as well. I definitely drank more water here than any other club do to accessibility.“
