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.“

“Go to this place if you want to hear some blues on a Saturday nite. The jam starts at 6. Bring your harmonica, bass, sax, etc and play some blues. The local talent is dope! Get a stiff drink or two and chill.“

“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.“

“Just come! See you there 👍🏾🎱“

I had a fantastic experience at Parkway Lounge! The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the drinks were great. It’s a perfect spot to unwind, enjoy good company, and have a laid-back night out. The overall vibe is comfortable and inviting. I highly recommend Parkway Lounge to anyone looking for a great local bar!“

“I came in last Friday while trying to explore bars in Oakland, and think I may have found my favorite bar of the area.

The atmosphere is dark, comfortable, subdued- perfect for lounging and conversation. The service is friendly and professional. I can't speak to the quality of the music and listening equipment, as I didn't interact with that on my visit, but I have heard it is excellent. What really made me love this place, though, was the quality and creativity of the cocktails.

When I go out for drinks, above all, I like to try new things. The drinks on offer at Bar Shiru were this and more: unexpected twists on classic recipes and fantastic original creations. Ingredients I never though could work together were paired incredibly well, with a delicious balance I didn't think possible. My favorite was a variation on a manhattan, with dry vermouth and fernet among the components--and I could taste the best notes of all of these ingredients together in a wonderfully smooth and unique finish. The bartending staff who developed these drinks are exceptional. I only regret that I couldn't try the whole menu--all of which looked fantastic--which means I'll just have to come back.

If you want chill bartenders, good vibes, and excellent craft cocktails, swing by.“

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

“Always a good time at Lucy Blue! The lamb chops are amazing, the fries are always fresh, and the prickly margarita is the perfect finishing touch. I also love the nights they have live music—it makes the atmosphere even better. Definitely one of my favorite spots for great food, drinks, and a fun vibe.“

“Awesome chill space to catch up with someone. All kinds of flavors so you don’t even have to like kava to find something you like. Melo Colada was heavy on sweet/colada and I loved it. Melo Chai and Cream were also delicious. Go for happy hour 3-6pm I believe for $2 off drinks“

“Went here for a bday party because we were told there would be gogo boys on Friday night.
There were no gogo boys 🫩
A bummer for our bday boy.
Asked the bartender and he told us their FB page hadn't been updated in a long time.
It was also strange that for a Saturday night they had no DJ. They had YouTube on shuffle. Requested music eventually because we heard the same Michael Jackson songs on repeat for the first hour 😅“
