This place is a vibe. The house cocktail menu is well thought out and executed, and pretty reasonably priced.

I struggled with whether to give this one star or five stars. It was great but then when my wife saw a charge from a Cat House on our credit card bill, she wanted a divorce.
(Jk jk I didn’t have a wife)
This place is great - somehow managed to be simultaneously classy and trashy in the best sense of both terms. Did feel a little let down to discover that there were no cats serving drinks however. The human bartender gave my friend and I free shots of fernet though, so that kind of makes up for it.

Honestly love the vibes here especially in the back area. The drinks are good and the atmosphere is really cute

Seems like a friendly neighborhood cocktail bar. I don't think they serve food but understand you can bring in outside food. Very laid back atmosphere.

Very eclectic spot to get drinks in Oakland. Their cocktail list is very creative and we we very pleased with our selections! They’re are very serious about their drinks and clearly take pride in their craft. They also have a good list of local beers on tap. We focused on trying their cocktails though. They don’t provide food, but allow you to bring outside food in. They have a few different seating options, from spots at the bar, to old school wood tables and chairs, to antique couches. Very cool, dark atmosphere! The cat art was a nice touch! FYI, there is a bouncer outside checking IDs and letting people in, so no one under 21 is allowed in.

My favorite local Oakland bar. Good drinks! Great service! A small little patio in the back and a great vibe!

No complaints other than the impact on my wallet. Three Manhattans cost me $48. Going rate for cocktails I guess but still, ouch.

Cool bar if you don't want a drink. Went on a Tuesday night and the bartenders were way too cool to actually work. Waited at the bar for about 10 minutes before realizing Heart and Dagger is definitely much faster. But if you're into getting ignored while trying to buy a drink, def recommend this place.

Cool and laid back atmosphere. Met up with friends and chatted for hours while sipping on some good drinks! My name being Irene, of course I had to try Dear Irene and it was delicious😋.
Great drinks and a good place to just chill by the lake. Ladies owned

The Irene is the best! I like that there is a patio in the back. Also, Lauren is the sweetest bartender.

Their cocktail, Dear Irene, needs acclaim and acknowledgment as one of the best drinks I've ever tasted. And I'm tough critic. Not too sweet and so, so refreshing. If you don't drink alcohol, they make a Virgin Dear Irene and it's just as good.

It’s a joke they don’t accept DMV TruAge or ApplePay, they must lose so much walk up business.
