About Theory

Theory is a quaint, solid spot in downtown Oakland with a divey charm and art deco flair. They offer delicious cocktails, with a mean dirty martini and perfection Irish coffee mentioned. The service is friendly, and they host festive events and sports games. It's a great local bar, and the BBQ lunch looks amazing.

What a cute bar! Drinks were great and vibes were even better. Perfect location for a pre-Fox drink or date night cocktail. So happy to have a great place bringing life to downtown Oakland.

A great local bar with the friendliest service! I love that they're always doing something festive (king cake for Mardi Gras, corned beef and cabbage for St. Patty's, all the sports games, etc.) They make a mean dirty martini, and the Irish coffee the owner made me for St. Patty's was perfection. I need to make it here on a Friday for their BBQ lunch, it always looks amazing.

One of my places to chill! Cozy vibe.
