Whiskey Bars near Oakland, CA

“A nice elegant bar with great mocktails! The inside ambiance is nice very quiet and classy indoors. I enjoyed my quiet night with a good mocktail by the window with a friend. As a non drinker it was great to see that they put thought and effort into the mocktails.“

“I am a member and this place is great. I mean the membership basically pays for itself. The access to tastings and whiskey that are otherwise untouchable is worth every penny. The community is part of the deal no one talks about. Everyone there is interested in whiskey and does not care whether you're a billionaire or a janitor. Also Lamont makes a mean charcuterie board and that's worth the price of admission by itself!“

“Always enjoy talking with Johnny & Myra! Their drinks are good too!“

“Some of the best happy hour oysters I’ve EVER had in the bay! Shucked perfectly, no stray shell bits or dodgy looking insides, and I love that it comes with real horseradish. I’ll be back just for these, but the other food and drinks we got were just as excellent.“

“(Make a reservation)
We arrived at Capo’s around 7:20 pm on a Saturday and were told we would have to wait 40 minutes for a table.
As hungry travelers, we said thank you and as we were about to leave, the hostess finds a nook and sat us down outside. I appreciate the fact that she did us that favor.
There were no patio heaters, so if sitting outside or walking in during busy hours, expect to dine outside in the cold with no heat (during winter).

(The Staff)
It was a very busy night, but the staff did a spectacular job in checking in on us.

(The Food)
The appetizers come in a reasonably sized portion, we ordered the garlic bread with mozzarella and was given a complimentary dish of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
My partner ordered the meat lasagne and I ordered the rigatoni alla vodka with smoked pancetta. The food was really good, it’s unlike anything I have ever had.
Take in mind that the dishes do serve up to 2 people, on busy nights it make take a bit to get your food, and regular pizzas take up to 20 minutes to bake, deep dish pizzas take up to 45 minutes to bake (but they look like they are worth the time!)

(Conclusion)
I would have loved to sit inside, the vibe is really nice. If you are looking for authentic Italian food with a nice atmosphere and friendly staff, book a reservation at Capo’s.“

“The perfect bar. On the one hand, it had the vibes of your local; from the moment we walked in, Alexis made us feel completely at ease and at home. On the other hand, Alexis takes her craft very seriously, but without even a hint of pretentiousness—she asked for my likes and dislikes and made me an exceptional drink.“

“I love Rickhouse. The atmosphere is warm, lively, and full of character, and the cocktails are consistently excellent. Dylan is fantastic. He is friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and always makes the experience feel special. Great drinks, wonderful service, and exactly the kind of place you want to return to again and again.“

“We had our last night at #Dreamforce Last night, and it was a great venue to relax and chill after a busy week at Dreamforce. Loved the staff, who made everything run smooth. They even had a coat/bag check, which was great to drop off those heavy backpacks that we’d all been carrying around all week. Highly recommend this venue for your corporate events!“
