42 Best Cocktail Bars near San Leandro

“Amazing food 👍😊great taste and very creative 😉 excellent service! Highly recommended 👍“

“Was here after dinner for pool initially. Went here on Sunday and it was quite empty when we got in. This is the first bar I saw Jack D Honey on tap, and I was thrilled! The drink we got was Irish slammer, and they gave too little of the beer compared to usual. Adding to that, the bar smells like smoke somehow, possibly because the wind brings the smoke smell inside(?).
Other than that, the games were fun! They have pool, darts, and shuffle board. The darts were so much fun!! There were not many people waiting, so I would go back here any day!“

“Food was perfect. Spicy and tasty and salty and everything you want for enjoying with a cocktail. The drinks were all unique and tropical and delicious and I wish I could have tried them all. The ambiance and the staff were just awesome. Thank you!“

“good drinks, good food, friendly service, outdoor dining, i'll be back“

“A unique place that offers a fun respite from the usual watering hole. The signature here is to serve drinks with a freshly squeezed grapefruit twist. There is also an engaging I-spy game utilizing the rich decor inside that guests can play for a chance to win a prize. The service was very friendly and we all had a great time!“

“Final date night before flight home tomorrow. Sausage plate. The British bangers are super flavorful and juicy, goes great with the spicy mustard sauce! The bratwurst is perfect with the kraut and horseradish. The smoked bison is a bit on the dry and spicy side. Reminds me of a Slim Jim. I wish I tasted more bison, but it's still good. The herbed goat cheese and lavash bread is to die for! The herbs are perfectly balanced with the cheese and spreads so easily on the bread!All paired perfectly with Zin-phomaniac red wine!“

“The best! I highly recommend you make a visit and enjoy good company.“

“4.5 ⭐️ This place is cozy! Afro-futuristic art and vinyl bar in uptown Oakland serving select cocktails with dim lighting and a casual
atmosphere. I tried the Taloma, a tamarind version of a Paloma and it was a great cocktail. Plenty of seating. Check out their socials for upcoming events and DJs. I’ve yet to attend any of their vinyl events since I’ve only come here a few times but I do like their record collection. Good location, near plenty of other bars and dining in the area.“

“Short wait on a Friday night for 7 of us. Really small place but the wait staff and owner very friendly and everyone was very happy with their meal. If I lived here I would go back.“

“The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented and the portions were generous. Our waiter Hans was superb, attentive, never rushed us and added to the enjoyment of our experience at Julia's restaurant. Also the glass of red wine we ordered was a generous pour.“

“Not a huge fan of the seating layout. I sat on the left side to avoid the loud chatter of people but that meant being on a hard bench with uninteresting decor. Empanadas were wonderful, the ceviche with coconut milk was a pleasant surprise. I wanted to try the arepa but it seemed like the portion was tiny. The chicharron was very flavorful!“

“Yummy Drinks, good vibes, outside patio...💥🔥💣💨😎“

“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!“

“As the namesake implies, it's just your average blue collar type 'corner' bar, and that's part of the charm. Not trendy, not bougie, great modern jukebox with priority streaming of your favorite songs, for a slight fee of course. Would you have ever imagined that one day your childhood jukebox experiences that forged statements like "ugh, who put this one on? they probably already left and now we have to listen to this cr@p before our song" and to further shape our complaint into creative criticisms to "one day manifest our desired wishes for the day we could override and be played next"... Well friends that day had come! Ok, it's been around a while now but I don't go out very often so it's new news to me and you know what Gary Gnew said? " No gnews, is good gnews, this is Gary Gnew, goodnight". The peeps are mellow, the drafts are cold, they have a decent billiard table with a sign up board (formerly this was a couple quarters shoved under the lip on the table) and it's only $1.00 a game and there isn't some hot shot hogging the table making themselves feel good by running the table against people just trying to have a good time.“

“Really nice speak easy giving 60s to 80s vibes mirrors everywhere. It’s one way in one way out leather seating wooden tables. I recommend it for business professionals looking to go out or a group of friends that don’t want to be bothered. Either way I will be back they do not serve food therefore they got a low food rating. But there isn’t a array of alcohol. Can’t give you a good sense of service considering there’s only five people here but that may be a good thing.“

“Don't lose your investment in forex trade/bitcoin. Go with a proven legitimate trader that allows your unrestricted access to your account. I recommend Mrs Craig Vanessa for anyone in need of a reliable account manager because she has really helped me and got me restored from previous losses and it's been cool all the way. Invest with her today and enjoy a profitable trading experience. Now I am making profit of $5,500 weekly. Contact her through Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“Top notch drinks and personalities behind the bar, we will back. My only regret is that I waited this long to go there.“

“Is a great lounge to bring your crew and your friends to have a great time with amazing bartenders and Live DJs playing all your favorite music !!“

“Smoker friendly sports bar with the best owner/ operator in the world. Roy treats you like he's hosting you in his own living room, often beginning in delicious homemade tamales to give out to hungry and grateful pateons. This bar is one of the gems of Oakland.“

“My hometown spot. One of the only local spots I feel comfortable. Thanks!“

“Jen is our go to bartender. My Uncle and I always have a great time and great drinks. Best days to go are Wednesday & Friday.😉

Wheelchair accessibility: You can access through the back door or the front door with a wheelchair just fine“

“The owners are the sweetest people in the world and the loved my Lady Blu thank you so much I had a blast and yes Dee Dee Simon is the truth it was so worth the trip to see her and meet you all. A very friendly place that makes really good drinks Tory from Vegas“

“Great service great vibe....a real community bar... They remember everyone and treat everyone with respect... But if you mess up and make patrons uncomfortable.... You are OUT. Always something good on the tvs or juke box, random art pop ups with no pressure...plus you can't beat the prices... Definitely worth the visit“

“Great place with even better food and service!“

“Fun sports bar in Hayward! It’s a great place to hangout with friends. They have a pool table, private clean bathrooms and plenty of seating. My friends and I always feel like family when we come here and the owner Judy is such a gem and makes everyone feel welcomed.“

“Cute little "dive" bar. It's nice and put together. Clean. The bartend (Sherri) was very kind, attentive and and fast. There's a pool table and a online juke box. It wasn't packed but it's Wednesday. Older crowd. Like the 50, 60 plus. They were very nice and friendly as well. I'll be back

Dj Nash Chanel.
(If Sherri sees this, the was made by the tall lady with the good skin) ? thank you for the service“

“The food was great, the service was excellent, I was very satisfied“

“Haven't been here since Pac died...lol. This is a classic spot and I had such a blast. Memories of when I used to be hitting the streets in my clubbing days lol. Older crowd and a lot of bikers but such a vibe. Security was hella cool too“

“Enjoy the atmosphere and the tasty food !“

“I'm only giving this bar four stars because it doesn't have the same grit and dive bar feel after the remodel and reopening. And that may not be fair, because it's a great bar. And it's great that it's open again. I love the place“

“Great food and drinks, friendly comrades on staff, great cocktail names, solid leftist propaganda and excellent events. 🖤🔥✨“

“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.“

“Always a great time! congrats“

“to be Black, supa queer in this hood, this space is appreciated! to be able to pull up for a latte, donut, breakfast sando or a fancy cocktail WITH my spouse, and kid in tow- always feels welcoming.
did i mention the coffee is fire?“

“A put bull was allowed to attack our dog tonight, they were sitting at the bar by the door. Our dog is well-behaved and well-trained and was attacked walking out of the restaurant. I appreciate places being dog friendly but plz be safe. The food and drinks are great but this ruined the evening.“
