“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!“

“Criminally underrated. Definitely deserves FAR more praise and attention than it’s gotten so far. Great food, great wine selection, wonderful service.

Our favorite dishes were the focaccia bread, persimmon salad, lamb sliders, and the espresso creme brûlée. We were also excited to hear the menu changes every season - looking forward to our next visit.

10/10 would recommend“

“I stumbled upon a hidden gem bar in Oakland recently and had a fantastic experience. The drinks were strong and expertly made, just as I like them. The bartender was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making the visit feel welcoming and personal. The ambiance was cozy and unpretentious, adding to the charm of the place. It's definitely a spot I'll be returning to for more great drinks and friendly service!“

“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“

“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!“

“Fresh yummy food with magical drinks.Excellent service with very welcoming staff.Enjoyed the fritters ,poke bowl and all the other dishes we tried.The outdoor ambiance with great food and company was over the top“

“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.“

“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“

“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.

“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“

“Absolutely phenomenal food, super friendly staff, and a clean and beautiful ambiance. I visited for the first time two weeks ago and knew I needed to bring my family. Brought both my partner's parents and my parents for a birthday celebration/first meeting and the restaurant wowed everyone. The staff was extremely friendly and genuine. Every dish was raved about. Thank you for such a wonderful evening!“

“Visited Crush'd for my birthday and it exceeded expectations! The atmosphere was great and you can tell the everything is well thought out, from the decor to the tableware.

We both went with a wine flight and had excellent recommendations from Jamie. Decided to splurge on the sturgeon caviar and it was served with the perfect accoutrement, highlight of the evening. Our server Shane recommended the duck fat potatoes (the Aioli was mindblowing) and Wagyu Tartine, both were fantastic!

Cannot wait to go back, 11 out of 10!“

“I ordered the following:

Banh Mi with hoi-an style sauce (with viet pork ham & pate). Served on a house-made baguette that was toasty on the outside and tender on the inside. Very little flavour to the ham/pate, though. My dining partner had the grilled lemongrass chicken and raved about it. I will get that next time. With a different protein my sandwich would have been spectacular.

Farm box chocked full of seasonal vegetables and fruits with three flavorful spreads. Fresh and delicious. The tomatoes and figs were standouts for me. Big enough to share.

Savory donuts with scallions, bacon and shaved parmesan. Delicious. A bit of a crunch on the outside with a nice tender crumb on the inside. Thumbs up.

Lemon Ricotta Donuts with a spiced apple dipping sauce. I like the donut, but the spiced apple dipping sauce was the star. It added the right amount of tartness and sweetness to the donut. The donut itself wasn't overly sweet, which I liked.

We dined in the courtyard, which was a very pleasant experience.

I will definitely return.

Vegetarian options: The farm box is all veggies and fruits. The Banh Mi has crispy tofu as a protein option. I really want to try that. Also, there are other vegetarian options available.

Parking: We came for late lunch on a Wednesday, missing the lunch crowd. Parked right in front of the restaurant.“

“Yes, it gets busy.

The Double Standard is my Holiday standard in Oakland. They really go all out during the holidays. Drink menu, decor, everything. Their lovely Coast redwoods are the Christmas trees!
Eggnog, brandy drinks, hot buttered rum, antique Victorian sounding drinks in specialty holiday glassware. All delicious.“

“Great food and drinks with a beautiful atmosphere“

“Og lunch box fan here, I always got 2 hot plates with salads on the side. (Guess who). Anyway this menu features the world's best meatloaf that was available at the lunch box at one time.Always do delivery with dinnerhouse, huge portions and killer to go plates that are totally reusable.Had the spaghetti as well sauce was to die for.Impossible to go wrong here.“

“I recommend the Saturday blues jam. Friendly staff, safe location. Nice to find this event.,if you like blues,and we all get them, this is the place Sat eve. with actual real blues musicians.“

“This is my favorite restaurant in Oakland! The food is amazing and so are the cocktails. The vive is is unreal!!!“

“This was my first time in this establishment. There's actually sand on the floor/ground! ID is checked at the door. We sat at the bar. Our bartender was great! She's a great mixologist, hilarious conversationalist, and an asset to the Sandbar.“

“Great Food, Great Service“
