Nestled in an unassuming strip mall where people can do their laundry and eat pupusas is this hidden gem with a sophisticated cocktail program yet homey neighborhood-bar feel. We came only to get a drink before dinner elsewhere and were blown away by the warm and welcoming service and absolutely delicious drinks. At the tail end of happy hour, I ordered a margarita that was mixed to perfection (tart, refreshing, not too sweet). We were so pleased we ordered two more drinks! Their palomas are also delightful. My partner had a couple items off their signature cocktail menu and found them to be unique, flavorful, and thoughtfully made. It was clear the bartender was passionate about his craft. I’m a bit of a drink snob and I can genuinely say these drinks can hold a candle to many of the popular cocktail bars in Oakland.
The lighting is nice and low, great for a date night. Come on a warm night, sit at the booth and enjoy the breeze from the open windows. One of my favorite things about California is that no matter where you are you can catch a beautiful sunset and see palm trees in the distance, and with a good drink in hand forget for a moment you’re in a random strip mall ;)

We came in for a drink and a snack. The lack of a window in the front is the reason for the loss of star.
Cute place, good vibe and food, but the missing front window made me feel a little anxious. Just not for me.

Great little spot with a very interesting menu. Everything we ordered was very good. Be sure to wear a sweater as the restaurant itself is pretty cold. Would definitely come back.

This place is a gem. Love Carl the bartender. Food is good especially if you go on a Tuesday when they have 3 dollar tacos. I recommend the carnitas tacos and the shrimp tacos. If you order the nachos they are rather large and are great for sharing. Great drinks. I really like the slushy shots.

This is a new favorite. In a random strip mall, you have this slick cocktail place with amazing food. The ambiance is cool, with a blueish glow. It almost has a Miami vibe to it. While it says its a bar, I think its accurate to say its a bar/restaurant.
The food was amazing. We had street tacos, empanadas, and birria ramen. The ramen was out of this world. Street tacos and empanadas do NOT disappoint.
Cocktails are a real star here. They have interesting drinks using all the different spirits. But their mezcal drinks are the most standout - a mescal old fashioned was my fav.
This is definitely a cool place to take your significant other. Its cool, chill, and has an awesome vibe. I don't live that close but I intend to go back

This hidden gem offers artisanal tapas with melt-in-your-mouth smoked brisket and a range of curated and creative cocktails. Don't be fooled by its strip mall location- this underground find will dazzle and delight!
I love going to the Blue Rabbit! The drinks are amazing, the atmosphere is great and the empanadas/fried chicken sliders are my favorite. Fahd and Rachel are always so friendly and welcoming. Definitely my new favorite go to spot!
