Very cool bar. Staff was super friendly. I would recommend a reservation.
Langston was the best. The grape drink was our groups favorite drink, dangerous, if you come here definitely a must try!
Enjoyed specialty cocktails in a gorgeous atmosphere. Bartender was fabulous and made me this delicious fruity cocktail topped with a smoking cinnamon stick. Will be happily returning soon!

The Oakland is a speakeasy-style bar in Ferndale known for its knowledgeable staff, unique cocktails, and lively atmosphere. This dark, cozy cocktail lounge offers a wide range of drinks, including the popular Green Badu and Nick at Night, as well as the Razzle with smoked cinnamon. Guests appreciate the excellent service and the nice list of non-alcoholic drinks, such as the delicious and sugar-free B Nektar SOber cider. The drink menu changes often, providing some staples but also new options regularly. The ambiance is great with good vibes, and the playlist adds to the overall experience. While the prices are on the higher side, it remains a great spot for a drink before or after dinner or as a break while shopping. Visitors have praised the staff for being awesome and the drinks as incredible, especially during happy hour when cocktails are half off. Some guests have noted that the service is exceptional, with a recommended tip of 22% included on the bill to support the hardworking bartenders. However, some guests have faced challenges related to local train delays.
