Came to Oakland for a wedding and stayed for the weekend to explore a bit. Drakes was a place I wanted to check out and I'm glad I did. The beers on tap were really good and their pizzas where equally as good. The vibe was really cool and I love how much seating there was. The outside is massive and they also have a cool smaller inside which can still sit a fair amount of people. Staff was super friendly as well. Would I come back.. if I was in the area yes for sure. Good drinks and food and if you want to catch a game they have TV's for that as well. read more

I've been to Drake's multiple times when I used to work nearby in Oakland. We used to come here for happy hours, and my partner wanted to stop by to grab a drink before we headed to San Francisco. We stopped by the place, which was about half packed. It was a windy night, but people were still here to enjoy the environment, the heaters were on, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. We sat at that patio next to the fires and ordered a few beers from their long list. We also grabbed a pizza, as I had not had one in a while, and the chicken Tikka Masala Pizza looked good. I enjoyed my IPA while she enjoyed her Lager, and when the pizza came out, it looked fabulous. We dug into and both agreed it was amazing. We scarfed down that pizza and chugged our beers and had an amazing time as always at Drakes! read more

I'm not really sure why this corner of Oakland has some of the dreamiest outdoor spaces, but it does. The patio situation at Drake's is so gorgeous that I was literally beside myself. We came for a night cap and it was the perfect way to end the evening. read more

What I enjoy the most about Drake's Dealership is the semi-outdoor seating arrangement. This setting provides a cozy environment that is perfect for a group of people to chat, laugh, and enjoy each other's company. Even during the cold nights or season, the fireplace is enough to keep the warmth flow of air all while still enjoying the outdoorsy vibes. Their food is very solid. Lomo saltado was delicious. Elote pizza was flavorful. And the brussel sprouts were my favorite - crunchy, salty, mouth-watering. Customer service is here is always great. The staff are so friendly and attentive. The only con is that they do not serve cocktails because they do not carry that license (yet), but their ciders are pretty good enough for me. read more

I like Drake's. It's a super easy place to meet with a big group (individual tabs). The food is usually good. I just wrote this review to flag this weird portion of pickled veggies. It's an $8 menu item under bites. It was overwhelmingly onions, a couple pickled cucumbers, and some mini julienne sweet peppers (that were sour). How does one even eat this?? So, I spent $22 on one 10oz cider pour and this (tax + tip). Never again. read more

This place was the cutest. Offering outdoor seating for good weather and a giant fireplace for colder weather. The place was busy despite it being a rainy day. Service was still on top of it. We came here before a comedy show and got serviced in time to eat and make a day of ourselves after. The spritzer was so good and the food was delicious . I wanted spicy and they went above and beyond to make sure I had what I needed . read more

As out of towners this off the beaten path beer garden was recommended to us by a friend. It was a great place to grab a snack and drink at the end of a long site seeing day. That being said our waiter was a bit strange -- the menu said to ask about their beer selection and he said he wouldn't list them for us. Leavinf us fo figure out we should go inside and look. He also closed us out before we were done, causing us fo decide to go check out another place nearby vs opening a new tab at the same place. read more

Thank goodness for warm weather returning. This is one of my goto locations for lunch. The personal pizza deal with a $2 half pint is wonderful. We love sitting outdoors in the patio. There is a variety of seating available, want shade, want sun, it's all available. It is a relaxing oasis in Oakland's downtown. Service is great. You can either order online or they can take the order in person and keep an open tab if that is what you prefer. I had the Butter Chicken pizza - 8/10 - it was delicious, such wonderful flavors I highly recommend this place. Can't go wrong with a great variety of beers and food. read more

Arrived here for the first time and they have lots of seating, indoor and outdoor. Came here for a birthday dinner and I enjoyed the service and food. The fries were delicious, the sauce and meat were great. Also, you don't have to split the bill, you can order from the code they have on each table and you can pay for your own that way so it helped a lot. The indoor restaurant is a bit dim, but it was nice. read more

Sat in the beautiful outdoor space under a canopy of trees. We shared Do ya pizza, crust was perfectly toasted. We all loved the sausage steak sandwich, roll was perfectly toasted and steak was diced enough to make it easy to eat Butter Chicken fries, yummy, plenty of sauce butternut squash tostada, tasty but small Service was ok. They must have been short handed because we had to wave them down. read more

Just another great review for this spot! Loved the vibe, outdoor seating and music here!! Such a fun place to stop in for lunch and happy hour! I'm sure at night when they turn on the firepits it's just as fun!! I'd highly recommend the Brussels sprouts. They were to die for! read more

This place is so cool inside. You get indoor outdoor vibes and vice versa depending on where you sit. There is a nice fireplace inside. Good ambiance.

Drake's Dealership absolutely nails it. The indoor design is stylish and welcoming, and the cozy beer garden in the center is the kind of space that makes you want to stay longer than planned. It feels lively without being overwhelming, well thought out and executed. Big practical plus: they have gated parking and they validate the ticket. That alone removes a lot of Oakland stress. Service was outstanding and lightning fast. Multiple staff members delivered our food in under 10 minutes from ordering, which is impressive for a place this busy. The beer selection is excellent - fresh, well-curated, and there's something for every taste. The finger food menu is done right. Everything we tried was solid and satisfying, no weak spots to call out, well, nothing stood out, which honestly says a lot for the place it is. Bottom line: great space, great beer, fast service, and zero disappointments. This is absolutely a returning spot. read more

My apologies for making this review a week after visiting, but even though I only go to this brewery a few times a year it has kept it's standard! Amazing beer, amazing staff, and lovely pizza. I went on a 3 day weekend so it wasn't packed but it wasn't empty either. Women's soccer on a screen if you sit inside, quite a cool place to visit 5/5 read more

Always an amazing place to come to when you want that Sunday brunch kind of vibe. The place it self is huge with a lot of seating so this place is great for groups.

Came here on a gloomy Sunday. We did street parking which was free - they do have a lot which is paid and can be validated at Drake's to get a discount. We were seated quickly and opted to sit outdoors and near one of their fires which was perfect given how cold it was. Ordering was easy as there is a QR code ro olace and pay for your order. They didn't have too many gluten free options but I ended up going with the butternut squash tostada and it was delicious! The portion was definitely on the smaller side but I would order it again. Loved the vibes and ability to catch up with friends over good food and a nice fire! Will be back! read more

Drakes is always good. I've been coming here for trivia nights on Tuesdays and they really stepped it up over the years, but this also means it's more challenging to win and more teams that come!

Went to drakes dealership for a quick drink and bites. This place is tucked in an areas that is hidden. Parking can be difficult because this place is in the city but there is a paid parking lot. We ordered the dude ya pizza. This pizza was a little too greasy for me. The garlic fries could be more in quantity but tasted great. The service was poor because we did not get our food and had to ask if it was coming. But luckily there was a server that quickly tended to us. The ambiance is casual and a great place to hang out with some friends. During the time we went, it was self seating and we ordered on a QR code. There are heaters and fire pits in the patio area read more

Great spot for brews and food. Plenty of beer to choose from and a couple of wines & cocktails. Didn't have a chance to try any beers during this visit but the food was great. Pizza, apps, burgers and some salads. I ordered the dub pizza and garlic fries. Both super good! Would love to come back and visit to try other items.

I've been here once before, but I wasn't into writing reviews for Yelp as I am now. I came in on a Friday around 5pm. There were still plenty of tables and there wasn't a wait. We sat down, ordering is a QR code, where you are prompted to pay and tip before you've had service. I'm not sure if there was an option to pay later, but we paid right away. Luckily the service matched our tip. Food and drinks came quickly, one of the beers we ordered was out, so my sister opted for another beer, that one didn't come out until half way through the meal. We were a little disappointed in that. For food, we ordered the spicy fries, the butter chicken pizza, and the Joey add pepperoni. The fries were just average, a little soggy for me, but the table enjoyed them. The butter chicken was really good, the crust was crispy, overall really good, I'd order it again. The Joey with pepperoni was my favorite, the garlic sauce mixed with all the flavors, it was a hit. This was my sister's first experience dining in downtown Oakland, we are happy we chose this place. The beautiful patio with the outdoor lights really sets the mood for a relaxing meal. Pair that with some ice cream on the way out and you can't go wrong. read more

Classic hangout spot in Oakland! We were a party of three and snagged a nice quiet table outside before it got too busy. Qr codes on the table make it easy to order, and there are staff waiting on tables as well. Fantastic beer selection. I got the cherry cider and my friend got the pomegranate cider. Both were delicious and refreshing. For food, I ordered the mushroom banh mi. Tasty and okay. Mushrooms were well seasoned. I felt that I was still a little hungry after, and it was priced rather high. read more

Came to Drake's Dealership for a birthday, and it was a great choice for a large group. They have a large outdoor space with space heaters that made it comfortable once the evening cold set in. The service was great, especially considering how many of us there were. Our server was attentive, patient, and got all of our orders right without a hitch. The Butter Chicken Pizza was a tasty and filling portion. The Mac n' Cheese, however, was pretty mediocre and lacked the rich, cheesy flavor you'd hope for. The Garlic Fries were okay but not memorable. We were able to split the pizza and mac and cheese between two people and were both very full. I also tried the Guava Cider. While it had a pretty high alcohol content, I didn't taste any guava flavor at all, which was a little disappointing. Overall, Drake's Dealership is a great spot for the ambiance and for handling large parties so well. read more

Just go anywhere else. First of all, the pricing is pretty bad. Maybe its because im not from the city...but a $20 dollar burger, plus having to pay for parking is pretty nuts. Then, you gotta do everything yourself. Keeping in mind the pricing and you would at least think you wouldn't have to get your own water?? And God forbid you want a separate tab, becasue now your ordering for yourself through a qr code like its doordash, just to find out that the website doesn't work when trying to pay, then they have the audacity to ask for a tip on the website?? Who am I tipping if I did everything myself? Anyways, we ended up just ordering through the waiter. I know that the restaurant is like this rustic millennial burger spot where they do odd stuff but this really threw me off. On top of this, I came with an elderly and when she asked for a water the waiter pretty rudely told her that it was self serving. Maybe this is nitpicking, and maybe we just got a bad apple, but our waiter seemed very unprofessional and spoke to us like we bullied him in high school. Additionally, while ordering, damn near the whole menu was out of stock. You would think that the two dollar charge for every ingredient added on your pizza would pay for some pesto. The menu is already not that big and suddenly it was reduced to only a couple of items. I would maybe understand if we had come later, but it was 4pm. Now for the famous outdoor seating, if you REALLY want to go here, please just eat inside. Yes it was cute, but leaves and seeds were constantly falling into our hair, drinks, and food. Maybe it would've been nicer to have lids on your cups so you weren't literally drinking around Lord-knows-what in your cup. Hopefully the seeds from the trees have protein, because I know I ate some. Finally, about the actual food, I will say that it was pretty good, and it came quickly! However, a burger from in n out or a pizza from blaze pizza is around the same quality for a more reasonable price. As for the pizza, it was pretty good and able to be shared with 2-3 people. Just avoid the "spicy" fries because they are just regular fries drowing in paprika lol. Overall, there are so many other cute spots like this around so just go to one of those. read more

I visited Oakland this past weekend and met up with a friend here after not coming here since moving a few years back. I love Drake's because it's family friendly l, has a wonderful beer rotation and amazing pizza! Our servers were knowledgeable and friendly and very quick. I really love the expansive menu. There is a Mediterranean/ middle eastern influence on the non-pizza items and everything tasted fantastic! The vibes are bustling but not too loud and they have a fireplace inside and fire pits and heaters outside so it's not horrible in the cold. Can't wait to come back soon :) read more

This place is wonderful, service is as you wish, order in your phone and your order will come or wait for a more traditional meal order with a waiter. The food is great, from the pizzas to salads. Minus one for the parking situation, we paid $30 for a couple hours ! read more

Very pleasantly surprised by Drake's these days! The outdoor space is nicely secluded while also being airy and open. The food was actually the star, with the brussel sprouts being the biggest hit. Cooked perfectly and sooo flavorful. We also enjoyed the meat lovers pizza and the mac n cheese. I have to say the service was a bit lacking in speed, as they seem quite understaffed - but friendly overall. The beer selection is good. Will return! read more

Pretty nice experience! We went there for a graduation dinner and were glad to have made reservations before hand. They have a HUGE space with all kinds kf different seating options for you ranging from outdoor to indoor with fire pits to keep nice and cozy. They have a wide rangibg menu and have tons of beer on tap. We got the brussel sprouts, lentil burger, shrimp pasta, tabdoori chicken pizza and fries, mac n cheese and all the food was a smash hit. The portions were pretty good size for sharing as well. All the food was absolutely delicious. The service was kinda haphazard since they indicated us to order through the qr code but the. Came in person to wrtie it down. Howeever the food came out quick. The only issue is the parking. The parking they have is kinda expensive ($3 for 15 mins) so i would park on the street i stead or find a deck around the restaurant. read more

Drake's Dealership is a great place to come with a crowd, especially with the ease of QR code ordering. But the vibes are definitely better than the food, which was fine. I came with a group so I was luckily able to try a few things. The Dude Ya pizza was satisfying but forgettable. The butter chicken curry fries had a nice flavor but the fries weren't crisp enough to handle the sauce, so they were immediately soggy. The Brussels sprouts might have been the best bite of the night! The West Thai'd Burger was unique. The housemade pickles were totally disappointing. It was a small bowl for $8 and it was just vaguely vinegary vegetables. The chili crisp ranch was also a let down. At least it was a very large portion for $1.50 and definitely big enough to share with the table! My cocktail was refreshing and juicy, albeit not very strong. The lunch special looks like a great deal though. If I lived nearby, I'd definitely check that out! read more

Great ambiance! Love that you can order quickly through QR codes (also, some items on the menu are slightly cheaper). Not a huge fan of their pizza. It's fine, very wide but very thin kind of cracker like crust. The brussels sprouts with yogurt were excellent. Comes with a bunch of nuts and seeds on top, adding some crunch. The burger was good. The fries were just okay -- not super crispy. Wish I had just gotten a burger with brussels sprouts instead! Bf liked the s'mores bread pudding, would order again! Chocolate ice cream was fine but not needed. Parking is tough in this neighborhood. They seem to validate parking at The Hive, from 4-10 on weekdays and noon-10 on weekends. It's half off with validation, so $6 / hr or $15 max. read more
