    Comedy Show!
    Gina H.

    Really sad to have to update my review but this 1 star goes to the two bartenders in the back by the stage. I came here on Sunday after Pride with a group of friends. After paying a $10 cover charge, we went to the bar to grab drinks. My friend initially ordered 4 vodka sodas and a white claw which came out to $50+. Upon getting his credit card receipt he asked to buy an additional vodka soda for a friend who just pulled up. He was charge $23+ for ONE drink. When asked for the price change the bartender said "it's a double" & he responded "I didn't ask for a double." The bartender shrugged and said "it is what it is." Absolutely insane! The worst part was that it tasted exactly like a single. As it was my turn to buy drinks I went over to the bartender next to her instead. I ordered a whisky coke, vodka soda, & a white claw. I KNEW TO ASK FOR PRICE FIRST. The bartender calculated in her head & said $29. I handed her my card & tell me why I got a receipt for $43!!! Again, these bartenders are ringing everyone up for doubles! We absolutely will not be back & will not be recommending this place to anyone.

    Nice venue! Came here for a birthday function. Space is nice and open with a bar and booth/ table seating area in the front half, with a stage / dance floor in the back end. The vibe of the establishment stuck to that "downtown" style, which I liked. Didn't get to see it but there's also a comedy club up in the 2nd floor too which sounds cool. Got to try most of their speciality drinks, as we had an open bar package for our event. Most of the drinks were strong, but they had a good variety of specialties. Food was good, standard bar food, but pricey ($30 for a medium pizza and order of fries + tip). Overall- 8/10. Staff were super nice and friendly. The bar and security lady that was watching the front were the best, special shoutout to them!

    Oakland is such a hub of diversity that it breaks pieces of my heart when neighborhood gay bars like Port Bar and Feelmore Social close. Even though it's louder than the venues we most prefer, Jamie W and I settled into this cavernous space on a late Sunday afternoon. Clearly the space is meant for more than drinking. We envisioned a lot of dancing and performing but not by us. We sat at a big banquette where we apparently just missed the last of the food orders. However, we did imbibe a couple of their $15 Spicy Margaritas which were on the lighter and sweeter side (photo: https://yelp.to/WSUSC1KZ_n). Meanwhile the urban music was getting louder, and now we know how Stella got her groove. It's owned by Richard Fuentes and Sean Sullivan, the same guys who owned Port Bar. COCKTAILS - 3 stars...just not potent enough for this venue AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...really big SERVICE - 3 stars...kinda takes them a while to notice you're here unless you make some noise TOTAL - 3 stars...glad to see this in downtown but I hope smaller bars pop up RELATED - Exploring Oakland?

    Came here on a Sunday evening for a comedy night which is located upstairs. This is a pretty big bar, club, and venue space. The comedy club is upstairs and usually comes with a 2 item minimum, which includes food. I got an espresso martini and my friend got a margarita. We ordered the pizza belly pizza that had pork and jalapeños. We also got their chicken wings (Parmesan and herb) with a side of fries and it was really good. Service was great, they have a huge dance floor on the main floor and large bar area downstairs. There are plenty of bathrooms. There's street parking not too far away and parking garages around the areas.

    Every time I'm in Oakland, I make a point to swing by FLUID510. It's one of those rare spots that keeps you guessing--in the best way possible. One day it's R&B dancing, the next it's a stand-up comedy set or a full-blown drag performance. It's not just a restaurant. It's not just a lounge. It's an experience. The energy shifts, but the hospitality never does. The staff is warm, welcoming, and many of them have been part of the vibe since day one. Whether you're grabbing dinner or stumbling into an unexpected dance lesson, FLUID510 always delivers something unforgettable.

    came here for an event. cute inside with lots of space. the drinks were really good too. good variety of cocktails and mocktails. they also have food. we got the grilled cheese and it was surprisingly really really good!

    The front of the restaurant conveniently located next door to the Lower Bottom Playaz (excellent company) theater.

    I ate the fries and had a beverage. The food was good. The service was good. The ambiance was like a night club because there were dance lessons happening.

    No spa for brunch go food good music good vibes

    This place is to fun and that's before the mimosas hit. Good brunch on the weekends with some trivia as well as good music service is great with friendly and attentive waiters.

We were pretty full from the Yelp event, so we didn't try any food this time, but we looked through the menu, which has a good number of options. I had a White Cosmo, RB had an Espresso Martini, and we had some sparkles. The drinks were all good. Our server was lovely, but it does seem they could hire more help, this is a happening place. Relaxing and intimate vibe, and a nice crowd. We will return next time we're in Downtown Oakland.

There are also extensive cocktails on the menu running at $16-$20 each, which is expected for the creativity and expert craftsmanship of each cocktail. They have a large number of cocktails that are special and seasonal, and then their classics on the bottom. I don't think you can go wrong with anything that you try and I love that they have Asian fusion options for the cocktails and savory and sweet.

Technically, we got to try it out the week after, but they extended their menu for the week after. We came that Sunday evening. Parking can be a bit of a hassle because it is indeed Downtown Oakland. Your whole party has to get the Restaurant Week Menu. So we all got their: Aperitif Cocktail - Tomato Beef or Purely Passion (Non Alcoholic) I got the Purely Passion. Good, nothing to write home about. Umami Tots This was really good! Very Crispy. Chili Cucumbers This one was actually really good. Szechuan Salt and Pepper Wings Good, but maybe too crispy? Wings are always good but this one didn't stand out for me. Mango Sorbet (They changed this from the Apple Sorbet that day) My favorite of the whole night. I usually don't like sorbet but this one was soft and easy to eat and has like a creamy like texture? Trying this made me want to try their other dessert item. We also ordered 2 add ons - the Hojicha Miso Tiramisu and the Korean Mapo Tofu. Hojicha Miso Tiramisu was OK. It contained too much alcohol for all of us and was bitter. Disappointing. I liked the Mapo Tofu! I liked that it was Crispy and that it came with rice. Drinks wise, my friends also got to try the Tomato Beef and White Rabbit. I don't really drink alcohol so I just sipped a bit. Tomato Beef was too alcoholic for me, couldn't really taste the tomato or the beef, but I could see what White Rabbit was going for. Overall, I'm really impressed by the food. I usually think Bar Food isn't very good, but this blew me away. Drinks are OK.

The first thing you notice is the beautiful ambiance of decor there. It felt like I was on vacation in Costa Rica. The house speakers playing Latin and Dominican music def set the tone that this was a place rich in culture. I must say that the server Kimmy as well as Crista the bartender were both bright spots. The food was awesome as well. The steak was served to temperature (med rare) and the dealers choice rum cocktail was phenomenal. What made this dinner visit special was the fact that the chef came from behind the window to check on everyone. Being in hospitality for 30 years, I can say that I know genuine passion when I see it.

I don't know when this started happening but now there is a cover fee, which is no problem because I know it's busy and it's mostly known for being a bar with some snacks .... we came for the snacks so no problem paying a cover charge. The sketchy part about it was the hostess at the front door said they're not accepting cash for the cover fee and they are only accepting Zelle . We search the email to pay but it asked for first and last name and at that point she said never mind you guys can go sit down . so that was weird number one ! Especially because I would assume as a business your Zelle handle would have something about the business and not a personal persons Zelle . number two I know that their menu always changes depending on seasonal products so that's not a big deal , but I know they usually always have oysters . when I went to go place my order the waitress said that they do not have oysters and explained to me that it's a party tonight so they only have certain items .... but luckily for me one of the cooks from the back was standing behind her so I assume when I walked away, he corrected her because she came back and said oh we do have oysters ?! very interesting to me . Overall vibes are still cool inside , they were playing all the hits. The food was good . the empanadas ! the ingredients were very fresh. You could taste it in every bite. The goat cheese was probably our favorite thing that we got perfectly breaded gooey cheese . and the oysters were good. I just wish we could get more for what we pay for. I think it's $22 just for three. I'm used to paying $22 for six with all the ingredients that they claim they use , but yeah . I don't know what's going on with the staff. That's why I'm taking one star away other than that love the vibe , the ambience feels good. Just staff needs to get it together. And I hope they aren't scamming people at the door .

Tallboy's martini menu is well-executed. While I didn't personally try one of the slushies, a friend ordered the espresso martini version and gave it a solid thumbs-up. Unfortunately, the experience falls apart when it comes to food and service. Waiting 30+ minutes for two hot dogs (after paying) is hard to justify. When I checked in with a server, she was curt and dismissive. She was quick to explain there was only one person in the kitchen, with no effort to offer a solution, timeline, or even basic courtesy. I understand staffing issues happen. However, customer service is a close second to concept. How an issue is communicated and addressed is what separates good service from bad. What's more frustrating is that these aren't customer problems to absorb. If the kitchen is understaffed, if tables aren't being cleared in a timely manner at a seat-yourself spot, those are management problems. Guests should not have to choose to leave without the food we paid for. There's a lot of competition out there, and concepts alone aren't enough to bring people back. I genuinely wanted that hot dog. That's probably the most disappointing part of the whole experience. Great drinks, solid ambiance, but the service needs serious attention.
