I came here for my 1st time to hear some friends DJ house music. I liked that there were 2 rooms. The 1st room has a bar in it & some lounge seating. The 2nd room is where the dance action takes place. They set it up so it was perfect for people to watch on the sidelines as well as dance. There is a stripper pole in the 2nd room that got alot of attention that night (particularly by the men). The bartender was attentive & the only one so he was swamped. The 1st drink I had was great, but the 2nd was so strong I couldn't drink it. The crowd was pretty easy going, most wearing sweatshirt or kick back clothes. Street parking was easy to find & there is a Taco Bell (yuk!) next door that helped my friend avoid a hangover. I would come back again. read more

Steph is AMAZING!!! She knows her drinks and came up with some pretty yummy side ones too! Great conversation and everyone in the place after going twice remembers you and says "hi". Music is divers and fun! Something different every night and the food is delicious! read more

Ok, this review is looong over due! This is by far my favorite spot to chill, hang out, and party! Awesome drinks, check! Space for you to dance off what you drank, check! Seats for you to "lounge" (3411, lol) after dancing, check! Awesome friendly staff that takes good care of you, check! Check, check, and check! Place is pretty roomy, they even have a dance pole! lol. Not that I would use it. Hahah! In addition, there's been a few times I've inquired about parties and Stephanie is cool and lenient! She goes above and beyond! Her and her staff are the best! Remembers my drink all the time! Hands down by far best Lounge in the area! w00t!!! read more

After a terrible experience at a local bar in Berkeley, my friends and I decided to try a local bar in Oakland, and the warm welcome we received was AMAZING. This place is nicely set up, with a stage area walled off from the bar so it's not so loud if you're not ready to dance yet. They had killer Halloween decorations up, and they have a rotating gallery on their walls featuring work by local artists. The bartenders were both super nice, as was the doorman, and I felt appreciated as a customer. I don't know how good their prices are because a very friendly gentleman bought my drinks all night, but their Blueberry Lemon Drop shot is tasty! I will definitely be coming back and bringing my friends! read more

Seriously, last night I made my way from Fremont to Oakland to check out this place based on Yelp reviews and everyone who gave this place high markings was on point. Its a hidden gem, and off the beaten path. However, as soon as you step in you're greeted w a warm smile from the gorgeous Stephanie, owner and bartendar-goddess. The lounge area is dim-lit, inviting you to sit back and relax on their well-worn couches and in a separate room, there's a huge dance floor w enough space to accommodate a band or dj and folks wanting to shake their bootays. The women's bathroom (can't speak for the men's but I'm sure its no different), and this is very important... was CLEAN. As a resident of Maui, I frequent many of the bars on island and what sets these bars/lounges apart from the mainland is the hospitality, the gracious host(ess), the feel-good, no worries vibe, the unpretentiousness, come as you are kind of bar. And I'm happy to say Lounge 3411 is all that and more because Maui doesn't have a bar owner like Stephanie. I truly feel as if I've made a new friend for life, and new place to hang my hat whenever I'm in the Bay. read more

I wish this place was closer to my area, I'd be there all the time! A couple of friends of mine are DJ's and once a month they spin there (Fruity Cocktail!!) so I drove out to go support them and have a good time. The owner who was also the bartender was so sweet and friendly!!! Didn't feel pressured to get drinks or anything, just good vibes. Also they don't skimp on the alcohol ;] The bathroom was very clean as well! There is a dance floor (with a stripper pole!!) and a little mini lounge area with a couch. This place is pretty easy to miss just driving down the street but I'm sure its just a matter of time before it becomes "the spot" lol Great vibes, great prices, awesome owners/bartenders. just too bad its such a far drive for me. Will be back soon tho! read more

I have been there twice and: pros: Easy parking Cheap drinks (good though) friendly staff slammin djs clean bathroom nice atmosphere cons: easy to drive by (needs an outdoor sign so you can find them easier) hot on the dance floor read more

Wow I can't honestly believe the dirt bags that wrote poor reviews for this place. They honestly prove that you can't please everyone all the time. The people that run this bar are two of the nicest most welcoming people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. The bar always serves very well made drinks and probably the best price you will ever pay for the size drinks they serve. I just wish they had some food and snack for sale haha. The bar is obviously a work in progress and each time I come I see it improving. I will gladly support these amazing people and have had a good time every time I go. Ps anyone who says their drinks are over prices should just stick to $1.99 40's from the liquor store. You obviously don't know shit about bars or what most bars in the city charge for drinks. read more

This is my favorite lounge/bar/ hangout!! From the first time I went there up until now it has always been stellar customer service. Stephanie, owner and fabulous bartender, always knows my drink and is so friendly. When there have been too many drinks, she is always happy to call a cab for us and lets us know when it arrives. The lounge is the perfect size and I always look forward to events going on there! read more

1 star for TACO TUESDAYS!! 2nd star for the cocktails 3rd star for the prices 4th star for the service This is the spot for taco tuesdays!! $2 for tacos & $4 for cocktails from 6-9PM!!! The owner of the bar is really sweet & is always informative about upcoming events. I recommend coming by during taco tuesdays or even for a drink & to chillax. I had the best moscow mule & blueberry lemondrop hurr. And the people have been pleasant too. read more

I really can't say anything wrong this place. It's a great local lounge, no problems, and good workers. Strange location and doesn't really have a sign that says you're at the right location. You basically had to find it through maps app or be walked in by someone you know. Great beer selection, doesn't change very often and vast amount of liquor of course. Don't really know the wine situation. It was my first time trying moonshine.. I know it's not the legit one but it was still a good time. A lot of space and places to sit. There's also an entire other room where a Dj is set up and more seating. They have tvs so you can watch any games as well. Call ahead because if it's an early game you'll have no luck. They open a bit late which is perfectly fine. Plenty of parking all around the building, never a problem with that. Next to a Taco Bell in case you et hungry. They do have food but haven't tried it. Have tried that tacos on taco Tuesday and those were awesome. read more

This bar is amazing, the owner is amazing, the drinks are amazing (and strong!!) and the vibes are amazing!!! Try the Dark and Stormy's!!! Homemade ginger syrup = amazing!!! Threw a surprise party for a friend here and had an amazing time! We were all treated like we were high end customers and promptly served amazing cocktails. The owner was even nice enough to open an hour early so we could come and set up. I can't say enough good things about the staff, the bar, the drinks and the feeling you get when you go to 3411. It's like one gigantic crazy partying family. XOXOXO! It's nice to know that there are still bars out there where customer service/remembering regulars/locals is still regarded as proper service. Will be coming back here over and over and over and over and over again. Love, love, love this place. read more

Fun enjoy able staff with an awesome owner who is also a bartender! They have all the typical drinks younger people love to down and price that allow you to have a great night out without breaking the bank! They also have a great couch lounge area with super squishy couches that let you get cozy and provide a homy feeling to sit down and chill with friends while sipping on your super fatt drinks! Then in the back is my personal favorite part! A dance floor complete with a dancing pole and a dj! They will play anything you request and not too long after you ask for it! It's all black back there with flashing fun lights an some awesome comfy benches to take a break from shaking your tail feathers! I truly love this bar and truly recommend everyone go check it out! read more

We came. We saw. We left. We almost didn't bother popping our heads inside. Maybe I was expecting something less divey, and good music. But the crowd had on their best sweatshirts to get down to some goth sounding music. It was too much for me. Maybe we came on a bad night? Maybe that was a good night and it just isn't my scene? The venue was great though - lots of space, lots of seating, plenty of dancing room, and yes...a stripper pole. I'd like to come back here, but I'm clueless if it is worth the trek or when I should make a 2nd attempt. read more

Great bartenders, friendly environment, and on certain days of the week there are fun events to attend too. Taco Tuesday game nights are one of my favorite nights. There's tacos being made while a beer pong tournament is happening, and if your not into that you can also just chill out play some video games and hang with cool people. I recommend this is a go to bar if you wanna be local. read more

Came here on NYE and it was pretty hoppin' or poppin' (what do kids use these days?). It was pretty crowded but nothing I can't squeeze through. The crowd was nice and excited for the new years count down and everyone was friendly. They provided food which was a plus! There is a front and back area which is pretty small but somehow provided adequate seating for all those who were not exactly coherent from the alcohol. Ahem. Anyways, the music was chill and a mix of different styles so there was something for everyone. The stripper pole made this place an interesting touch but many shy partiers passed by or took a long glance at it. I would come back for a chill, low key night. read more

We love this place. The owner is awesome and makes great drinks. Has a great old fashioned she makes, as well as some house made syrups for a number of other cocktails. Every First Friday is a spectacular breakbeat party called Faultline, and other electronic music parties throughout the month. The bar is separated with the dance floor in another room with great sound for the dive it appears to be. The art on the walls rotates every month with local artists. This is pretty much the best nightclub in oakland for electronic music fans. on Friday and Saturday nights. Plus Taco Tuesdays, Karaoke on Wednesdays, and live music on Thursdays. Very eclectic crowd and set right on the edge of Laurel District. Some may call the area sketch, but thats only because they don't live in Oakland. read more

One of the best "unknown" bars in Oakland and the owner Stephanie is mad cool. The sound system bangs, they play a variety of music from hip hop to house music, the stripper pole is always a fun sight to see by the end of the night, A's games and dope movies can be watched on the flat screen, local artists hang on the walls, heavy pours, taco Tuesdays, and when she didn't have Belvedere vodka behind the bar when I asked, the next time I visited this joint she had a bottle ready for me. Smiley heart! So if you're chill'n in the hood and tired of the loungy Uptown scene of downtown Oakland, I highly suggest hitting up the "Cheers" of Oakland where Steph will always know your name. "But you don't have to take my word for it." -LeVar Burton read more

This place is great and just friendly and great drinks, great music, great vibe. I moved across the bay and miss this place but worth a trip across the bridge to go back again. It's a hidden gem and you will see great mixed crowd, and cozy. It's definitely a lounge with fun fun fun people inside. Dance floor is a plus too. Stephanie is an awesome person and the best bartender ever!! read more

Stephanie is amazing!!!!!! Really chill and down to earth. Not usual to find the owner of the bar as cool as the bar. Fireballs, blueberry lemon drops and amazing dark and stormy....good vibe, very down to earth. Beer pong tables that make the night and an overall great night. read more

Lounge 3411 - Lounges Near Me - Oakland, California

This is the home location of a great Thursday night Deep House weekly event that my friends throw. The bar owner Stephanie is super sweet and makes good stiff drinks. They also have Linden Street beer on tap so you know I approve. This place has a down home bar vibe, friendly people, and every time I have been there the crowd was awesome. I haven't checked it out on a non-Thursday event but I hear they are also good. read more

TOP 3 REASONS WHY I GAVE IT 2 STARS: 1) 5:1 girls to guy ratio 2) the dj played the same 2song for two hours 3) nobody danced but the bartenders were good at what they did, the drinks were tasty, and its not like me and my friends didnt have fun at all. So overall, i mean, its not somewhere id choose to go again, but if i had to, it wouldnt be dreadfull either. read more

Best bar in East Oakland...friendly staff, affordable drinks, fun weekly pop-up meals sometimes featuring kasoy, pazole, sliders and hotlinks!!!!...and of course the mainstay taco Tuesday...featuring both traditional and unique recipes upon a warm corn tortilla (vegetarian friendly) read more

A great whole in the wall. There's not much to say. Patrons has always been friendly and very local. Bartenders and staff were great and friendly. Drinks were fairly priced and good. I went when they had karaoke night and it was fun! Other nights they played a good range of music. I know they have different themed nights so there's always options. I heard they have yummy tacos which i have to try next time! All in all, it's a place to check out!! read more

Second time coming here, excited for tonight and our date. Very nice setting and the place is fantastic for hanging out with the loves in your life read more

This place rocks. 2 dollar beers on tap before 10. Stella, shock top, linden street...to name a few. Live band on Thursday This place is a bit off the beaten path in Oakland, but def worth it and the bartender rocks! I'm def going back!!! read more

(3 words: LOVE THIS PLACE!) I've lived in Oakland all my life and always passed by this place. I would hit up Taco Bell, the Liquor Store, back in the day I would get some donuts I never knew this hidden gem was in my neighborhood. From the outside it doesn't look like there is even a bar/lounge. With no signs in the front except for the address, hence 3411, this is forsure a low-key spot. The owner/bartender is Awesome! Her name is Stephanie. I was just introduced to this place as of last year and every time I step foot into this lounge, I feel right a home. The service is excellent. The drinks are good and the music is dope! They have a variety of genres during the week/month. I prefer to go on Thursday's for Roots Shack Reggae or Tuesday's for Taco Tuesday's. The weekend is also a good time, but its either hit or miss with the crowd. The atmosphere is not HOOD or GHETTO. When people think Oakland, they think of violence and ghetto people. This is not the case. There was only one incident that this place was crazy wild! This was on New Years Eve. The scene was mostly Asians, which is not normal because this was probably alot of peoples first time at this place. That night reminded me of clubs like Mission Rock or City Nights (Not my cup of tea). Since I am a little older now, I appreciate the 21+ Lounges/bars. Anyways, when I walked into the lounge that night, I had the vibe that something bad was going to go down. A minute before the new year, a fight broke out. =( Normally this type of scene doesn't happen here at 3411. BTW, I also DJ here on certain occasions. Steph gave me the opportunity to DJ her Birthday party which was over the weekend. Im not writing this review because I DJ here or know the owner, I am writing this post to let people know that Oakland isn't all that bad if you at least give businesses a chance. I would recommend this place to people who seek something different in Oakland rather than other bars/lounges in downtown. read more

Lounge 3411 - Lounges Near Me - Oakland, California

You begin with a perfectly lit bar area facing couches and tables, all surrounded by monthly rotated artwork from local artist. Exhibit like paintings are tastefully positioned and adorned. It feels urban, hip, chic and underground without being cluttered, sloppy or over the top. The sounds of House, DNB, Dubstep, Reggae or live bands set the mood as bass pulses from the adjacent room, but wait, you can still hear yourself think... Thirsty? Of course, you did come to drink right? A lovely personable bartender greets you and prepares a stiff one. You glance at the big flat screen above- nice they got the game on, however you've been craving for a dose of the Matrix, so they respond by turning it on... The night is young yet you begin to notice the energy in the adjacent room is increasing. Hmmm. A large window behind the couches gives you a clue as to what's happening in there. So you take your final sip before removing yourself and embarking on the party side of the lounge. Yes! People are dancing, not just mean mugging each other or trying to steal your girlfriend. Yes! You admire and appreciate the lighting and sound system. A local artist is doing live painting off to the corner. Sick! It's almost too good to be true. A lounge on MacArthur that's reminiscent of those downtown or in SF. It's 4 solid stars and 5 by Oakland's standard but let us not kid ourselves, it fails in comparison to some you've frequented in LA, Vegas or NY. "A-OK" by worldwide status but this is home and you begin to fall in love with Jessica, Stephanie and the big Samoan guy who seems to have everything on lock. F-it, you think. 5 stars it is. From the outside it's typical "Town" business being carried out throughout Oakland's Laurel as one may think 3411 is merely another dive. Once inside and mingling with the Manager/Owner, staff and locals, you soon realize how at home you really are. In fact it's "Town" business done correct. Check there site or Facebook in advance to find the DJs or Band styles of your choice and make this place at the very least, a local pit stop before venturing out into nightlife. read more

This place literally is as good as it gets. I read the reviews on here before I moved into the neighborhood. My first night here I walked to meet my roommate at 3411 (that ended up being across the street from my place) and I instantly was elated. Super dark , awesome atmosphere with $2 beers until 10. There's always a DJ spinning something in the back dance room (complete with stripper pole!). If you are planning on checking out Lounge 3411, you need to try Stephanie's version of a 'Dark & Stormy'. It is the most refreshing, delicious drink in the world. Best co-ownership EVER: Adam is the brains and bouncer Stephanie is the charm and skill Both are incredibly nice and know how to make people have a good time! read more

This is one of my favorite places to go straight after work for good food and couple drinks after a hard day when I don't feel like cooking, which is quite often. And its close to home - no driving across town, or driving into the city, but who does that anymore? read more

I was in the drive thru of Taco Bell, "Where the heck is that music coming from?" My curiosity lead me to circle the block and there it was, a handful of people smoking in front of a building that looked vacant (no signage) and my eyes were able to focus on a small sign that read, "no persons under 21allowed". I did not go in that night because I didn't want my car window to get smashed for my taco supremes but a few nights later my cousin invited me to come here. I came here for the first time on Saturday night. With 3 live bands and an awesome owner, I did not hesitate to drop some dollars here. First round of drinks were free, compliments of my cousin's referral program and in return, 3 paid round of drinks and a life long patron. Throughout the night, I found out more and more about the place; live bands, DJs, plush couches, decent bathrooms, comedy shows, reggae night, dance floor intact with a pole, CASH only, break beats and one personable owner - my awkward nice to meet you handshake at the end of the night was overshadowed by her hug. read more

My first time here and it was awesome!!! A great place to come to from a long day at work or a stressful day. The environment in this lounge is great and the bartender Stephanie she's one awesome person, she makes the best mix drinks ever and there Tuesday taco and happy hour is so fun the tacos is delicious and fun to make new friends.. If you have a chance to stop by there try the white gummy bear.. read more

3411 lounge is like finding a diamond in a rough. Walking into the bar, you feel a warm intimate atmosphere. The crowd is diverse and once you meet Stephanie you know why this bar is so greatly reviewed. This is a bar that is a must to visit. Drinks are awesome, bartender is great, the art is amazing, and happy hour on Tuesday's is wow. 5 STARS!!! read more

Fantastic local pub with great entertainment and super friendly staff and ownership! Great addition to the Laurel neighborhood!

I moved to Oakland a year ago from North Carolina and 3411 welcomed me and all the locals befriended me, it's like a family! Great environment and good people. Crystal who wrote the bad review was banned almost a year ago from coming because they wouldn't over serve her and all she says is a lie. Come to Taco Tuesday and play beer pong and old school video games or karaoke night and you're bound to have a great time! Plus they have happy hour now too! read more

My favorite local bar. Friendliest staff, great drinks and decent prices. Everyone there has been super friendly and welcoming. Nothing fancy (who needs that?) but they have rotating art shows and host many community events -- which is way more important in my book. read more

One of the better bars in my area. It's really cheap and good quality for what you get. The entertainment is eclectic with all kinds of different bands and DJs coming in. The vibe is laid back with some nice lighting and some couches to lounge on as you enjoy your drinks with some cool artwork hanging up. read more

And here, my friends, is another example of a great local Oakland venue the pops up and delivers some booty shaking times! It's places like this that make me think of crossing the bridge to good ol San Francisco a thing of the past, a distant memory. Why the hell go to the city when you can kick it Town status? Beside, not only is it a great local Oakland venue that serves up a a mean drink; never skimping as the bartenders pour em nice a heavy. Oh and did I mention at a fair rate? One that will not break your pocket into half and have you eating noodle bowls until your next paycheck. You get a nice local art scene as the decor produces walls covered in great Art and a nice lounge session with couches lining one "room" (the lounge); Great for anyone wanting to sit down and chop it up over that nice heavy drink that is in your hand. You also have a dance floor where you'll find DJ's (like myself) cutting it up and Bboys/Girls getting down. Sure you'll run into the random person who still thinks the Roger Rabbit is battle worthy, but really does it matter? No. And why? Well you're in the enclosed dance floor rocking out to heavy basslines, so thick the hair on your arm raises up. You've got a DJ who is playing something other than the whack shit you heard on KMEL on the way to the club. You have dancing poles randomly tucked away as a handful of females take their turns on trying to get it down. One or two succeed with great results while the others make it a fun memory in the process. Really you can have some of the best nights in a place like this. All in all, its this kind of place that helps put Oakland nightlife on the map. And for that I support you! read more

Love the taco tuesday! Mario has the best tacos. He does bbq chicken, barbacoa and even has vegetarian options. Alternates between roasted veggies, potato and soyrizo tacoa. The bartender Aaron is so nice! Always takes care of you with a smile. Homemade ginger syrup makes a good hot toddy. Karaoke on Wednesday and always has all the major sports ganes on. read more

Have been here 3 or so times - including this past Saturday for an EDM event - and every time I've been in there, the bartenders and bouncers are laid-back and genuine, and the music itself is great! Yes, the dance floor's small, but the place is well-ventilated and once again, if you're looking for quality EDM in Oakland, then this place has it at least twice a month. Check it out! read more
