    This Bar and restaurant was our last leg of the Hennessy Bar Crawl that supports black joy in oakland. I really enjoyed the aesthetic of the restaurant as it really had an elevated feel. I was surprised to see that there were two levels to the restaurant. Not only could you enjoy good meals but there was a section that was on the second floor closed off for our personal event. The bar space was very clean and cool. The music was not too loud and the drinks were mixed to perfection. I really enjoyed some of the food plating. That night we were able to have their white cheddar beef sliders along with seasoned chicken wings that could be dipped in a jerk sauce or ranch. I thought the flavor profile was amazing and I definitely can't wait to go back as I hear they have a fantastic Jazz night on sundays. The wait staff was very attentive and made sure that all of our service needs were taken care of promptly. All in all this was a great restaurant.

    This is a such a gem in Oakland! I was able to pop in after an in office work day and I'm glad I did. This vibe is topical oasis, vey date night. We during happy hour and. had the collard greens dip, ban catfish, fries and margaritas. Everything was 10 except the ban bun but the fish was perfect. The staff was friendly and attentive, food came out fast . I hope it stays around for a good while.

    Came here on a Thursday for a happy hour and I was definitely happy! They have a great, vast selection of appetizers to choose from for good prices! I got one of everything. The drinks they serve too are delicious and affordable! The staff is extremely kind and friendly too. They are great at engaging with you and making recommendations. It's nice to see Oakland uphold a bar with a classier feel to it. I hope Lucy Blue stays successful, and I look forward to returning soon!

    Ok, I see you Oakland! Love all of the new-ish spots that are coming up in the Town, with Lucy Blue being one of them. Located right next to the Fox, Lucy Blue is an awesome vibe. The space has transformed to something beautiful, such a vibrant atmosphere. The staff were so kind, and the patrons seemed happy to be there. A cool spot to kick it with a cocktail, grab some pre-dinner snacks or a full meal, and looks like there's a private event space upstairs. We ordered drinks only, but we were eyeing the catfish bao buns, black-eyed pea hummus, and the warm collard dip for our next trip. Also the oxtail arancini sounds delish too. The day we came in there was a Kentucky Derby Party with lotsa fun hats and fits. Checking their event calendar, looks like they have music on specific nights too. We took a ride-share because parking is congested downtown, but there are metered lots nearby. Can't wait to roll through again soon!

    The ambiance is super sexy. It's open seating so we chose to sit upstairs overlooking the restaurant. I love how well-dressed and grown everyone was. It reminded me of being out during the 2010s when downtown was poppin'. Food and drinks did not disappoint: catfish bao (crunchy and flavorful), spare ribs (soft and moist), lamb chops (rich and cooked to perfection). My fave drink was the spicy margarita. We also tried the key pie bread pudding for dessert which was super rich. Took forever to come to us because they got really busy. But honestly, not mad because I am happy for them. Overall the visit was lovely. We hope this business continues in Oakland!

    Wanted a nice cocktail lounge with creative cocktails and this fit the bill. Tropical, chic vibes with mood lighting. We got there around 8:30 PM on a Thursday night and there was still plenty of seating. We wanted to see what the upstairs area was like, but for some reason, we weren't allowed upstairs, so opted for some booth seating in the back. We had some cocktails and shared the Warm Caramel Rice Krispy Treat. I didn't expect much, but the rice krispy treat was actually quite good: tasted like it was homemade. The cocktails were innovative, varied, and well-balanced. One of my friends got one of the spicy drinks and the spice level was just right and not too overpowering. Service was great, but the glasses they gave us initially looked like they had lip marks on them. We asked them to replace it and they did. Would love to come back for not just the cocktails, but their food too another time.

    Ughhhj so beautiful!!!

    I've been dying to come to this restaurant for ever since I heard about it. I made plans with a couple of girlfriends for dinner since we've been talking about it for a few months now and this was the perfect spot. I walked in and I couldn't even talk to the hostess that well because I was so excited about the decor of the place. It was just my vibe with the moody blues and the dark floral and the jungle theme. Beautiful people everywhere and positive vibes all around. I ordered a white Cosmo because vodka. That drink was so perfect and refreshing! For food, we ordered warm collard greens dip that came with seasoned tortilla chips. We ordered the short ribs, which was melt in your mouth good with a perfect ratio of fat and meat. The catfish bao buns were fucking amazing. The catfish was perfect perfectly fried with the pickled veggies and the really soft ass buns. I literally moaned when I took a bite. And after all of that, we were full, but we were all eyeing the deviled eggs so we ordered that too, and it was perfect. The service, the vibe, the food, the drinks, everything was amazing. I'd love to return and catch that vibe again.

    I had my Galentines event here Coordinating with Melanie was very easy and seamless. Everything was explained and communicated very well When I arrived Melanie was expecting me and took me to our reserved area We all had a great time here. Drinks are good and appetizers are great My favorite for sure was the Catfish Bao buns definitely a 10/10!! Fries are also very good, freshly made and well seasoned Customer service is awesome, the servers checked on us frequently and were always very nice and courteous The venue is clean and nicely decorated I would definitely come back here for a light dinner and or drinks Only draw back is that parking can be hard to find Luckily I was able to find parking across the street but some of my guests had to park 2 blocks away There is a dress code here and I appreciated that and we all respected it Refreshing to be in a venue that requires their patrons to dress and behave accordingly

    I like the atmosphere I love the Food. I love the pricing of the Food. I wish the owner was more friendly, but maybe she'll work on that.

    This place is much bigger than you'd expect. Even though there's plenty of seating, it somehow still feels impossible to find a spot. They don't take reservations, which makes planning your night tricky unless this is your first stop. Once people get a table, they tend to stay for hours, so your chances of snagging one after 9 p.m. are pretty slim. The interior is beautiful, and they do offer a small bites menu. The crowd definitely skews older mostly late 30s to 60s. The dress code also isn't nearly as strict as it's made out to be; I saw plenty of ripped jeans and baseball hats. Overall, I love the vibe they're going for everyone seemed to be having a great time, with no drama at all.

    Espresso Martini

    We came on a Friday night around 8:30. It wasn't too crowded and we snagged a corner table next to the dj booth. It got very crowded soon after. The drinks were phenomenal. The Temescal-ada was my favorite. The Boozy Affogato was also incredible. My friend really enjoyed the Margarita, and she has had margaritas all over the Bay. All of the food was good, but the best was the Elote Hushpuppies (perfect texture, and delicious flavor), the Catfish Bao Buns (lightly fried, seasoned well, delicious sauce, and perfect amount of heat), and the truffle deviled eggs (piled high, truffle is good but not over-powering, smoked trout roe is the perfect touch). The servers were very nice, even though they were clearly overwhelmed. We had a great time and will definitely be back!

    This was a cute little spot. I was looking for happy hour I could attend on my own. The lamp chips and fries were really good. I will pass on the chicken wings, they were dry and not enough flavor as I was expecting. Get the White Cosmo and thank me later !!

    It's a really nice place to visit. Unfortunately the upstairs was booked so I didn't get a chance to try the food

    Viridian, you stole the show this month! This was my first time coming back to Viridian after about…read morea decade, and we were not disappointed. Such a beautiful interior space vibrant in celebration for AAPI Heritage month, and a super fun cocktail menu that was the perfect post-meal moment (both photo-worthy and tastebuds approved). We also noticed they have a cool food menu too filled with yummy and innovative dishes like Cheesy Char Siu Tots, Szechuan Salt & Pepper Wings, Korean Fried Mapo Tofu, BBQ Char Siu Ribs, and more. They also have nice swag ~ we took home a hat that resembled a Kirkland hat that spelled out "Oakland Viridian" (IYKYK). Drink-wise we ordered the Soy Sauce Old Fashioned and the Café Sua Daddy, which essentially is an espresso martini with a fun twist with black sesame and an egg cream foam. Both drinks were outstanding and presentation was beyond..I wished we could have stayed for round two, but duty calls! Ride-share and or BART suggested in this area, it's just a bit congested downtown to park. Service was fun, prices fair for the whole experience. Loved it!

    This place is so cute inside it's definitely a cool almost speakeasy vibe. Came an hour after they…read moreopened and it was already getting pretty busy on a Thursday night. Service was really prompt and friendly. The food was great we ordered all the classics such as the tater tots and the cucumbers, and we also got the salt and pepper wings, and the special mapo tofu. Portions are great and it's definitely a lot of food to share. 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. I got one of the seasonal cocktails that was passionfruit forward and it had a nice tart crisp taste that I really enjoyed.
