    DJ in the booth

    This was my first time visiting this establishment. Pleasantly surprised by the owner who was very hospitable, and a generous pourer. My favorite part was the LED hallway to a back bar and then then a surprise back patio. I'm unsure if you can sit at the parkland in front. But for an upside, you can be your own personal DJ and select a songs in the DJ booth. I posted photos of my friend who was Mr DJ for the night.

    This is a new LGBT friendly bar in downtown Oakland I ran into a week after it opened. There are two bars, a patio (street seating also), a stage, and it looks set up for live performances. Very nice to see this addition to the community! Also the bartenders and owner are super nice.

    Friendly bar, tucked away from the scene. It's great to so more queer spaces on this side of the Bay.

    Don't understand how this place isn't more popular. Great bartenders, great bathrooms, great sound system, cheap drinks. No cover!

    It is a grit and grind place with a lot of culture and things to do - food, museums, shopping, and community events on the occasion.

    Clean organized bar and lounge in DT Oakland with full bar, dance floor, DJ/scene setup for parties…read moreand night events. Open area good for mingle, dance, socialize. Good variety of American and Mexican food. They serve brunch too with decent selection of breakfast dishes. Service is OK and can get slow when busy. Parking is at mercy of DT Oakland, somewhat difficult with paid street parking. Flat entry and wide routes inside make it accessible. Great for parties, groups, get to gather for sport events. Big projector screens make it great place for events watching.

    So here's my update on this absolute dumpster fire of an establishment from Friday, March 20…read more I came in, ordered ONE margarita, and within about five minutes, the bartender was physically fighting with a drunk patron and trying to choke them out while the security guard stood there being completely useless. Truly incredible to watch a place be that understaffed, unprofessional, and unsafe all at once. But wait, it gets worse. After I already left a review about being caught in the middle of their little bar brawl, these geniuses charged my card AGAIN for $52.92 after I had already left. For what exactly? The drinks from the drunk people THEY were over-serving before the fight broke out? Because it definitely wasn't mine. Let me be very clear: I walked in. I ordered ONE drink. A margarita. That's it. So somehow I got front row seats to a bartender throwing hands, security doing absolutely nothing, and then got charged like I sponsored the chaos. This place is a joke. Unsafe, sloppy, and apparently so incompetent they can't even charge the right customer after turning the bar into a live-action WWE event. If you enjoy being overcharged, caught in the middle of violence, and watching staff behave worse than the intoxicated customers, this might be your spot. Easy 1 star. Honestly, zero if I could. 3.24.26 I now have to dispute a charge that never should have been on my card in the first place. This place somehow managed to turn an already awful experience into an even bigger mess by fraudulently charging me $52.92 after everything that happened. I am beyond irritated. At this point, if I have to press charges against the bartender for charging my card without authorization, I will absolutely do it. The level of incompetence and unprofessionalism here is unreal. Not only was I subjected to chaos, but now I'm wasting my time cleaning up a problem THEY created
