    Great house g+t. Jam packed on weekends, usually spinning the hits I like (example: the cure, the smiths, fugazi if you're lucky) dance floor up in the back. Great for groups. A favorite in Oakland.

    Possibly the best bar staff in the city and certainly the most engaging. Precision-made craft cocktails offered without pretension to a friendly, diverse crowd gathered in a prime downtown location.

    strong, but well mixed pour here from the barkeeps, and great diverse crowd (locals, hipsters, suits). reminds me a bit of the dove bar in the village (NY) - which is a good thing. i like.

    A Mad Men set design meets modern day hipsters. I love this bar but avoid Friday & Saturday nights. This is the spot for a quiet drink with a friend on a random weekday.

    Excellent cocktails at prices under $10. Get the "White Fang", a tasty gin and mezcal concoction.

    Looks generic on the outside, but low-lighted (dare say I sexy?) space inside. Diverse crowd -- my BF and I can sit all close, arm-in-arm and nobody pays attention at all. They spin vinyl too!

    Forgot about this place! My favorite bar in Oakland. Fun atmosphere, good cocktails, early 90s hip hop.

    On weekends, single hipsters pack in like sardines. Which I'm sure is great for the single hipsters.

    Excellent bartenders who can make drinks to suit any palette. Strong music selection and warm, cozy atmosphere that offers a strong counterpoint to the modern, sterile drink warehouse.
