There was like a little flea market going on as you enter Vibe is cool Drama free on this particular day the music was like techno vibes Parking ...... Street parking only I saw a bunch of broken glass all over the side walk We risked it all and parked on the street Thankfully my car wasn't violated I would definitely come back here again Maybe next time take a Lyft or Uber to prevent car break in read more

7TH WEST - Menu - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Oakland, California

Really neat venue I stumbled across when I went to hear The Prototype play for a non-profit event. I loved the whole ambiance of the place: hanging lights, cheap drinks, memorable staff, abd delicious food late at night. The fundraising event was a success, and apparently there was a birthday party being hosted at the same time. It's a wonderful space for music and dancing. I'd love to check it out during warmer Oakland nights, although I'm not sure how warm the nights are out here since it's so close to the waterfront. Located along a historic corridor in Oakland, it's a funky place to grab a drink and enjoy some Filipino cooking. Tip: Tip your staff! Bartenders may be open to tips in shot form. read more

Always wanted to visit this place and finally got to this past weekend. Odd location but great space. They are by a homeless encampment but we didn't get bothered. Parking is kind of hard as they are on the corner of a one way street and a main street. Street parking is your only option. The space is beautiful. They have different art pieces and the walls are painted with colorful murals. Even the ground is a piece of art! So much to look at. They do take all safety precautions: they have you sign up on their ipad to acknowledge you have no symptoms, they have hand sanitizer available, and they take your temp before entering. The bar is open but the arcade games are locked up. The bathrooms are unisex, the urinal and toilet are separated by a door. It smelled clean which made me feel more comfortable. Plenty of long tables, bar tops and other seats. You can scan their menu and order from your phone and they'll bring out your order. I wish I visited prior to COVID, but nonetheless the staff were upbeat, music was jammin' and it was great to be outside enjoying the sunshine. I'll definitely be back. *BONUS: filipino owned too! read more

We absolutely loved the vibes here - staff was super friendly, people were hanging out enjoying drinks, and there was a cute market to shop at too. The outside and inside are both beautifully decorated (looking at you Kehlani)! The ordering process is cool; we scanned a QR code on our table and ordered and paid through our phones. There's very minimal waiter interaction. We also filled out a Covid safety form and had our temperatures taken before entering - we loved all the steps taken ensure everyone's safety! I ordered the garlic adobo wing box and the iced tea. The wings were good but a bit too salty. The iced tea unfortunately tasted like nothing (my friend who tried it also confirmed this) - it was essentially water. My friends got the fried chicken sandwich; they said the chicken was super moist and they liked the fries too. The food and drinks both took upwards of 40 minutes to arrive. Overall, I'd definitely come back to and enjoy the live music, market, and a drink! read more

Came here one day after work. DO NOT LET THE NEIGHBORHOOD steer you away. The adobo wings are so good and the carnitas fries were also yummy. if you are going during their food hours. the ambiance and the design of this outdoor bar was awesome. They had open mic when i went.. so the music was awesome! Definitely will go back and maybe join open mic (sike hah) read more

You guys have got to book your next party here but after Covid. My friend had his 30th birthday here back in Feb and it was soooo DOPE! Granted this was way before covid happened but still an amazing time There are arcade games, Filipino food that can be catered for parties, A large enough dance floor and even a back yard for more of the larger venue seating. They have a good selection at the bar. I liked the beer selections the most. The only thing was the parking. It was a little hard to find parking around the area. read more

I have avoided writing this review because now y'all will certainly know where to find me. If you were wondering, this is my spot. Like my bar, where you can find me, it has literally all that I could want in a bar and I hope it never changes! It is dimly lit with statement but muted lighting, there's a stage some days and a chance to be the star of your own private audience every Wednesday for karaoke night. There's art/graffiti adorning the walls created by awesome local muralists and a rotating cocktail menu that truly cant be beat- last night I had such a warming spicy mezcal cocktail, in the summer I Live for a Manila Margarita There's rotating local chef that serve bites to perfectly compliment the drinks, I loooooove when Jeepney Guy is there and was truly sad to see him go from permanent cook to pop up there. Best part is this place is never dull, they have a bunch of video games and it's such a chill local vibe. read more

Came here again at night and the lights and DJ heighten the experience. the Adobo wings are the winner on the menu - sesame seeds on the brussel sprouts are different but the Lumpia portions feel small. Good meeting place for SF and Oakland folks to meet up or a place to start your evening before heading in to SF. read more

7TH WEST - Loaded fries and crispy chicken tinga plate - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Oakland, California

First time here and didn't know what to expect. This place is about a block away from west Oakland Bart. When you guys are coming here and parking please do not leave anything valuable in your car. I use to park around the area to bart to work and got my car broken into 3 times in one year. I don't think the growing homeless encampment around the area is helping either. If you are coming here with a party make sure to come early, they have you fill out a COVID questionnaire and take your temperature. The tables are spread out and you order through a QR code system. You can go inside to use the bathroom otherwise everything is order online. The ambiance here is great. It's also a good area for live bands and aspiring artists to perform. The menu that they had online and on google was different from what they were serving in their QR code menu. Maybe it's a simplified covid menu but I did not enjoy their food. It was quite bland. I ordered the lumpia, fries (they did not have sisig fries), and Filipino rice dish (the rice was regular steamed rice and not garlic rice). The Lumpia was ok, but it's not a show stopper. It didn't make me crave for more. I'm usually a big French fry person however these fries were just not good, they were thick fries and were mushy. The Rice and meat dish was a bit plain. I would come here to hang out and have a drink but I wouldn't come here to eat their food. read more

7TH WEST - Outdoor live music - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Oakland, California

Slowest bartenders. They're even slow pouring a beer. Avoid this place when it's busy. It's a really cool space in a neighborhood that needed something like this. Good spot to chill and have a beer as long as they're not too busy. read more

If you're near West Oakland, want Filipino food, or live music then this is the place to go! Surprised this place wasn't on my radar with my Filipino food fixes lately, but I'm so glad one of my friends took us out here over the weekend. When you pull up to the place via Uber/Lyft (they also have a small parking lot) it looks like a small place but once you enter (they have a bouncer) you are transported to a new place with high ceilings, space for a live band, full bar, and outdoor area with cornhole/large jenga. Can't forget to mention that they have arcade games lining the sides of this place and a change machine if you're feeling like playing a few rounds. We came around 7PM on a Friday night and we had no problem getting a table/ordering drinks but come 9PM this place gets popping. We opted for indoor seating since it's cold, but the outdoor area does have heat lamps and plenty of space that you wouldn't expect based on the exterior. The chicharron ($5), dirty tots ($10), and mochi nuggets ($10?) were superb and were great options to share with a group. The chicharron was the clear favorite at our table but the lechon on the perfectly crispy tots came a close second. They have lechon sauce, sweet chili, ketchup right near the window to the kitchen to the self-serve supplies. Cocktails are so so, but if you're really going for the Filipino experience they sell San Mig and Red Horse which is what we ended up getting a few round of. read more

Met some friends here for lunch. Some friends drove around 9 times to find parking. That's the only negative about this place , parking is horrible. We ordered the lechon , lumpia and tater tots. We loved our food. My friends ordered the chicken but don't know how that tasted like. The tater tots were yummy and crunchy. The lechon was crispy and well flavored. Will definitely come back here and try other stuff again. read more

The vibe here is really cool and unique. We ordered the Brisket fries and lumpia. The portion was large enough for 2 people. The pineapple crema was the MVP of this meal. I was surprised actually. The flavor was there but I think it would be cool if the layered the meat, beans and cream throughout the fries. Once we got to the bottom the fries were pretty dry. I do blame that on the fact that I love sauces (self proclaimed Sauce Queen) but that's neither here nor there. It's a cool place next to west Oakland Bart station. read more

*screams in gay* I am SO sad my first time here was during quarantine. My partner tells me stories of going pre quarantine and how it "used to be" JEALOUS! However, I went to watch the Vice Presidential debate and the food and drinks were delicious! The kitchen really did the darn thing and would go back just for food to be honest. I look forward to a healthy post Covid world so I can experience 7th West in it's entirety read more

Have been here a good amount of times and overall -good to watch games (indoor) -wonderful for groups -better to get food beforehand (chicken lumpia is good though) -cheap drinks It's never really crazy busy when I've came but the space is huge. Hoping to see this place come alive, it's a wonderful venue space. Always meet wonderful strangers, service is usually okay and music and food not bad. read more

We're all for supporting small business so we hope this place works out the kinks and does well. We may come back in a couple of months and give them another try. I'll update my review. It's located in a sketchy area. Google maps took us through a homeless encampment just down the street. The building itself didn't look appealing. It's a warehouse with a bar, pinball machines lining the walls and a DJ area. The back patio looks like a nice place to kick back in. Two stars because my husband loved the fresh chicharon - but that was it. For the price we paid for food, we expected more in quality. I've heard of the Jeepney Guy so I was excited to try the food. I didn't expect to be so disappointed. We came in for Silog Sunday - but they only had bacon silog at the time. The bacon was over done. I tried the vegan sisig and and I just don't know what to say. It was just a pile of onions. We both picked at it trying to figure out what the rest of it was. I couldn't get past the mound of ONIONS. Was there tofu in there? Mushrooms maybe? I was looking so forward to it, too. I ended up just eating the rice and the egg. Finally, dude helping out in there referred to the Giants manager as Chris Bochy?!?! I'm done! Lol read more

My partner and I have been coming here for a year or so and we always loved it here however, yesterday was the first time we were super disappointed. They normally have Filipino fusion tapas available but I think for the weekend they were sponsoring a vegan pop-up. Our group was actually really excited to try the impossible burger so we ordered three with Cajun fries and onion rings. We waited over 35 mins for our food to show up and when it finally did, the fries and onion rings were cold and very sloppy looking with no sauce on the side. The burger did not look appetizing and it was very dry. This was the first time we also had to pay for water and if we wanted sauce to go with our fries or burgers we also had to pay extra for that. We ended up leaving right after we ate because the atmosphere was also not it for a Sunday afternoon. I hope yesterday was just a bad day for them but dam. read more

I am not a fan of Filipino food, but the atmosphere and service makes up for anything that I might not love about the food. I have the fish tacos and they were good. They sell a diet soda that is not diet Coke, but I liked it. My friend's got fish and chips and they looked good. But what's best about this place is a combination of the location, the amazing covid-19 safety precautions, and the service. read more

This spot is huge! A very large inside with arcade games (make sure you have change) a full bar and seating, cafeteria style. The drinks are water. I had two shots of tequila and it didn't even put a dent in my sober state of mind. after two shots I decided to just go to the store instead. The bar is also short staffed so with that being said it was getting crowded but with one bartender, you will be waiting for a while. The outside patio area is also huge! Would be great a space for a day party. There's a few picnic tables and tall tables for lounging. There's a really neat bright red heart that lights up and a huge mural painted onto the wall. Back inside you can find food! There's a small window upon entrance where you can order some Filipino food, my friend ordered tots since she's anti meat these days. I'll be a regular here if they made stronger drinks. FYI, beer should not be "fresh" and flat at the same time. read more

Living in West Oakland, I love exploring neighborhood spots. This one is particularly fun because of the space and diversity of the venue and activities. There is a food kitchen, bar, video game area and indoor/outdoor seating. I've watched many live performances outdoors during Covid and have enjoyed many different Latin and hip hop events that were lit. Always a great time here. read more

7th West - one of my family's favorite places to go! I'm from LA but I will say this place makes me wanna rep the Bay. Their good food, great space for families and fun, and great service - literally they have it all. And to top it off - they some of the best Filipino food to offer, drinks galore at the bar and fun games for you and the kids. What is not to love about this place!? Oh, and don't forget the outside patio that has really cool art space and giant Jenga. If you're looking for a dope place to host a party that's family friendly and will allow you to relax, this is the place to be. My sister had her birthday here last year and we had an amazing time! Oh, and the have pretty dope music. Parking: Street parking only unfortunately - but there's street parking nonetheless! Ambiance: Chill - brewery-esque; Casual. Or dress it up - whatever you like. Regardless, there's drinks, good food, and arcade games. Seating: Seat yourself. Love that this place has a bunch of tables so that it can seat a bunch of people all together. (There were 25+ of us ... had to be cuz we had a buncha kids runnin' around too). Food: Jeepney Guy - FILIPINO FOOD. I think their menu changes sometimes... so just gotta call and ask. Or be surprised. Everything I tasted was good anyways. lol. Drinks: TAKE YOUR PICK. There's a bar, special drinks to your liking. Bathroom: On site and available for use. read more

This place has gone down hill since it first opened. This last time I visited the bartender and the drinks sucked the music sucked and the food was horrible as well. read more

This is such an awesome venue! I've been here several times and recently celebrated my birthday and it was such a great evening, I highly recommend this spot if you are looking for a spacious outdoor venue. They have an indoor section too but I love the outdoor patio, which has art everywhere, with pleasant lighting and again, so much space. It's also dog friendly! They have a great selection of drinks and food too. Zollie was the host who was so accommodating and sweet to allow me to have my friends DJ for my birthday. I was very grateful my request was accepted on short notice, and Zollie and 7th west folks made it super seamless for my friends to get set up and have a lovely memorable evening. I will definitely be coming back and hopefully may coordinate future events here! read more

We just wanted to give a huge shoutout to 7th West for creating such a dope space filled with so much light, energy & fun while still making us feel safe with their covid protocols. And an even bigger shoutout to the homies who work there Zollie & Robert who both goes hella above and beyond in what they do! Zollie made sure we were having a good time from the moment we got there, and even checked in at our table a few times throughout the night to make sure we were still good. Robert (the best bouncer I ever met!) really looked out for me like a real one with a parking situation I was having. All the staff were also so on point--from the tasty af food to the quick service and them dranks boy! The bartender, cooks & servers knows exactly wassup lol 7th West Management: If anyone deserves a raise/promotion, please take care of these two phenomenal gentlemen Zollie & Robert. Our team was so impressed by there level of customer service and beautiful souls that we just had to write this 5 star review for them. Thank you 7th W homies for taking care of us, and we look forward to continue supporting y'all and brining our people back for more soon! read more

Not enough bartenders and it's hot as he'll inside. Their "rules" won't allow them to open the side or front door for air flow/ circulation. Stupid! Change your dumb rules or get locking screen doors. And hire more bartenders when you have events. read more

Yes, Yes, YESSS!!! 7TH West has been what I've been looking for my whole life--YOU da one, baybee! So tell me, what do you get when you put Oakland's Kevin P. from The Overlook, Pancho K. from The Hatch and Donna S. from Brinkman all in one room to come up with a business? You get an expansive, 8000 square foot bar called 7th West!! These three masterminds opened up a huge community space filled with tons of arcade games, food, large screen TV's, drinks and a large outside area with a small dog park; that's not only family-friendly but is dog-friendly during the day and is crackin' during the night for us late-night lovers! For my birthday this year, I was persistent in going to 7th West to check it out. I kindly waited until they got their kinks out and decided to come once they launched their Happy Hour. I reached out to the business and was able to check in with Kevin (Big shout out to Kevin, his customer service was phenomenal! He responds SO quickly; good looking out, Kevin!) Walking in the area, you would think this is an abandoned building, or what used to be a car shop--however, don't let the good looks fool you. The outside of the building is wrapped in amazing colorful artwork--you can't help but stop and take it all in. Once you walk in, you will quickly notice the huge open space and...THE ARCADE GAMES! 7th West will make you feel like you are an extremely big kid. There is something for EVERYONE! The outside is HUGEE. Perfect for large group parties; I also peaked that they have an option to host a bar area outside. I can definitely see the outside back area a GREAT spot for summer Day Parties?! **Hint Hint* Let's not forget the tasty food they have! Filipino food, baybee! Everything from Lumpia to those phuckin' delicious ol' tater tots! Still undecided on if this is a place for you? Here are five more reasons you shouldn't sleep on 7th West: * Come to enjoy the music and the crowd! * The drinks are FAB! Bartenders are the SH!T! * Bring your fur-babies and come to have a great time! * Be on the lookout for the day events that they have going on! * When you get too buzzed--Walk down the street to the West Oakland BART Station read more

I am really loving this bar. They are located right by West Oakland Bart. Parking can be a bit tough and sketchy but once you get parked mosey on in and have a seat. At the entrance they have a great little Filipino restaurant that takes orders for the bar. The food is pretty good and fairly reasonable. The interior of this place is huge. They have games lined up all along the wall. So if you want a little stress relief go put those dollars in the change machine and play a few games. They also have a movies projecting in the wall. The bar staff is super friendly. The drinks are reasonably priced and poured just right. I believe it's also pet friendly the doggies just have to be out back. Don't get discouraged because the outdoor patio is pretty large and swank. U definitely recommend stopping here and giving that place a try. read more

This place is brand new, but already has flavor. The owners each have successful Oakland business'. So, they lost their virginity else-where. The video/pinball games are a nice touch. The beer served in an ice cold glass, and solid Pilipino phood are both bonus. They're just getting started with their very large outdoor space, but you can see the night dance party is just beginning. Be Here. read more

Need a snack and a drink? Feel like playing a game or dancing? Well 7th West is the place! It's like filipino lumpia heaven; and a nice watering hole for your weekly alcoholic binge. Along with some old school video games to bring back a nostalgic time warp to when things were fun and simple. And a Dj playin all the eclectic funky music you need to hear to turn up on a Tuesday. And the best part is it's walking distance from my house! read more

Fun throwback vibe with awesome 90s hip hop beats & arcade games that we all enjoyed growing up! Extremely spacious & even moreso in their patio, featuring dope art murals on the wall & vibrant lights. Would've enjoyed more if NBA Jam didn't eat my coins. But will definitely be back! Conveniently located near West Oakland BART. read more

Great vibes, friendly staff and unique industrial space. I'm excited to have a POC owned bar in the Lower Bottoms neighborhood. Obviously, a new bar like this in West Oakland brings some heavy baggage. There have been some positive and some not so positive changes in this community the last few years, so I'm excited to see a space that aims to be inclusive and provides an outlet from the daily grind for everyone. Bars, restaurants, music venues, etc. will inevitably come to this neighborhood at some point however my hope is that owners have a deep understanding and appreciation for this neighborhood's past and present. There's a sense of respect and responsibility that comes with opening an establishment like this as well as ensuring that long time residents are included in the planning. From what I've read, the folks behind 7thWest seem to be on the right track so I'm optimistic this spot will have staying power and work with/for the community. As for the venue itself, this place offers delicious Filipino food, solid music, arcade & board games, video projectors, dope murals, a vast outdoor space and decent beer list. It's less than a 10 minute walk from Bart although not the most scenic of walks (just being candid). Their cocktail game could use some improvement- the margarita seemed off but maybe it was just me. I want this place to succeed and look forward to seeing the outdoor space become even better over the next few months. It felt a little underutilized. Overall, I highly recommend it- just be patient with them while they figure it out! read more

I was first here for an event and 7th West is a great new bar and event space in West Oakland. Lots of outdoor and indoor seating with a ton of arcade games with many that are only a quarter. A few blocks from West Oakland Bart and when I went there were lots of parking on 7th St. On my second visit, I tried the food which is from Jeepney Guy whom I've seen at Off the Grid. The lechon plate was perfection, the meat was juicy and flavorful and the skin was magically light and crispy. I'll definitely come back for the food and to relax with a few drinks. read more

What's not to love about this place. Local underdog started POC ran business that invested lots of time and love into their venue!. They support the community of Oakland, the arts, music, and all cultures! They had amazing day and night time events! Trivia nights, karaoke nights, video game tournaments. Hosted events for Oakland youth, pride, and select private events! Not to mention they have some pretty amazing food! Ranging from Filipino to fried chicken and everything in between. They've supported their staff during COVID and tried to remain as open as possible following all guidelines throughout quarantine. If you want to have a quiet night out, host an event, take a dog on a walk, or just hang out and talk to pancho. This is the place to do it. read more

This is by far one of those hidden gems that everyone should know about! Located a block away from West Oakland Bart, with tons of street parking if you're driving your own car. The staff was supper nice and the Jeepeny guy kitchen was so clean that you could eat off the floor(don't do it though). The Mochiko Chicken Nuggets (Boneless chicken thighs with coconut milk batter and special dipping sauce) and the Lechon(Roasted Pork Belly Lechon with crispy skin)Rice plate with cabbage and kale slaw was so good that I had a hard time sharing with my friend. Let's not forget about the condiments station. Just take a little cup of each one as vinegar and that sugary ketchup will compliment your meal. I will say, by far, this place has one of the best Lechon I have had in the bay! It's the perfect crispy crunchiness that you always look for in Filipino food. The only reason I did not give them 5 stars was because of the technology (technical difficulties) for their display screen so the chef ‍ had to explain each item, as well as they did not have everything on the website menu on this particular day. If you are looking for some great Filipino food, in a relaxed atmosphere with an outside seating are and video games, then this is the place to kick it! Just make sure you tell them that I sent you! read more

Cool spot! My friend's used to work with the owners so we kinda got a lil special treatment, but its a really cool spot. So here are the plus items 1) large indoor area 2) great staff 3) arcade games! 4) usually music, large screen for movies and DJ 5) large outdoor area with patio seating, lights, cornhole 6) fur baby friendly There are no bad things about this place, except the other night it was Halloween party and we got charged to get in, I'm too old to be paying for cover. On to the food... I liked that there's different foods, the one time we went there was Filipino food... the Lechon was really good... I could have done without the rice and slaw and its a bit over priced, but food truck food so nothing you can really do about that. read more
