    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Lumpia and Brisket Fries
    Folasadé O.

    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.

    Back seating area

    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

    Onion rings that were cold and mushy inside
    Antonella I.

    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.

    Tamarind Wings!

    Love 7TH West! Came across 7TH West through a friends recommendation and quick yelp search. Love the ambiance and beautiful art work! Cant go wrong with their wings, beer and lumpia.

    Huge spot to host an event, they got a full bar and plenty of parking outside. Plenty of Outdoor seating great music not too overbearing and friendly staff! Plus they have a Kehlani mural!!!!!

    So been living in Oakland for going on 15 years now. I'm not what you would call a "bar" person. I…read moretend to enjoy my cocktails, wine, and beer in the cozy confines of my own home. That said I'm occasionally inspired to go check out the local watering holes for a good pour, some food if possible, and just to be in the presence of the human pulsation. Walking into Tallboy on a Thursday afternoon was a bit like Nirvana for me. There is a comforting vibe of neighborhood and after work people shedding responsibility and "toe the lineness" and transitioning to pondering true meaning and the other side of the elliptical bend over nicely crafted cocktails and HOTDOGS! I am a hotdog fiend, and Tallboy has a very creative range on the menu that does not disappoint. From a basic onions/mustard, an Elote Dog, an a Coney Islandesque (it has chili) version. Some folk go to bar and line up shots (or craft cocktails). At Tallboy you can do that AND line up their hotdogs which I intend on doing in the very near future. The pleasantries don't stop at the food (there are other delicious snack items on their menu to choose from too). Tallboy has a fully stocked bar, and the menu has a list of really unique and delicious signature craft cocktails. I'm not a Mezcal drinker, but I ended up dubiously ordering their Guava Martini which to my smokey surprise is made with Mezcal. I stayed with the smokey fruitiness of this Guava Martini as it was my mistake that I did not read in the description it is made with Mezcal, and ended up chasing it with their Tamarindo Cocktail which also has Mezcal. To those who really enjoy Mezcal the Tallboy Guava Martini and the Tamarindo Cocktail do not disappoint. Both have that deep Smokey Mezcal essence, but cut with the fruit sweetness. I personally think the Tamarindo balances well with the Mezcal. The Guava Martini the Mezcal comes through stronger, but both are just the tonic to release any existential pinging going on in your head. If you really want to kick in the hyperdrive pair either of these with an Elote Dog. I had their Deli Dog which sufficed. I think the Deli Dog would pair better with their standard Martini, but hey let's us not bring that snobbiness into Tallboy. Tallboy has an element of cloak and dagger or secret treehouse club about it. What I mean here is there is no signage on the outside (please keep it that way!). When you walk past all you see is this quaint beigeish/yellow brick façade of an establishment which begs you to press your face to the glass and scan what in the blazes is going on in here! Before you know it you are caught in the Tallboy tractor beam, and you find yourself sitting at the bar with some kind of craft drank and hotdog pondering the space and the very nice old fashioned wainscoting painted a shade of green circa 1930 (my description of winning in life). The cadre of bartenders are all really pleasant folk, very attentive (checking in with you to see if you need another round, hotdog, or snack), have tight shaker skills, and they know their craft and the menu. Tallboy also has SLUSHIES, and I did not do a deep dive on them, but I'm positive they may/do put spirits in them; or not. Also I noticed other patrons with a beautiful enticing thing that looked like an ice cream sundae milkshake hybrid (it had what looked like whipped cream on top) in on old timey soda fountain ice cream goblet. This could be a craft cocktail they make with the slushie, but major props for serving it in that goblet. I will investigate on my next visit which I intend to be very soon. Tallboy is the kind of bar establishment I could easily adopt as my after work living room for a couple of hours everyday.

    Had an amazing experience at Tallboy!…read more Sat at the bar on a sunny weekend and immediately loved the vibes. Bartenders were friendly and seemed to know a lot of the regulars. Can't quite describe it but it didn't feel like an SF bar, felt more open and like a community watering whole. On to the food and drinks. I'm vegetarian so was so excited to try the dogs - which are vegan. And I may be biased but you cannot tell that you're missing out on anything with all the flavor packed combos. The bun was fluffy and soft and you have multiple fun themed options to choose from. My partner and I ended up getting the deli dog and truffle meltdown. Deli was perfect - classic mix of spice and crunch with the spicy brown mustard and giardiniera peppers. And the truffle meltdown was so savory and decadent - totally different flavor profiles from each dog! We were only going to grab one drink but the menu was so inventive we ended up getting two. I ordered the banana hammock (which comes with a fire show) and espresso martini slushee which was is up there with the frozen Irish coffees I've had in New Orleans. Man writing this has my mouth watering... definitely coming back for more dogs, drinks, and vibes!

I don't believe they have a food program besides some pastries. Would love to see some breakfast and lunch options offered; it would entice us to hang out even longer. Music is good and upbeat - definitely extra points from me on that. Pay attention to the leaflets/posters and other materials they have at the entrance and around the establishment, you might be pleasantly surprised at what you find. Last time we were in, I picked up a calendar of free classes on various highly useful skills, offered by a local organization. I highly recommend checking out the classes, and would have never found them if not for Mother Tongue. Open 7 to 7 daily, which is great. We'll be in again soon.

I really wanted to like this place. I'd walked by several times and loved the interior design, and the videos on Instagram made it seem like such a great spot. I stopped in one evening by myself, ordered a glass of wine and the warm olives (which were delicious), and was looking forward to a relaxing night. Unfortunately, the service was the biggest disappointment. The restaurant was packed, and the atmosphere felt more concerned with maintaining an image than making guests feel welcome. I understand some restaurants embrace a more reserved European style of service, but this came across as cold and pretentious rather than intentional hospitality. As a solo diner especially, I didn't feel acknowledged or valued as a guest. It also didn't help that the dining room had a noticeable body odor smell that took away from the experience. On a positive note, the bathroom was clean and beautifully designed. I originally thought this would become my go-to place to grab a glass of wine while waiting for a table at the ramen spot next door, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. Reading through other reviews, it seems I'm not the only one who had this impression. Oakland's charm has always been its people. You can open a French-inspired wine bar, but hospitality translates into every language. If you're going to bring a Parisian aesthetic to Oakland, don't mistake indifference for sophistication. Guests should leave feeling welcomed, not judged.
