Bland on top of bland. I was just here pre COVID and the food was right- great fried chicken and rice. This was terrible to say the least. Sorry, get your old cooks back who know Asian flavor and expectations for the customers. I'll only be back for the ambiance not the food! I even bought someone with me who hadn't been here and he hated the food. On top of the fact it's order by order and can't pay for everything's as u accumulate a tab. Terrible and taxed for every item separate. Sorry, I'll make sure I continue to have my computer in tow to get work done cause I sure will not be looking UP for cuisine or anything else. read more

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

I hella want to support this place but I left with a sour taste in my mouth. The bartender. Dude was simply rude, hella attitude for nothing. Just unhappy. Me and my friends watched him all night just being real rude. I get it, we all have our days--but damn?! I bought a round of margaritas for my girls and one spilled all over table as soon as I got there. So, I go back to get a refill (I assumed I had to pay for it ) the bartender approaches me and says with a nasty look on his face," I will only do this one time but I don't normally do this." He's rolling his eyes and everything. I'm buzzed and thinking if you're gonna be mad about it-shit then why give it to me?! I didn't ask for a free drink?! He assumed wrong. I was polite and smiled and said thank you very much and told him I really appreciate it and was genuinely thankful and walked away. The next day I look at my statement, I was charged for it! ‍ Just wanted to let him know if he's reading this, it's all good. I just don't appreciate the shade. read more

I've been here about three times now and I've had really good times here. The first time it was just for a few afternoon drinks with a co-worker and other times I came with friends to watch some NBA games. I like that they have an outdoor area to chill on those hotter days/nights and they have a bunch of fun old games to play too. They have some tasty Filipino food too - you really can't go wrong with the lumpia here. Finally the crowd is super diverse and most people here know how to handle their shit and just have a good time. The West Oakland BART station is not far away so if you're willing to brave the short but not-so-scenic walk over, then you should definitely check it out. read more

Awesome event space - spacious and secure. We went to a family event here with my 9 yr old and his friends. Both food and drinks are good and are ordered via QR code. While servers are friendly, they are slow when they are quiet busy. Make sure to order earlier in the evening. read more

I had the lumpia and chicken wings. Both orders were cold and I wasn't impressed either with the flavor profile. I was disappointed and won't return. read more

I really the ambiance! Great place to hang out with friends! They have coin operated video games, beer, dj playing, and goood food! I love how they serve Filipino food on the menu! (I'm biased because I'm Filipino myself) if I'm out with my friends in Oakland this would be one of the spots I'd go to get a drink with my friends! Overall good experience, highly recommend if you are in the area for drinks! read more

I have wanted check out this bar for awhile and when I was on BART, I decided to get off West Oakland and walk here. It's a short walking distance. This place is sooooooo big and I love the art! Even the bathroom has some pretty dope are in there. Great to look at when you're taking a deuce. Hehe I like bars that have outdoor seatings. There's plenty of space outside for you to sit. They also have a bunch of old school games like pinball and marvel vs capcom. I've only been here on days where it's super dead (aka, when they first open...lol). If you're petite/small, alone, and don't look like you 'fit in', I don't recommend walking around here by yourself....it seems kind of sketchy. :( read more

A star for the the vibes. If you have an event, it's great to host it here! I was very upset with their food. For one, I found hair (looked like men's hair.) I was super excited to have the Chicken Afritada (which is a chicken tomato stew), but it was just shredded plain chicken, sliced tomatoes, and 3 sliced potatoes. Not worth $15! Also, the parking is pretty sketch, so be careful of your surroundings. read more

7th West is a fun kick it spot! There's food, there's games, there's drinks and good vibes. Perfect for a chill night out, weekend wind down or turn up, and overall good time. read more

Location next to a homeless camp with a heart display that was only half lit. No bartenders. You have to order from a website and it doesn't allow you to put instructions like "add-ice" or "only a splash of coke". Entrance is still ridiculous where you have to sign up to prove you don't have covid. Still have to wear a mask even if its outdoor. Bathroom situation is awkward af with a weird shared closet room for men and women. The indoor spot was not utilized. read more

This was my first time at 7th West as I was meeting with a friend to celebrate her 29th birthday. Word of caution--if you are planning a celebration get there early so you can grab a table!! My friend had no issues with getting a table as she arrived early enough, however, I didn't meet up with her until later on --BIG mistake, there was a line AND I REALLY HAD TO PEE!! In summary, I had to beg the security guy to let me go owe after he sent me to the gas station down the street and I was 2.5 seconds from going on myself! The line was so long and it didn't make any sense but thankfully--LUCKY--he finally let me go. There's two bathrooms, one is gender neutral (sort of): there's two urinals and one stall, and the other bathroom is one private bathroom. The bathrooms were clean, so that's always a plus! The staff was definitely taking COVID-19 precautions, they all wore masks, checked our temperature and made us all fill out a Google form upon entry stating we didn't have any symptoms. It made me feel more safe--Thats for sure. So, now I see why there was a line . So, I can definitely wait if it means being safe. Overall, ambience was cute! Decor was cute! It's definitely a cute little vibe for summer and outdoor gatherings. The arcade section and inside seemed closed, which I'm assuming is due to COVID. Definitely worth checking it out, only giving 3/5 stars because I really had to beg them multiple times to go to the bathroom while waiting in line . read more

When I heard if this place opening with Jeepney Guy, I was stoked to try it. I thought it would be an automatic win. I was REALLY disappointed. It was slightly difficult to find the location because there's no clear signage. I heard about the heart, so I looked for that. Parking in this street is a bit sketch; there was plenty of broken glass. Also, homeless encampment at the opposite end of the Street. The food window is directly inside the entrance, so when there's a line they are blocking the entrance... Maybe they should redirect the line? Or move the ordering window. It was 6:30 pm on a Saturday night and they're playing the Warriors game. Why are 3 items on the limited menu already out?! Lechon tho?! But fine I'll settle for something else... I didn't because of the bartender service and lack of seating. The bartender was slow and she only stayed in one spot. Also, as I was standing next to my boyfriend waiting for him to order for us. She skipped him and said ladies first... Umm, hello but I'm a lady and I've been standing here for 10 mins. She decided to take orders from 2 women who stepped up just 1 min before she even acknowledged us standing there waiting for service. Again, Saturday night at 6:30 pm with Warriors game playing, so why is there only 1 bartender? There are a few large tables and chairs, mixed matched. There seem to be more tables than chairs because there were several tables without chairs. So we decided to check the outdoor seating. It's so nice. Perfect place to chill if it's summer or you're a smoker... But there is no heat lamp and not enough furnishing to protect you from the elements during the Winter. Things I like: arcade feel, spacious venue, chill outdoor space, and Jeepney Guy food (usually). It has potential to do better. I want to like it and I might come by again. But the atmosphere seems to be a hit or miss and the service was a serious miss. read more

Loved chilling here for paranormal activity movie night!! The hosts were very friendly & responsive!! Good drinks at a decent price & AMAZING food. read more

Ended up at this spot during a Yelp event and was surprised by the aesthetics! Pretty cool spot. Really big inside with one bar, food and a bunch of games like pinball and racing. We didn't get to try the food because they were catering an event and unable to take any orders. Huge outdoor area with lots of seating and individual heaters at each table! read more

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

7th West is a repost since lst post was flagged, Yelp deleted it-implying it wasn't a lst hand experience. checked in today, found out i'm the Duke here. yep just being "invisible G"-no lst hand experience and a Duke to boot! 7th West is directly across from the Crucible. 7th West has no visible signage. look for the Crucible first, then plan accordingly. offerings: bar, game arcade, Jeepney Guy (Filipino) food, band area being assembled. Jeepney Guy (today's menu): Lechon, Vegan sisig, chicharone, lumpia eats: lumpia(5) -3 long cigaretto length meaty pieces of work. -delsih, not into greasier food now. leftovers: *7th West has long daily hours for the grill, bar, arcade. special events only during times posted, just fyi. -parking on weekend more accessible, local businesses closed. saw patrons leaving 7th West, could see that they had found parking. *unsure parking situation in evening. in daylight, parking easier seen .... -7th West sound area still being assembled, soft opening mode. -operating hours before coming. they are in flex, -nice potential space to stage events, etc. 3.5 stars (potential of 5 stars when everything is assembled). read more

Fire! I'll definitely be hosting my birthday here. It's huge and there's a patio in the back that's equally as large! Lots of arcade games and the food that's being catered is amazing. This place is owned by Filipinos and that's very rare! Loved the vibe! read more

7TH WEST - Filipino food!!!!! - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Oakland, California

Great bar/restaurant! However parking is sketchy and there's a big homeless encampment very close to the location. Pineapple cider was delicious and come for the LECHON. My god it was cooked to perfection and super flavorful. Jam to some music while munching down Lechon and beer. There's also classic arcade games and when I went most didn't work sadly. There's some pinball machines as well and I hope they have more arcades down the line. Bathroom were very strange- it was unisex and anyone who open the door can see the men urinals. You have to walk past the urinal to the toilet stall where women can go. So as a female, you need to pass by men peeing in the open in order to go to the stall. So awkward. read more

Woot woot!! So stoked for these Oakland locals launching their new community event space. Full bar inside and out. Jeepney Guy providing you with the delicious Filipino eats ask day, lunch and dinner. Calamansi Shandy is delicious. Lots of games inside. DJs. And tons of outdoor space. They built all the furniture in the space, and they're only just beginning. Can't wait to see where this space goes and can't wait until the next party! read more

A wonderful community bar and club that has been bringing life and activity into the community. Good drinks, great selection of arcade games, good food options, and always a full calender of fun events. Sometimes the cover charge is unnecessary and the drinks arent too cheap. read more

I usually LOVE this place pre-pandemic, so when things opened up, it was the first place I wanted to go. My date and I arrived at 5:30 and 6:00 respectively. We ordered at 6:05. They brought our drinks and then nothing else. By 7:10 everyone around us had their food and we still only had our drinks. We flagged down the staff and they said they were going to check. By 7:30 we still hadn't gotten our food. I tracked down the manager and explained that our food had been extremely late. They offered us more drinks while we waited, but by the time the food came we didn't have time to eat. $70 on a night out wasted on food we never got to eat. I'm not sure if I'd come back, but I'm sure my experience last night was not the greatest or even near mediocre. I always make it a point to spend money on businesses owned by Black and other marginalised groups, but in return I expect at least decent service. The one caveat: my date was really great and we decided to meet up next week to actually have a meal. read more

We found this gem tonight in west oakland. It is a kid friendly bar with outdoor and indoor areas. They pride themselves on not being a spot for techy people, and rather having a focus on bringing oakland folks together. They had a dj this evening and everyone in this place had a smile on their face! read more

Great addition to the neighborhood, that desperately needs a good spot like this! I was lucky enough to go to a pre-opening night here, and was totally impressed. It's a funky spot, right across from The Crucible, just 2 blocks from west Oakland BART. It's a big open warehouse, with video games, pinball, simple (but not just boring) drink selections and great philipino inspired food. Lots of room for events, DJ's and more. And then a huge outdoor space! Massive patio, dog friendly, and can fit tons of people. read more

Love love love this place! Came here one Saturday early on in the day around 1 pm. Grabbed some Filipino food with bae which included lumpia, chicharron, and veggie sisig which was all amazing. Then sat down at the bar to have a few drinks with our food. Everyone is so nice and really makes u feel welcomed. I've also been here for a nighttime event and the pinball machines are a really nice addition. Dope ass graffiti and art everywhere too. BRB HEADING THERE NOW ‍ read more

Love the vibe over here ! This is a pretty dope spot. I recommend checking it out. It's kid friendly and dog friendly as well ! Looks like they do nightly events here. I DJ'd here for a friend's birthday. That's how I learned of this spot. It's spacious, has an outdoor area. There's a full bar, they serve Filipino food (heeyyy) and they have an arcade with tons of pinball machines. I'm totally diggin' the growth in seeing within Oakland. It's right by West Oakland Bart. Parking might be tricky here on a weekend night so maybe Uber would be a good idea read more

I've alway seen this place while passing west Oakland Bart, Came here for my twin sisters 22 birthday on a Saturday night and we had a great time. I really like the feelz of this place. It's real laid back. They have old school arcade games, real good Filipino food that is reasonable priced. They have a dj & a full bar. I loved the art work in and outside the building from local artist. The backyard here at 7th West is set up really nice, it offers a lot of space with table & heaters also a outside bar. I'll definitely be back to hangout with I'm in the area. They are also 420 friendly too! at least I think.. no one told us to stop smoking our weed of course we were in the back yard :) read more

7TH WEST - The bathroom was my favorite piece of Art. - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Oakland, California

Any given day here is gonna be a good time, they have arcade games to choose from: several Pinball machines, & Marvel versus Capcom! Bomb filipino food, get the chicken adobo plate with lumpia. This place is poppin' pretty frequently, they have a DJ spinning R&B which gets me HYPED & Latinx beats too! They have a calendar online that's up to date weekly, which I live for, so you can come for reggae, salsa, open mic karaoke, & spoken word. Patio outside with plenty of space for large amounts of people. Beers, great selections, I had a Joker DRY Hard Cider & One Inch Punch-IPA. Take card at the bar, this visit I only had my debit on me, so I closed out then bought food before the kitchen closed which is later like 8ish, if you leave your card open at the bar just an FYI. read more

Food is delicious, wish the portions were more. The building and decor was interesting and different, it was nice to see a quality affordable restaurant located in an "uncomfortable" part of town. A bit challenging to find parking. Hopefully they will expand by accepting to-go orders over the phone and would have to-go boxes with those orders. Wishing this restaurant will continue to flourish and continue to have a positive impact in West Oakland. Great job to the owners/investors/employees who's willing to step up and make a positive impact in this town. Thank you...will continue to support you're restaurant when we're in town. God bless! read more

We were in the neighborhood at the Vet and stumbled upon this place. At the time they were only offered in person ordering. The wait was short the food was amazing and it's not often your favorite thing is Brussel Sprouts but they were damn good and I would highly recommend read more

Located a block away from the West Oakland Bart Station, on a vibrant street full of art in every corner, 7Th West serves all ages and welcomes pets as well. Come with a group after work to this establisment or enjoy a special night out with friends for a fun filled experience with food and games. This is an excelent place where you can sit back and enjoy a tasty beverage or scarf down some delicious filipino food from Jeepney Guy with culinary excellence at amazing prices! I would also highly recommend this place to any company wanting to host a private event or even a place for happy hour. If I could rate this place with a 6 star, I would!! read more

Great venue. Beautiful & spacious. So happy they are in West Oakland. The bartenders are so nice. Plus it's dog friendly !

Found this venue on Eventbrite while looking for a free party yesterday. If I could give this place negative review I would, however the 1 star saving grace was the music and the food. First of all the staff was RUDE, especially the bartenders. They were super unwelcoming, no smiles, no warm greetings, and unprofessional attitudes. My friend ordered a round of drinks, and as she was signing one bartender said "that's not including tip". We looked at each other like what the hell is he implying? That we were NOT gonna tip? Just straight up rude. The location and venue itself was super sketchy. Driving there took us on a route where we pretty much drove through a homeless encampent. The venue has an outside which looks great for summer, but inside it was freezing cold. Yesterday was 35 degrees and they had 3 doors open keeping it super chilly inside that cold slab of concrete. The 2 tiny bathrooms were smelly and filthy. I wonder what happens when that place is super packed with such limited facilities? Anyway, the worst part of the night was that the venue decided they wanted to close early? We we're waiting for our other friends to arrive but they started turning on the lights around 11PM. People were dancing and having fun and the security guard in the front walked up to us and said "so we're closing, you need to leave". RUDE. Hard pass on this place in the future. read more

Awesome third space. They definitely deserve a follow with so many different events going on. Food is better than expected and fair in pricing. read more

7th west has the best fried Brussels sprouts in the bay #fightme ! Their safety procedures were really assuring, tables were spaced out, and so many beautiful murals everywhere! Def a go-to when I'm in Oakland. read more

Was very impressed as soon as I walked up-they habe security taking temperatures and you fill out a form to show you agreed to their COVID policies, I really liked how they are doing that. They have a decent amount of outdoor seats that are spread apart. You easily order from your phone. My friend and I ordered margaritas, which didn't really taste that strong for the small amount that we received. We ordered some food, I got chicken lumpia and she got the fish tacos. I enjoyed my lumpia other than the fact that one of them was entirely missing meat. Other than that, I really enjoyed my time there. It had a nice ambiance and they have a big screen set up to watch games. And if you're a beer lover, they have a nice selection of beers along with big beer towers you can get. They also have nice happy hour specials that include wings and drinks. I would go back again for some beers and snacks read more

Drop some more booze in them drinks mane. Shit made me sober instead of turnt. I was tryna get a dui that day too. Hahahaha

I like going to get some ALE. N on every 3 Friday they have live music cumbias yasss I love it! read more

Wow, what an awesome space! I came here for the launch party Salbahe, last Saturday and it was POPPING! The venue is just one block away from the BART station, making it super easy to access from the City. There's also a Jeepney Guy kitchen serving up super tasty Filipino food (try the chicharon!!). Overall, this place has a great vibe and I'm excited to attend more events here. read more

The place was pretty cool. The arcade games were awesome and the chicken lumpia's were delicious, music is pretty good too. I read the reviews before going and they all raved about this place so my best friend and I decided to try it out. As I said, the food was good and the place was cool. What gives this place 3 stars is the bar service. So I get that it's a bar and you want to dance to the music and that's fine. Just don't ignore your customers. We waited for about 5-10 minutes for someone to even acknowledge us. I made eye contact with all three bartenders and all of them looked down and away. I even said "excuse me" to one of them and got ignored. What's even worse is that it wasn't even busy. Maybe 4 people sitting at the bar. Have fun while you work, there's nothing wrong with that. Just be present and help your customers. read more

This a great spot to have drinks and gather with your friends and family. A huge outdoor area, plenty for social distancing, and folks there are extra friendly. Hopefully, after this pandemic subsides they can return to those fun dancehall sessions or watch the dubs make it happen. read more

Sign said teacher discount, but there was no discount! Come to find out the "teacher" special was a regular special, and they were not sympathetic to Oakland teachers; during our strike. Mind you, our group of 7 teachers were on our way back from a rally! When asking and learning of this, the bartender had no sympathy, so I closed out immediately and didn't spend any more money there. FALSE, FARCE, & FAKE. Not cool trying to profit on a major political battle, and not come through! Leaves a bad taste in my mouth! read more
