I've been coming here on and off for years with my two friends whenever they want to celebrate…read moresomething. Personally, this bar wouldn't make my top 50 list, but for some crazy reason they're loyal to it, so I show up for them. Recently, I've popped in a bit more and wow, the "changes." They finally made an Instagram, which got me excited for a second--maybe they were stepping it up. Nope. Just like everything else here, it's inconsistent. They post food specials, I come in ready to spend money, and... no food. Overheard it was a management issue. Shocking. Then there's the alcohol selection--or lack thereof. I'm not even a big drinker, and I have a better bar setup at home. Half the time they're out of basics, or waiting on the owner to maybe, someday, bring more. Call yourself a bar? More like BYOB and hope for the best. I'll give credit where it's due: I've met some cool people here, and they're the only thing keeping this place alive. But even they seem tired of the chaos. I heard this is the oldest bar in San Leandro, and honestly, I'm amazed it's still standing. Must be sheer luck or nostalgia, because it's definitely not management. Two stars because I don't hate the regulars--but let's be real, if this place wants to survive, it needs way more than an Instagram and a prayer.

I was heading to BART when I heard some pretty funky music so I stopped in LUX Oakland. The band…read morewas great with a unique but very easy sound that started with a story and moved into an irresistible groove. Bar service was polite and beer selection was minimal but cold.

We came on a Friday evening expecting a fun dance club to dance the night away, as the marketing…read morefor this place promised dancing at 10pm. Instead, there was a super lame comedy show with various incredibly lame misogynistic comedian-wannabes, including one who would not shut about about "B*tches in Los Angeles." Dude, why are you calling women b*tches? And we're in Oakland, we're not gonna care about Los Angeles and the culture there. Most people were just sitting around on their phones. We felt misled and scammed. We decided to bounce after about 20 minutes there, and will seek a refund. They take Venmo as payment, so gonna have to dispute through Venmo. It's kind of shady that they request Venmo payment, and not, ya know, credit card payment like any other vendor.

Doesn't know how to read a room...he'll play a few good songs for 20 seconds and then switch it up as soon as everyone is having fun. Try making a song request... it's a joke .. You'll see. Hope you like reggaeton and 20 seconds of good songs lol! I'm still rating a 5 because I know they will fix this problem, but my friends and I are going to skip the next few Saturdays for now.

Tonight was my first night returning to this bar since losing Drew, who held karaoke nights here…read moreand made so many people including myself feel welcomed, accepted, encouraged, and genuinely seen. He created a space where people felt safe to express themselves and enjoy music without feeling judged. Coming back tonight was already emotionally difficult for me because I am still grieving his loss heavily. I became emotional while trying to explain how much Drew meant to me and how some of the interactions that night made me feel dismissed and unwelcome during a vulnerable moment. I also want to respectfully mention that certain details surrounding Drew's passing did not need to be repeatedly brought up in conversation. I understand no harm may have been intended, but hearing those details spoken about so openly was deeply upsetting and emotionally difficult for me personally. I calmly approached the owner and said I wasn't trying to cause drama and simply wanted to express how hurt and unheard I felt. His response was, "I don't want drama," before walking away from me while I was crying and trying to explain myself. That moment honestly broke my heart even more. I completely understand businesses have rules, closing times, and boundaries. But when someone is grieving the loss of a person who helped create such a loving environment there, compassion and kindness matter deeply. Drew always made people feel like they could take up space and be themselves. I just wish my first experience returning after his passing had reflected even a fraction of the warmth and humanity he gave to others.
