    Really sad to have to update my review but this 1 star goes to the two bartenders in the back by the stage. I came here on Sunday after Pride with a group of friends. After paying a $10 cover charge, we went to the bar to grab drinks. My friend initially ordered 4 vodka sodas and a white claw which came out to $50+. Upon getting his credit card receipt he asked to buy an additional vodka soda for a friend who just pulled up. He was charge $23+ for ONE drink. When asked for the price change the bartender said "it's a double" & he responded "I didn't ask for a double." The bartender shrugged and said "it is what it is." Absolutely insane! The worst part was that it tasted exactly like a single. As it was my turn to buy drinks I went over to the bartender next to her instead. I ordered a whisky coke, vodka soda, & a white claw. I KNEW TO ASK FOR PRICE FIRST. The bartender calculated in her head & said $29. I handed her my card & tell me why I got a receipt for $43!!! Again, these bartenders are ringing everyone up for doubles! We absolutely will not be back & will not be recommending this place to anyone.

    The space is amazing! We are thinking of getting a quote to rent the space out for our parents anniversary party

    This review is two years old but never too late! First let me start by thanking Sean and Ritchie. Sean spent countless email messages with me ironing out the details. I added additional people and it was no problem. I'm a planner and can be pretty intense with insuring things go as planned without hiccups and of course I had a thousand questions and still, Sean's kindness never wavered. I met Ritchie the day of and he was so welcoming, the way we hugged and chatted you'd think we've met before. My kinda people. Ever sense I've been singing their praises. I've sent many people their way. The entire staff that day was great. The bartenders (see the video for the effects). They did not play with those drinks! The food? Muah! Chef's kiss. EVERYONE enjoyed their food. My party end up being about 10 people and we all almost all ordered different things. My steak and chimichurri sauce, eggs and potatoes was to die for. I still daydream about how the temperature of my steak was so perfect. I let folks try my steak, it was so good some ordered their own-aside from their other order lol I'm over due a visit. I pray my next experience is as well as the first.

    The food was great! Thankful for vegan options! Unfortunately order was forgotten so it came late and then my drink was wrong, other than that love the vibe!

    Nice venue! Came here for a birthday function. Space is nice and open with a bar and booth/ table seating area in the front half, with a stage / dance floor in the back end. The vibe of the establishment stuck to that "downtown" style, which I liked. Didn't get to see it but there's also a comedy club up in the 2nd floor too which sounds cool. Got to try most of their speciality drinks, as we had an open bar package for our event. Most of the drinks were strong, but they had a good variety of specialties. Food was good, standard bar food, but pricey ($30 for a medium pizza and order of fries + tip). Overall- 8/10. Staff were super nice and friendly. The bar and security lady that was watching the front were the best, special shoutout to them!

    Oakland is such a hub of diversity that it breaks pieces of my heart when neighborhood gay bars like Port Bar and Feelmore Social close. Even though it's louder than the venues we most prefer, Jamie W and I settled into this cavernous space on a late Sunday afternoon. Clearly the space is meant for more than drinking. We envisioned a lot of dancing and performing but not by us. We sat at a big banquette where we apparently just missed the last of the food orders. However, we did imbibe a couple of their $15 Spicy Margaritas which were on the lighter and sweeter side (photo: https://yelp.to/WSUSC1KZ_n). Meanwhile the urban music was getting louder, and now we know how Stella got her groove. It's owned by Richard Fuentes and Sean Sullivan, the same guys who owned Port Bar. COCKTAILS - 3 stars...just not potent enough for this venue AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...really big SERVICE - 3 stars...kinda takes them a while to notice you're here unless you make some noise TOTAL - 3 stars...glad to see this in downtown but I hope smaller bars pop up RELATED - Exploring Oakland?

    Came here on a Sunday evening for a comedy night which is located upstairs. This is a pretty big bar, club, and venue space. The comedy club is upstairs and usually comes with a 2 item minimum, which includes food. I got an espresso martini and my friend got a margarita. We ordered the pizza belly pizza that had pork and jalapeños. We also got their chicken wings (Parmesan and herb) with a side of fries and it was really good. Service was great, they have a huge dance floor on the main floor and large bar area downstairs. There are plenty of bathrooms. There's street parking not too far away and parking garages around the areas.

    Every time I'm in Oakland, I make a point to swing by FLUID510. It's one of those rare spots that keeps you guessing--in the best way possible. One day it's R&B dancing, the next it's a stand-up comedy set or a full-blown drag performance. It's not just a restaurant. It's not just a lounge. It's an experience. The energy shifts, but the hospitality never does. The staff is warm, welcoming, and many of them have been part of the vibe since day one. Whether you're grabbing dinner or stumbling into an unexpected dance lesson, FLUID510 always delivers something unforgettable.

    came here for an event. cute inside with lots of space. the drinks were really good too. good variety of cocktails and mocktails. they also have food. we got the grilled cheese and it was surprisingly really really good!

    The front of the restaurant conveniently located next door to the Lower Bottom Playaz (excellent company) theater.

    I ate the fries and had a beverage. The food was good. The service was good. The ambiance was like a night club because there were dance lessons happening.

    No spa for brunch go food good music good vibes

    This place is to fun and that's before the mimosas hit. Good brunch on the weekends with some trivia as well as good music service is great with friendly and attentive waiters.

After 30 more minutes, we finally received the text to come in. When we returned, Taylor didn't acknowledge us and told us to go to the back of the line. After showing her our text, she seated us. We noticed two open seats at the bar and asked if we could sit there. She said the bar was first come, first serve..yet moments later, she seated two walk-ins who had been behind us in line at those exact seats. The inconsistency and lack of hospitality made us feel completely disrespected. We were excited to finally get in, but ultimately decided to leave. Such a bummer!!

I am not much of drinking the Henny. All their cocktails have exactly that. The only one that looked appealing to me was the expresso martini. The service could be a little more attentive. My friend and I were the only two people in the lounge at the time. We sat and waited for somebody to come by to ask what would I like to drink. It did not happen; thus, my friend had to go the bar and purchase the expresso martini. The expresso martini was smooth and mellow. The only time I had the Henny was years ago at a Chinese wedding banquet. I added some to the shark fin soup, which enhanced the flavor of the soup. Yes, I enjoyed the expresso martini. The atmosphere of the lounge is one of sophistication and upscale. Comfortable seating all around. Nice place to hang out, do some chillaxin' with friends. Rating: 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 stars.

    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.

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!

Incident: My party of 7 came to Mad Oak around 5pm on Monday evening, 7/20. I did not have my ID on hand as I didn't realize I needed it for entry. I was not planning to consume alcohol. The staff member in charge of the outdoor entry let me in anyway after a little bit of friendly back and forth. One of our friends arrived later and similarly did not have their ID. The same staff member turned them away very rudely and dismissively. I went over to the staff member to let him know that our friend was with us and I also did not have my ID. He responded very rudely despite all members of our party being very respectful. He replied me saying, "What did I tell her?! What did I tell her?!", without explanation. Our friend who was turned away identifies as they/them and without explanation from the staff member, and inconsistent application of rules pertaining to ID, I suspect it might have been a situation where our friend was unfairly discriminated against for their appearance. To sum it up, it was not clear that IDs were required for entry otherwise I would have prepared my party ahead of time; the staff member inconsistently applied an already unclear rule; he did not explain why one guest was allowed and not another, even in the same party; and lastly, he was unnecessarily rude. Our whole party ended up leaving Mad Oak to go somewhere we could all be together. In my outreach to the restaurant a couple days later, I asked for a response to let me know that they have addressed the issue and there has been no response to date.
