We made the mistake of buying tickets to their supposed New Year's event. Not only were these tickets a completely unnecessary waste of money as no one even checked them, but the experience itself was terrible. There was literally one bartender making drinks SLOWLY for the lackluster crowd. The DJ was bad: bad choice of songs, bad mix no banter and the completely unenthusiastic countdown happened AFTER midnight. I wouldn't go back to this place on a dare. There was absolutely no food even though it was advertised as part of the "event". read more

Big, beautiful place, with a whole other space upstairs with (when I was there) stand-up comedians. Food and drinks served both places, though I didn't try the food. read more

Don't sleep on FLUID510's Happy Hour! I've been a regular here for awhile. The food is delicious, especially the truffle fries, shrimp sliders and meatballs! Love the drinks, but also the atmosphere and friendly staff. One of the best happy hour spots in Oakland! read more

Had an amazing time at FLUID510's RuPaul's Drag Race viewing party! The energy was electric, the queens were hilarious, and the crowd was loving every minute. The food was incredible, cocktails were yummy, and the service was super friendly. Perfect spot for a fun night out--and a great community to cheer on the queens and to see who gets the crown! read more

I came here for a comedy show and loved the ambiance, food, drinks, and service. I'd love to go back for music and dancing!

Loved the overall ambiance, service, vibe and decor of Fluid. They now have a new brunch menu that's tasty! The steak n eggs has truffle in the eggs and the chicken n waffles is pretty good as well. But what sets this off is the bottomless mimosas! Oakland needs more brunch options and Fluid is a perfect match for the need! Check this place out read more

Met up with a girlfriend for brunch. Cute space, plenty of open tables, good music. Service was a bit slow and our food came out at totally different times, almost like someone forgot to input my girls order... we also had the bottomless mimosas because, duh. First one was perfect but each subsequent mimosa tasted like juice. I had the breakfast sammy my girl the nacho fries with fruit both were decent but nothing worth rushing back for. read more

Alex was the bartender on duty when we went. He was sweet and friendly! There was another guy too who was serving and assisting Alex, also super nice, didn't get his name. He was telling me that they have a drag brunch coming up, sounds fun! We ordered wings and they come with seasoned truffle fries, yum! We asked for crispy wings and they were on point! I ordered bbq and my daughter had parmesan. It was a Sunday so not crowded. It's a cute space, big dance floor area and a private room for special events. Minus 1 star, restroom could've been freshened up and smelling like cleanser! read more

Came here for the Jush Sundays Drag Cabaret show and it was amazing! I've been to Port Bar many times and I know this place has the same owners so I knew it was going to be a really great experience and it totally was. I LOVED this set up, it's a really intimate cabaret show, you can get tickets online via Eventbrite or at the door, the door is cash only FYI. If you have tickets ahead of time you get first dibs on seats, my sister and I arrived a little after 9pm and got a table right by the stage. They have a late night eats food menu and they come and take drinks orders, it's was super nice! The show itself was amazing! It's hosted by the one and only meme queen herself Jasmine Masters and she's such a delight. She's super funny and interacts with everyone. The line up changes every week so take a look at who is coming, every Sunday there is at least one queen from RuPaul's Drag Race and a setting like this is PERFECT to see any Rugirl! I also appreciated that it started relatively on time and didn't run super late, it was a Sunday after all lol read more

Drinks and service were amazing, they kept stuff I had left at the bar this past weekend safe and I was able to get back. They made sure my friends and I were ok from being harassed out on the street before we got there. I will definitely be back for the spicy margarita and good vibes. read more

By far the BEST place for brunch and great vibes. No matter the event I can guarantee a positive inclusive atmosphere. Manny and Jaylin are the best bartender and their service is unmatched! They not only bring the fun energy but they are both very attentive and respectful. read more

Call me a tough critic but the food was average. Chicken was juicy but bland, mac n cheese somewhat dry, and flys/gnats everywhere. One flew in my husband's drink and got it replaced. The potatoes was good though. Service and ambiance was nice. Loved the music selection and atmosphere. However, this was one of those one & done for me. read more

My friends and I went here for the first time today for the Sunday drag brunch, before I get started the queens were AMAZING!!!! 10/10 show, crowd was fun and the ppl greeting us at the door were sweet, the person giving us wristband kept littering on the floor which was not cool BUT our server was terrible and neglected our whole table. We shared the table with 4 other people and they were very frustrated as well, our server was elashane and when she first greeted us she was very kind, but after ordering our drinks (3 shots &mimosa craft) 20 minutes passed by, we waved her down to ask about our drinks and told us it was the bars fault and they were copping attitude with her and our drinks should be out soon, she soon comes back with our three shots then after a bit with our mimosa craft and said she'll be right back with cups. She never came back with cups so we ended up just drinking our mimosas with our shot glasses cos we were sooo over it, especially bc we all noticed the other waitress was being so attentive to her section and they all had drinks coming out quick from beginning to end. (It was buffet style so all she had to take care of was our drinks) As a waitress myself it kills me to leave a bad review but it truly ruined our experience. read more

Really cool spot. Drag shows. Food. Nice bartender. Very queer positive, welcoming, and inclusive space. Drinks are good. Nice venue. Out of the bars in downtown Oakland near 12th and 19th street, Fluid510 is my go to. Very cool bar. read more

Food was great! But service was horrible. Music was way too loud for brunch. There was a trivia game going on, but it was super annoying to those not playing. Couldn't hear the people next me without yelling. Had to ask the server multiple times to bring silverware. Hint; scrambled eggs are NOT a finger food. Then I had to ask three times for the check. Maybe this just is the my kind of place for anything other than a to-go order. read more

I was super excited to come check this place out after hearing them on the news. Unfortunately my server didn't make a great impression. She not Only forgot to get our drinks but she also forgot about the food I ordered. Once I got my drinks everything went smoothly. Bartender was chill! read more

Crystal was an amazing bar tender and very attentive to our order. She made sure we got all our orders. I appreciate her. She' also had an amazing energy read more

Vibes were great! Music and food were great! Customer Service was amazing! I would highly recommend.

Love this place it's my new go to spot, their food is delicious I specially love their pizzas. The customer service is great the people are so nice! Support you local businesses read more

What a fabulous new spot! The vibe is inclusive. The drinks are next level. Service is 5 star!

Fluid 510 is the NEW spot! We arrived a little too late for brunch but the food looked great. Our server was in point with drinks and even provided us with a mini photo shoot. I'll definitely be back to get my brunch on. Great addition to Oakland! read more

Friendly bartenders, reasonable prices, and happy hour specials are great. The food and snacks are tasty. The lounge is large, but it feels very comfortable space. I am excited to go back. read more

I LOVE CRYSTAL!!! She made my bestfriends birthday spectacular!! Thank you so much I hope you to get you everytime I come here!!!

Food was delicious we ordered fries olives chicken dish & shrimp sliders no complaints everything was fresh & hot. Two male Employees sooooo nice & it was a vibe we will be back read more

Huge space. Major upgrade for the LGBTQ Oakland community. They have enough seating to do bottle service right. Lighting and decor are delightful. With two bars and a stage, this will be a spot to host major events in Oakland. Fluid has a ways to go to make the space comfortable. It was unnecessarily hot in the space for so few people. Bring a fan. Swings and trapeze from the ceiling but no fans or AC on. They also will serve brunch. It was beautiful gowns opening night. They will get it together. I'll be back! read more

I went on a Sunday, and there was a comedy show happening. The comedy was fun, and the comedians and host were funny. However, the bartender needs more experience. I left Fluid and went next door to another bar, I believe it's called Feels or Feelmore; now, that bartender knows how to make a cocktail! The ambiance at Fluid was cool. I probably would go back if there's a different bartender. read more

I attended this facility for a reserved event last night and I saw that everyone had no problem parking within a block and right in front after 6PM in particular. The staff was very professional and took away dirty dishes quickly so the table of food stayed looking nice. The food tasted fine although I only ate a few pieces of pizza. The ambiance was nice with interesting lighting of various colors from the ceiling and the room was slightly dim but they can probably set up various type of lighting. I was also happy to see that one of the guests was able to retrieve a very valuable misplaced item that was turned in and staff handed it over to a grateful guest. I was told by the guest of honor that this facility has been very accommodating and supportive of progressive events in the community. I hope they stay... I noticed that small groups of friends gathered after work and this is an IDEAL meeting place that has a very tasteful interior and friendly/professional staff. read more

The actual space is nice, but if you're willing to pay $20 for juice and water then go ahead. Don't let the African dude make you a drink cuz he's gonna add a bunch of water to your drink in your face. And the fake security guard with the fake grill is nothing but a B. Do not let her trick you into buying her a drink... please let this business die like The Port did. Nothing but low quality everything read more

We were celebrating two birthdays on a Sunday for brunch and the service was amazing! Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a place to have a good time with a DJ playing in the background. Crowd favorites were the vegan French toast and the truffle Benedict. The home potatoes were also so delicious! read more

Drinks and service where amazing, thank you Crystal for making the best Cocotini (a must have)

My experience with this club has been terrible . Me and a group of friends went to the club. They had an event for mimosas and branch. The guy at the door told us it was $45 each which includes anything on the menu. We say OK what the heck after paying and entering the club, we've got told by several different people, there they are serving food. They aren't serving food so we let him know there is no food on the menu so he refunded me. I took a screenshot of the system for proof and let him know that the digits on the card was not mine he told me That when you pay Apple Pay the number changes but that still was not My Number and he insist that it was so days and weeks later I contact Him regarding this matter and he keeps telling me the same thing give it sometime the transaction was refunded immediately It shouldn't have post to my account And I keep calling him showing him proof that that's not my card number and I haven't received my refund I paid for three people that was $135 and have not received my refund. I spoke to Him several times still not getting anywhere. This is becoming very frustrating that I have to come to yelp to get my point across And to try to speak to someone that's higher than him to get this resolved read more

Very pleasant nice and bar . Great staff . Good vibes . Truffle fries are . Good area ;very convenient

Food was great. Ambiance great. Bartenders great. We ordered food and planned to go to the show after but we had arrived an hour earlier and hadn't paid at the point though we planned to. We wanted to finish eating the food and drinks we paid for first and kindly asked for that. It was clear upper management was so paranoid we weren't going to pay that he made the security guard escort us to paying or risk leaving. We asked if we could finish eating the food, and they said no. We left one friend with our food and drinks and the security guard gave them a really hard time for doing so. Why would anyone leave their drinks and food with a stranger? After spending so much money it's so strange to treat people with such disrespect. We did end up paying (as planned) and tried to enjoy ourselves but it was a really weird vibe. Not sure that I'm coming back. Please be kinder. read more

This place has amazing DJs extremely friending Staff and ablsolutly hilarious security. The dance floor is massive and even though there isnt much for parking its still worth a visit. The drinks are made with care. Did I mention the great DJs they cant play a bad song the vibe is lit every weekend. read more

One of the better happy hours in Oakland food and drink, great bartenders, event space is great too!

The vibe was great, I do wish they had a gender neutral bathroom though, especially considering the community they're serving. Other than that, great bar: read more
