Sessions on the Bay is such a vibe. From the moment you walk in, the experience feels unique. You…read moreactually enter through the dispensary first, where you can browse and pick up your favorites before making your way upstairs to the lounge. It almost feels like you're walking into a speakeasy as you pass through this cool market-style space, then down a hallway lined with awesome artwork and classic Hollywood movie posters with a stoner twist before arriving upstairs.
Once you're in the lounge, the vibes are immaculate. The décor is trendy, the wall art is incredible, and when I went, the DJ was absolutely killing it. I was Shazaming song after song because the playlist was that good.
The service was fantastic from start to finish. Our hostess seated us right away, everyone was attentive, and the staff made the whole experience feel welcoming. Word of advice, get a reservation! You won't have to wait.
The food was honestly better than I expected. If you go, you HAVE to order the Ahi Tuna Crispy Waffle. It was incredibly fresh, and the sweetness of the mango tied everything together perfectly. I also ordered the Wake & Bake Espresso which was delicious.
One thing I really appreciated is that although I don't smoke, I never felt out of place. My friends were able to enjoy smoking at the table, and you can even order products to be brought upstairs (the upstairs selection is a bit smaller than what's available in the dispensary below, but it's still super convenient). As someone who doesn't consume THC, I was a little nervous about ordering a cocktail since they're served with a THC additive. Thankfully, the additive comes separately on the side, so you have complete control over whether you use it. I simply handed mine to a friend, and it completely took the pressure off.
There is a $10 lounge cover, which I think is totally reasonable for the experience. If I remember correctly, it's waived with a dispensary purchase of $50 or more.
Overall, Sessions on the Bay does an amazing job creating a space that's welcoming for everyone. Whether you're a regular cannabis consumer or you're simply there for the atmosphere, great food, drinks, music, and company, it's an awesome place to spend an evening. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending it to both my friends who partake and the ones who don't.
