    Ok, I see you Oakland! Love all of the new-ish spots that are coming up in the Town, with Lucy Blue being one of them. Located right next to the Fox, Lucy Blue is an awesome vibe. The space has transformed to something beautiful, such a vibrant atmosphere. The staff were so kind, and the patrons seemed happy to be there. A cool spot to kick it with a cocktail, grab some pre-dinner snacks or a full meal, and looks like there's a private event space upstairs. We ordered drinks only, but we were eyeing the catfish bao buns, black-eyed pea hummus, and the warm collard dip for our next trip. Also the oxtail arancini sounds delish too. The day we came in there was a Kentucky Derby Party with lotsa fun hats and fits. Checking their event calendar, looks like they have music on specific nights too. We took a ride-share because parking is congested downtown, but there are metered lots nearby. Can't wait to roll through again soon!

    Wanted a nice cocktail lounge with creative cocktails and this fit the bill. Tropical, chic vibes with mood lighting. We got there around 8:30 PM on a Thursday night and there was still plenty of seating. We wanted to see what the upstairs area was like, but for some reason, we weren't allowed upstairs, so opted for some booth seating in the back. We had some cocktails and shared the Warm Caramel Rice Krispy Treat. I didn't expect much, but the rice krispy treat was actually quite good: tasted like it was homemade. The cocktails were innovative, varied, and well-balanced. One of my friends got one of the spicy drinks and the spice level was just right and not too overpowering. Service was great, but the glasses they gave us initially looked like they had lip marks on them. We asked them to replace it and they did. Would love to come back for not just the cocktails, but their food too another time.

    We came on a Friday night around 8:30. It wasn't too crowded and we snagged a corner table next to the dj booth. It got very crowded soon after. The drinks were phenomenal. The Temescal-ada was my favorite. The Boozy Affogato was also incredible. My friend really enjoyed the Margarita, and she has had margaritas all over the Bay. All of the food was good, but the best was the Elote Hushpuppies (perfect texture, and delicious flavor), the Catfish Bao Buns (lightly fried, seasoned well, delicious sauce, and perfect amount of heat), and the truffle deviled eggs (piled high, truffle is good but not over-powering, smoked trout roe is the perfect touch). The servers were very nice, even though they were clearly overwhelmed. We had a great time and will definitely be back!

    I had my Galentines event here Coordinating with Melanie was very easy and seamless. Everything was explained and communicated very well When I arrived Melanie was expecting me and took me to our reserved area We all had a great time here. Drinks are good and appetizers are great My favorite for sure was the Catfish Bao buns definitely a 10/10!! Fries are also very good, freshly made and well seasoned Customer service is awesome, the servers checked on us frequently and were always very nice and courteous The venue is clean and nicely decorated I would definitely come back here for a light dinner and or drinks Only draw back is that parking can be hard to find Luckily I was able to find parking across the street but some of my guests had to park 2 blocks away There is a dress code here and I appreciated that and we all respected it Refreshing to be in a venue that requires their patrons to dress and behave accordingly

    This place is much bigger than you'd expect. Even though there's plenty of seating, it somehow still feels impossible to find a spot. They don't take reservations, which makes planning your night tricky unless this is your first stop. Once people get a table, they tend to stay for hours, so your chances of snagging one after 9 p.m. are pretty slim. The interior is beautiful, and they do offer a small bites menu. The crowd definitely skews older mostly late 30s to 60s. The dress code also isn't nearly as strict as it's made out to be; I saw plenty of ripped jeans and baseball hats. Overall, I love the vibe they're going for everyone seemed to be having a great time, with no drama at all.

    Came to Lucy Blue on a Saturday night out with my girls. This is such a sexy spot! The place is beautiful inside, definitely a good vibe for a date night or girls night out. The service was quick and our waiter was really sweet. Will definitely be visiting this spot again.

    I came back to Lucy Blue after a comedy show down the street. We had a couple of appetizers, it was my first time having the lamb chops. They were very good. To drink I had the Temescal-ada (?) it was different, I liked the color! The taste was ok. The servers were attentive and offered suggestions regarding the menu. I like this space, each time I've been here it's been a nice crowd, with a good vibe! Cheers

    Black owned restaurants! We were invited out to meet at Lucy Blue at 6pm we arrived and the Hostess greeted us and told us how it works! Quite simply find seating for us and our friends right away. The place has several rooms including upstairs and groin level. The Warriors were about to play and they had TVS above the bar. Once seated the server immediately immersed us into the service and setup! I started with water and a Kenyan Lager. My wife had a sweet and savory drink that she enjoyed as well! The appetizers were amazing! We had the sliders made to order! We also really enjoyed the oxtails which were stuffed in a sort of muffin! The most outstanding dishes for me were the Lamb Chops and the Birds in a cage(Fried Quail! I would highly recommend Lucy Blue and would gladly look forward to going again soon!

    Came here on a Sat night around 6, and the place was bustling! I've always loved the old Duende space, so it was nice to see it preserved. The lighting, the wood, the warm furniture created a sophisticated vibe, and made everyone look classy. Appreciated that the music wasn't too loud, and didn't compete with our conversation. I'm not sure if they take reservations. They did have a private party reserved in the back room, so maybe for large groups. They have an open seating policy. The hostess gives you a menu at door, and you're on your own! We sat at the bar. (Gotta give props to the comfy bar stool! My middle aged friends and I love a good lumbar support haha! But I digress.) The bartender was very attentive, and took our order quickly. The menu was a twist on soul food, and done well! We ordered catfish bao buns (tasty!), oxtail arancini (Is it arancini or meatballs? Wasn't my fave,) and call us basic, fries (honestly, the best fries I've had!) For drinks, we had chef's martini (a dirty martini) and Jade Moon, which were both excellent. All the food and drinks were delivered quickly, which I really appreciated. By around 8, the place was pretty packed! It was really nice to see so many people out in Uptown. Def recommend as a place to catch up with friends, or for date night!

    Food was really good and there is nothing anti black about this place Oxtail Arancini were 5/5 I wish they were bigger and more in an order Ideal place for a small meeting drinks and apps The Catfish was good in not a fan of bao buns but fish was good Collard dip 5/5 The biscuits were underwhelming Drinks were good Vic made at least one of our drinks and it was perfect Service was decent one server seemed a little bothered but overall they were attentive The ambiance is dark so if you wear glasses don't try to be cute and leave them your able to have a conversation with out yelling

    We visited Lucy Blue on their opening weekend and absolutely loved it. Their food menu is small for now, but everything we had was fantastic. Their cocktail menu is tropical and balanced, and I loved all the drinks I had and can't wait to go to try the rest. We had the wasabi deviled eggs, oxtail arancini and lamb chops. Though a bit pricey, the lamb chops were cooked to perfection. The deviled eggs with wasabi was a delicious twist to a classic bar bite and the arancinis were moist with a good bit of oxtail inside. Since I love tropical cocktails, this menu was right up my alley. I don't recall the names but I got a pisco cocktail and then a matcha gin cocktail which were both amazing. My boyfriend doesn't love the tropical drinks as much so they were happy to make him a classic drink off the menu which he really enjoyed as well. I can't wait to come back here and look forward to when they expand their food menu!

    Lucy Blue should now be Oakland's premier location for an elevated social experience. The service was warm and welcoming from the security to the service team, everyone was attentive and had a great demeanor. The reimagined space blew me away. What was formerly Duende is now this lovely marriage of airy, open, free flowing space that allows for folks to sit, stand, or wander the two story space with a cocktail in hand. They mastered the dark and romantic design with high ceilings complimented by tasteful light fixtures to illuminate the space and lush greenery, and textile for every architect/interior designers dream. We were glad to snag a seat at the bar but there was plenty of seating or standing options available. The cocktails were made with fresh fruit right before our eyes. You can taste the difference! We ordered fries (fresh, light, crispy, well seasoned) but all of the small bites seemed like delicious options. We arrived on the earlier side but it began to fill up quite a bit as we approached 10pm. There was an entire second floor that we did not get to explore. We found parking nearby at the Hot Boys food spot and walked over. It was a beautiful night in Oakland. So we look forward to returning to Lucy Blue -- overall 10/10 absolutely exquisite, hot new venue for lounge lovers!

I ordered moonglow not knowing it's a very intense drink, so had to order actual proof as backup. They're very accommodating and can make any drink sweeter, so I opted for that. Actual proof is very refreshing with a nice citrus flavor! It seemed to be a popular drink since other folks also ordered it. Moonglow has a lot of complexity to it, and it's concentrated (no ice). Lucky spring was very citrus forward with some bitter notes, but we couldn't taste the guava. We also got free pretzels to munch on! This spot makes great cocktails and they also have a sister bar and restaurant called golden palm nearby. Worth trying this spot for good vibes and delicious drinks!

Tallboy's martini menu is well-executed. While I didn't personally try one of the slushies, a friend ordered the espresso martini version and gave it a solid thumbs-up. Unfortunately, the experience falls apart when it comes to food and service. Waiting 30+ minutes for two hot dogs (after paying) is hard to justify. When I checked in with a server, she was curt and dismissive. She was quick to explain there was only one person in the kitchen, with no effort to offer a solution, timeline, or even basic courtesy. I understand staffing issues happen. However, customer service is a close second to concept. How an issue is communicated and addressed is what separates good service from bad. What's more frustrating is that these aren't customer problems to absorb. If the kitchen is understaffed, if tables aren't being cleared in a timely manner at a seat-yourself spot, those are management problems. Guests should not have to choose to leave without the food we paid for. There's a lot of competition out there, and concepts alone aren't enough to bring people back. I genuinely wanted that hot dog. That's probably the most disappointing part of the whole experience. Great drinks, solid ambiance, but the service needs serious attention.
