Careful if you order a Hennessy sidecar because they won't tell you that it's Hennessy VSOP and it's going to cost $26/drink. Tried talking to them and they didn't care or acknowledge it. Asked the manager what skin wine was. She tried explaining it and really couldn't elaborate. Good service would have been just giving a taste. The place is beautiful and good vibes but the service can be improved to make it a better overall experience. read more

Great service. Food eclectic and worth it. Great cocktails. Came here late night once it was a PARTY!

Love this place, the vibe is dark and sexy. Amazing bites and well stocked bar. Our server Skylar was perfectly attentive, even late into the night and she really made our experience special. Will be back soon and often. read more

Definitely one of my new favorites in Oakland. It's great to have a grown and sexy vibe. Cocktails are great and creative. I love the elevated soul food dishes. The staff is absolutely amazing. I'm usually at the bar talking to wonderful new people. Looks like it could be amazing for a nice date night. I think there is a dj some nights, but I much prefer the earlier happy hour crew. Wishing them much success. This was definitely needed here! read more

Went for the first time to hear a live jazz set, It was Wonderful. Not too many places for live music within Oakland. Very Nice venue, great staff, beautiful decor read more

I had a great experience here! The vibe was lovely -- from the décor and lighting to the friendly service. The menu is small but thoughtful. We tried the cheddar biscuits and the elote hush puppies, along with a cocktail. Next time, I'll skip the biscuits (they weren't a hit for me), but the elote hush puppies were scrumptious -- so good we ordered a second round! I also had a cocktail called the Jade Moon -- gin, coconut honey, lemon, egg white, and matcha (matcha and gin?! Oh yeah -- it worked!) The drink was creative, balanced and the presentation was nice. As the evening went on, the place filled up a bit more, and I could tell it's a great spot to visit after 6 p.m. Overall, it's cute, cozy, and welcoming -- with great food, drinks, and service. Highly recommend! read more

To say Lucy Blue is a vibe is an understatement. From the moment you walk in, the space feels intentionally designed, visually stunning, tastefully decorated, and polished down to the details. Even the bathroom was spotless, which tells you everything about how much care they put into the guest experience. The layout is impressive, with two full bars and an upstairs area perfect for private dining or an elevated night out. It's versatile, great for casual hangouts but also classy enough for special occasions. The bartenders were not only skilled but also warm and welcoming. They guided us through the menu and made sure each drink was exactly what we wanted. We tried the White Cosmopolitan, Temescal-ada, Air Mail 75, and a Mule, every single cocktail was creative, balanced, and beautifully presented. These aren't just drinks; they're experiences. The food was just as thoughtful. We ordered:    *   Fries - crispy, flavorful, and addictive.    *   Oxtails Arancini - indulgent, with rich flavor, though the oxtails could've used just a little something extra to take them over the top.    *   Catfish Bao Buns - pillowy and packed with bold flavors.    *   Elote Hush Puppies - a fun, unexpected combo that worked really well together.    *   Lamb Chops - tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. Each dish felt curated, not random; there's real intention behind the menu. If I had one growth area, it would be the music. Being in Oakland and not playing a single R&B track is crazy. To truly appeal to a diverse and grown crowd, the music should represent more genres, especially ones that reflect the culture here. That said, Lucy Blue is exactly the kind of spot Oakland has been needing: classy, grown, and sexy with food and cocktails to match. I will absolutely be back. read more

The layout of this space is incredible. Good food options , great space for dinner drinks and good convos. drinks are good as well. 1st I went I got 2 old fashioned drinks . Very good , this last time I went they gave me a pre made margarita and it was horrible. Acid reflux 1 on 1. Please take that off the menu especially for 15dollars plus tip. read more

I was excited to try this newish " hotspot " I went yesterday on Monday evening around 7:30pm. I checked out the menu before I arrived and knew exactly what I wanted. I was disappointed that they were out of deviled eggs and it wasn't like the place was busy? I settled for the " lamb chops " which were mediocre at best definitely not worth the price, $36 after a small tip -service was mid too! 4 little overcooked lamb pops ( they should rename to pops not chops) & the taste was off. Could have made them better myself! I didn't have any cocktails however I would not go back here for food maybe just to have a cocktail with friends if that. Should've took a photo of how pathetic those " lamb chops " were but I was desperately hungry for protein so I just ate them and left!!! read more

I First Seen/Heard About Lucy Blue From BoozieBrunch's Instagram Page and I Was Intrigued, Then Today My Friend Mentioned It As A First Time Try For Us This Evening... The Ambiance Was Giving Grown & Sexy, Mature, Cozy Vibes. I Loved The Decor... The Waitresses Were Very Kind and Helpful and Was Sure To Check On Us. The Food Was Good, Their Garlic Fries Were The Best I've Had Thus Far, They Actually Seasoned The Fries! They Also Have VIP Sections You Can Reserve For Any Reason or Occasion and I Appreciate The Scan & Pay. I Recommend You All Go And Try It For Yourself, I'll Definitely Be Back. Thank You Lucy Blue! read more

I wish I could've stayed for longer, but I'm definitely looking forward to coming back. The menu looked amazing and I would love to try the whole thing. read more

We came here for Happy Hour and indeed we left very very happy! The Happy Hour menu was very reasonably priced. Our server was a friendly and attentive young man who was able to answer all of our questions about the menu and cocktails. We ordered all the small bites offered on the Happy Hour menu and we enjoyed it all, but especially the slightly spicy hushpuppies and the crispy fries. We also ordered the catfish bao that was off the regular menu and that hands down, was our favorite. Both our cocktails were delicious and beautifully presented. If you are coming here from SF, Lucy Blue is less than a block away from the BART station. I am looking forward to going back soon. read more

Immaculate vibes. Titus was our waiter and he was very attentive to our group. The drinks were nice and strong and the small bites were tasty. A great place to be out and be seen. I'd definitely come back. read more

I discovered Lucy Blue last night with a friend. I immediately loved the decor and the vibe. The bar stools were so comfy and I appreciated the purse hooks. The drinks were great - I had an Espresso Martini, and the bartender gave me a sample of a Paper Plane. The service was top notch! The bartender took so much care into making the drinks not only taste perfect but also look aesthetically pleasing. And before we left, he gave us a free shot and took one with us. I am definitely returning soon...maybe even become a regular! read more

Great ambience, great food and we had a great bartender, I believe his name is John, anyway, you'll know him by his mustache, lol! He was sweetheart and very attentive. The space is definitely for a more mature crowd, and I appreciate that! Enjoy the vibe, definitely order the lamb chops! read more

I went on Friday Night, it was packed, for most of the night we had to stand up, but the ambiance was lovely has a grown & sexy vibe. The service was somewhat slow but thats understandable for a newer business and I feel they definitely made up for it. The Manager was very attentive working the floor & running orders when needed, she was very pleasant as well. I ordered the Catfish Bao Buns, Fries, the chips & dip and drinks. The Bao buns were excellent zero complaints & I will definitely be back for that reason alone, the fries were hot & crispy, the dip was just ok it was a bit under-seasoned but not terrible so I see the potential, the drinks were good as well. It was an overall Great experience and I hope they do well and stick around. read more

Ambiance was awesome! The seating area was conducive for a large party. The oxtail balls were delicious as well as the sliders. The fries could feed a few people. read more

It was a nice evening with my friend. We probably ordered everything on the menu. The lamb chops were the best and the hush puppies. The cocktails were fire. The bartenders especially Andrew aka white bread was so cool and great energy. We really had a great time. They must work on their social media as google said they were closed. Therr wasmo phone number to call. The name is sexy. Give them a chance. They were out of a couple things oh and the biscuits were fire. read more

Food here is amazing, we pretty much ordered the whole menu. Some dishes were brilliant like the collard dip which was a spin on artichoke dip and fire. Also we recommend the duck and the crudo. The music was exceptional and the restaurant itself was beautiful. Not a lot of Black owned restaurants so this place is important to support as many folks of color are often denied the financial capital due to lack of equal access to build generation wealth. Out side of this, the place is just delicious and a fun setting to hang out, highly recommend. read more

Excellent food selections and service, Love the ambiance and vibe! Met friends after Shonda Scott's book signing ~"12 New Things to Embrace Change and Live Your Best Life Give Me A Year!
