I love the service of the bartender's and the overall bar experience was a vibe. It was a very modern but classic feel. All of the people were very friendly and the bartenders knew how to mix a drink right. This is definitely a place I will venture to again as this bar is tucked away in Downtown Oakland but once you're inside you definitely feel the love.

I got the Blue Hawaiian, a yummy classic, and it did not disappoint. Despite the cold front over the Bay Area this weekend, I instantly felt as if I'd teleported to Hawai'i. Service is pretty quick here, but they do have a minimum credit charge of $10. It's pretty easy to reach though if you order a cocktail or slushie.

Bartender was chill and the place is quite spacious - there is seating indoors and a whole outdoor patio with chairs/booths and games like corn hole, connect 4, and giant jenga. The patio area is nice because there are space heaters on the side and it's so pretty with the hanging lights. The drink prices aren't too bad, but I like that they had good flavors for the high noons. Definitely a good spot to check out for a chill night out.

A nicely decorated intimate lounge and great for dates or a night out with friends. The staff is welcoming and waiting time for drinks is minimal. I not sure if they sell food.

Super chill, casual bar with great vibes!…read more Came here on a Monday evening, and the place had a good amount of people hanging out. Loved that there were lots of seating-bar seating, high tops, and cushioned booths in the back. Good music (D'Angelo, Fugees, Tupac...) which was at a perfect volume, so nobody was yelling! The string lights made for a warm, very comfortable vibe. Our martinis were perfectly chilled and delicious. There's a self serve water dispenser next to the bar, which is always nice. No food, so don't come hungry. They have a cute DJ booth, and looks like they have occasional DJ sets that are posted on their IG-Might be fun to check out! Really glad that we stopped by this place, and will definitely be back. Great way to close off a 3 day weekend!

The staff was incredibly kind, and when I asked if they could make a Suffering Bastard (a Smuggler's Cove classic), our bartender offered to look it up and nailed it.

Oldies esque music playing, but to be fair, I like a little Denny Martin in my tiki spots. All in all a good time and I'll be here again.
