    DJ in the booth

    This was my first time visiting this establishment. Pleasantly surprised by the owner who was very hospitable, and a generous pourer. My favorite part was the LED hallway to a back bar and then then a surprise back patio. I'm unsure if you can sit at the parkland in front. But for an upside, you can be your own personal DJ and select a songs in the DJ booth. I posted photos of my friend who was Mr DJ for the night.

    This is a new LGBT friendly bar in downtown Oakland I ran into a week after it opened. There are two bars, a patio (street seating also), a stage, and it looks set up for live performances. Very nice to see this addition to the community! Also the bartenders and owner are super nice.

    Friendly bar, tucked away from the scene. It's great to so more queer spaces on this side of the Bay.

    Don't understand how this place isn't more popular. Great bartenders, great bathrooms, great sound system, cheap drinks. No cover!

    It is a grit and grind place with a lot of culture and things to do - food, museums, shopping, and community events on the occasion.

    So here's my update on this absolute dumpster fire of an establishment from Friday, March 20…read more I came in, ordered ONE margarita, and within about five minutes, the bartender was physically fighting with a drunk patron and trying to choke them out while the security guard stood there being completely useless. Truly incredible to watch a place be that understaffed, unprofessional, and unsafe all at once. But wait, it gets worse. After I already left a review about being caught in the middle of their little bar brawl, these geniuses charged my card AGAIN for $52.92 after I had already left. For what exactly? The drinks from the drunk people THEY were over-serving before the fight broke out? Because it definitely wasn't mine. Let me be very clear: I walked in. I ordered ONE drink. A margarita. That's it. So somehow I got front row seats to a bartender throwing hands, security doing absolutely nothing, and then got charged like I sponsored the chaos. This place is a joke. Unsafe, sloppy, and apparently so incompetent they can't even charge the right customer after turning the bar into a live-action WWE event. If you enjoy being overcharged, caught in the middle of violence, and watching staff behave worse than the intoxicated customers, this might be your spot. Easy 1 star. Honestly, zero if I could. 3.24.26 I now have to dispute a charge that never should have been on my card in the first place. This place somehow managed to turn an already awful experience into an even bigger mess by fraudulently charging me $52.92 after everything that happened. I am beyond irritated. At this point, if I have to press charges against the bartender for charging my card without authorization, I will absolutely do it. The level of incompetence and unprofessionalism here is unreal. Not only was I subjected to chaos, but now I'm wasting my time cleaning up a problem THEY created

    This review is two years old but never too late! First let me start by thanking Sean and Ritchie…read more Sean spent countless email messages with me ironing out the details. I added additional people and it was no problem. I'm a planner and can be pretty intense with insuring things go as planned without hiccups and of course I had a thousand questions and still, Sean's kindness never wavered. I met Ritchie the day of and he was so welcoming, the way we hugged and chatted you'd think we've met before. My kinda people. Ever sense I've been singing their praises. I've sent many people their way. The entire staff that day was great. The bartenders (see the video for the effects). They did not play with those drinks! The food? Muah! Chef's kiss. EVERYONE enjoyed their food. My party end up being about 10 people and we all almost all ordered different things. My steak and chimichurri sauce, eggs and potatoes was to die for. I still daydream about how the temperature of my steak was so perfect. I let folks try my steak, it was so good some ordered their own-aside from their other order lol I'm over due a visit. I pray my next experience is as well as the first.

    I love Baggy's! I love the real and fun personalities of the staff…read more I really enjoy the quality of their drinks, and mixture of music they play!!

    If you're looking for a true dive bar in Oakland, you're either a two-fisted drinker ready for…read moreanother round or a Yelper ready to write an alcohol-fueled review. This spot should satisfy both personas as its an old-time tavern that's been around since the 1930's. That was the first Great Depression if you didn't know. The place is indeed by Lake Merritt, but who's Baggy? He was a bookie who ended up owning half the bar when the original owner faced mounting gambling debts. What a great story to share over a drink at this bar. I found it when Jamie W. and I were strolling downtown and found Mad Oak overrun with hipsters on a Saturday afternoon. We came here and immediately felt the vintage vibe. Nope, not Cheers despite the presence of regulars at their favorite seats. We found a couple of open spots at the end of the bar, and we ordered a couple of $11 Makers Mark and Gingers (photo: https://bit.ly/3NmOv4V). The bartender was very friendly and even handed out complimentary lemon-glazed Twinkies she made herself (photo: https://bit.ly/3oMzQ8Z). Yep, it's that kinda place.
