Tiger's Taproom is a great neighborhood spot. It has a good amount of seating, several events throughout the month that are fun to participate in, and (my favorite part) many dogs who are regulars. I was a bit skeptical at first, since I'm not very into beer, and, it's obviously a taproom. But over the past year or two, they've almost always had an interesting cider or cocktail on tap as well. Additionally, there's almost always a food truck or pop up out front, so it's a good place to grab a bite and a pint and enjoy the atmosphere. You can tell the owner has put a lot into building a solid community. Every time I've gone in, everyone from staff to regulars have always been friendly. Overall, it's a favorite spot in Jack London, especially in the warmer months. read more

I stopped here after work to meet a friend. I had Pliney the Elder. It was delicious. There was a lobster truck out front serving food. We had lobster bisque and lobster tots. After being in the taproom for a while a person came around to invite us to play music bingo. It was a lot of fun, the host played songs from the 80's and if you had that song on your bingo card you marked it. We played several rounds, one line, two lines any direction, 4 corners and blackout. The music was good and people were excited to win the prizes from the Bingo! I didn't win so I don't know what they won, maybe next time... read more

Fantastic time as always. Visited multiple times - hard to believe that I've not popped a review before. Love getting flights of beer. The selection is fantastic. Service is always impeccable. Cool spot to watch some games, check out the scene, and relax. Definitely coming back soon! read more

Tiger's Taproom - Cheers! - Beer Bar Near Me - Oakland, California

I love this place. I was there the other day and this other dude had his dog off leash and mine is reactive to that. The guy got pissed and left after the owner politely asked him to keep his dog on a leash. Generally though it's a very accepting community with a focus on dogs, sports and beer! I'd say JLS needs more places like this but I think this one has caught lightning in a bottle with the ambiance, service and diverse popups that come through. Especially Say Grace! read more

We love it here. Friendly people, fun ambiance with board games and good drinks. Always a nice place to go for a chill night. read more

Enjoyed a tasty Santa's Little Helper stout while on a date. Tiger's provided a casual atmosphere with a spattering of other patrons on a Tuesday during happy hour time. I didn't register any music, but maybe it was just quiet and I was engaged in conversation. Looks like it might be a cool place to check out on a hopping weekend evening on the outdoor patio. read more

Fantastic taproom serving up a cool variety of pours (from beer to cider and even mead!) They often have pop-up food vendors and tons of regular events throughout the week. In a great area with tons of free parking (because ya'll are sleeping on the Jack London area!) Highly recommend brewery hopping in this neighborhood and ending it at Tigers! read more

Few good beers, okay amount of seating, very good prices, not as loud as most breweries. Pop up kitchen is a hit or miss, i believe they ll get better with time, service is great! read more

Best taproom in Oakland. Simple. Get to know the owner, Brian, and you'll have a friend for life. Stop in now and then, and every time, you know it's been too long. I was having a bad day, but knew, prayed, if Brian was working, everything would be a lot better. He was. Everything is a lot better. Rare beers, the best beers, and now serving damn fine cocktails!(license limited)..... If you can't find something you like here, you're impossible to please. TOE!!!!! Tigers Over Everything! Plenty of space, and everyone is a friend. Hope you like underberg. read more

Great place to come and have a drink or 10! Make sure you swing by when you're in JLS!

We stopped here as part of our summer social beer crawl this year. We came in the late afternoon when it was pretty much empty. Service was of course solid given we were the only group in there. Everyone was happy with the wide beer selection, numerous board games, cute bathrooms with chalkboard walls and tons of cans and bottles from local breweries to take home. Pros: Industrial and clean yet cozy feel, fun board games and good beer on tap. Great for bigger groups. Cons: Nothing comes to mind read more

Still a total 5 star location! Brian and Danny constantly have events, new and fun food trucks outside, and always have a nice variety on tap. Other places might have more on tap, but the neighbor feel and friendliness of the customers and owners really make this place one of my favorites in all of Oakland! I actually bought a growler of the Cara Cara Bang Bang sour to take home and make some carnitas! I'm not a huge sour beer person, but this stuff tastes JUST like orange juice. It ended up being an awesome dish! read more

The best dog friendly bar in Oakland! Love the vending machine for the fur babies. Great brews and cool vibes!

Best taproom in Oakland! The owner, Brian, works hard to find cool beers for your enjoyment. I'm an old school West Coast malty/hoppy IPA fan and when I walk in Brian always points me to beers that I would like. On weekends, there is usually a food truck just outside for your dining pleasure. Do yourself a favor and swing on by! read more

Great location (particularly because I love so close!) and usually guaranteed sun most days. A lot of the breweries hear here can be drafty, but this one gives you all the sunshine needed on a nice day, and with a beer in your hand? You're set. Various taco trucks and a pizza vendor are in rotation during the week, so you're set there too. I've tried the pizza, which I thought was ok (a bit too healthy and lacked flavor). The gyro truck was super tasty tho! I also heard of a good Hawaiian food truck too, but have yet to try it. I love how they rotate their beer flavors, so you'll always have something new to explore! read more

Awesome place with great variety of tap and canned beers and very loyal audience. We're there for the first time on Sofar event and can tell that the atmosphere was amazing! The only thing that I can ask as a not a beer person a couple more of ciders would be really great(: read more

Came here last weekend for beer week and had a great time! Everyone was super friendly and they had a great selection of beer. They have a good amount of outdoor and indoor seating and they are dog friendly. Additionally they had a bunch of board games in there, I love it when a bar has games and encourages a cozy vibe! read more

Great tap selection, very kind staff, great outdoor seating to see all the doggos out for their walks (they even have treats available for dogs!! ). We only stopped by for a quick visit but we'll definitely be back for more beers at another time read more

Tiger's Taproom - Beers! - Beer Bar Near Me - Oakland, California

I've been coming here for years. Brian runs a great establishment. There's an entire crew dedicated to coming in. The rotating tap always presents the best of Bay Area (and beyond) craft brewing. I wish there was more room because it can get pretty crowded during events. There's almost always a food truck or stall. Get the empenadas if it's Las Marinaras. read more

All outside sitting and Covid protocols followed. Easy ordering and paying system via barcodes and friendly hosts. Beer variety was also good and served our purpose. Would like to come back again when it is a bit warmer so we don't need the outside heaters. read more

This is a great new'ish to me neighborhood spot. They just celebrated their 1 year anniversary, which nicely coincides with the rise of several nearby apartment buildings. I hope that means they'll be here for the long haul! What to get there? They have 14-16 beers on tap all the time; I favor the lighter beers like pilsners or weissbeer but if you want double IPAs they've got that too. There are trivia night and game nights a few times a month (follow them on instagram @tigerstaproom to find the dates), and food options Tuesday through Sunday. My favorites are East Oakland Smoke on Thursdays and D.O.G. hot dogs on Sundays, but I'm looking at Street Steam Bunz on Fridays as my next thing to try. Tuesdays is La Santa Torta, Wednesdays Las Marianas, and Saturdays DCQUE BBQ. So something for everyone. Enjoy! read more

Tiger's Taproom - Weihensephaner fest bier. Best beer of the year! - Beer Bar Near Me - Oakland, California

Superbowl kickoff starts (even if it's just 2 o'clock Friday afternoon) at this kicka_s spot! Nice punt that sets the tone for Niner over Chiefs, relax I meant Niners versus Chiefs...or do I? Rotating delish Brews are yumsters and served perfectly chill! Been here once b4 and still solid. Vibe music playing, clean and aesthetic, chains off the doors at 2pm just right after your last Friday work meetings or heck hold meeting here. Awesome cool service by owners Danny and Brian. No tubes but they put out out a big screen 110" projector for games (that's probably part of the playbook) so don't be deflated (Patriots no punn intended), you can watch game(s) here!!! Watch Superbowl 54 here or fly with me to Miammmmi babe. 9 (start work hour), 5 (end of work hour), 49 hut hut! read more

Super friendly local beer place. The owner/bartender knows almost all his customers. They get new beer selections every day. It's a great place to grab a beer at the end of the day. I do have to say, their selections are unique and great, but it does come at a few dollars more depending on the beer. I would say the options are worth the price tho. read more

Friendly, knowledgeable staff Great drink selection! Sidewalk barrel tables are comfortable and unpretentious, which is rare in this section of Oakland dining and drinking read more

We came here during our tandem bike and ordered Pink Flamingo and Old Ecodate beer (forgot the name) but they both amazing! We also loved the ambience and the space. I went there in a big group over 20 people and we can actually fit everyone in one table! The only downside is maybe they only have snacks and not real food (I mean like, maybe gourmet or hot food..) and the chips are on the higher price as well. But afterall, we would definitely go back again if we're in Oakland area ! read more

Great owners who are friendly and love beer as much as I do. Taps change often and there is plenty of options for beers. I like sour beer and nitro. I'm glad that they have beer that I enjoy drinking. They do not have did, but food trucks are right outside. read more

Nice place that does a lot of collabs with other local food and beer, and has a lot of events going on. Nice ambience with barrels for tables, and chalk paint on the bathroom walls for you to write on. They only had one dark beer and I'd like to see more, but i came for their collab with Laughing Monk Brewing, a beer brewed with stroopwaffels and came back again later this week for another glass. Will be back, probably for another event :) read more

Great atmosphere, the owner, Brian, is very awesome, attentive and kind. Good selection of brew on tap and solid few fridges with cans. Going back soon! read more

Great selection of beer that changes every week. Perfect for just hanging out with friends, no screens and a bunch of board games:) Brian and Danny are the best and do a great job at getting to know the neighborhood. Love this taproom! read more

Love love love it!! This is a beautiful place that has a noticeable sense of warmth when you walk in. Love the local vibe it seems to embrace! Every time I have been in there has been a diverse local selection of beers. I personally love trying new beers, and Tigers always seems to have a new beer I haven't tried. The beers are also unique to their style, selection is not just 10 types of IPAs, the staff does a great job of sourcing all styles and quality within each style. They have 16 taps, and a great selection in a fridge to take to go. Always fast service and open parking, I find myself stopping by for a beer and to pick up some beer to go because it's so convenient (in a rush it's the quickest stop I know). Also they seem to have food trucks pretty frequently, which is nice. 21 and over only! The photography is awesome and adds a nice something little extra that makes it stand out even more against other beer bars. Without a doubt this place will join my standard stomping grounds!! read more

Tiger's Taproom - Opening day! - Beer Bar Near Me - Oakland, California

The 5 star rating does not lie. Impeccable service and stellar menu of diverse beers. My friends and I stopped by on a Saturday night an hour before close and were served right away at the bar. We hadn't had dinner yet so were starving. They only serve snacks like chips, but they had hosted a Friendsgiving potluck on this night. We inquired about the food laying out near the back and our bartender/co-owner told us that we could have some of the leftovers! It was a Thanksgiving miracles in our eyes! Seriously, how generous! As for the beer - I had their festbier on tap and it was refreshing and delicious. My friends loved their picks too. They serve a ton of local beers and we loved all the homages to the breweries depicted in the photos on their walls. They have a selection board games, in which my friends and I had a blast battling each other at an intense game of Sequence. Plenty of seating and bathrooms are super clean. Can't wait for my next visit. read more

Okay, I've been back many times now. Something about this place makes me feel incredibly welcomed every time. The employees and the patrons are all just here to have a good time and make sure everyone is enjoying themselves. I mean I went in recently and they surprised a regular with a birthday cake! This spot has me locked in, it's got it's own little thriving community and I love it. I will keep coming back for the good times and especially the Underberg. read more

Tiger's Taproom, or as us locals call it, Tiger's has become a Jack London neighborhood staple since opening in 2018. I have seen this place grow, become friends with Brian and Danny, and met incredible neighbors over the past couple of years. The on-tap beer is always well sourced, fresh, and delicious. Oh, did I mention that they also have an incredible selection of beer and cider to-go!? Stop by, sit on the patio and have a conversation with either one of the owners, you will not be disappointed. read more

Very pleasantly surprised by the array of options offered here. Dark and light beers, sours, Belgians, pretty much anything you could ask for. I had a milkshake pale ale, which was new to me. It was a Friday night and wasn't too crowded, but enough to be a bit of a poppin joint. We happened to get there shortly before the owner gave a toast to his dog Tiger, for whom the Taproom is named after. Champagne was shared with anybody who was there at the time. It was a pretty emotional event, he choked up a bit while giving the toast. It made me think the owner was a genuinely good guy and makes me a big fan of Tiger Taproom. Good taste, good people. read more

If you're in the neighborhood definitely visit Tiger's for a local beer option or two (or three). Brian and Danny really know what they've got on tap and are great with recommendations. Now that they've got some outdoor seating, it's a nice weekend stop to enjoy a drink, a taco from a local truck, and the sunshine. For those of us living nearby, it's a great option within walking distance! read more

I stopped by Tiger's Taproom with my colleagues for an early afternoon happy hour (#dontjudgeme) and was excited to see what the new spot was all about. The owners were behind the bar and took their time to explain beer choices to myself and my tender tribe, which I really appreciated as someone who isn't too crazy about the burrrr. They have plenty of choices on tap and gladly provided little sample sips so that we could make an informed decision. I ended up with a crisp, refreshing cider and HIGHLY recommend the brew. The namesake, Tiger--a friendly dog that wasn't so friendly it became obnoxius--was an adorable addition to the scenery. Speaking of scenery, the place is adorned with little beer can vases boasting beautiful blooms and just enough casual, clean ambiance to make us feel just a smidgen less guilty about drinking before 5. We really enjoyed the place and the kind owners and will definitely be back soon. read more
