    The place was stunning, the staff was super friendly, the ambience absolutely awesome. Oakland Tech Bulldogs Class of 1985 had our 40th Reunion party there and they had RJ's Catering Loaded Baked Potatoes omg ! Everything was amazing!

    So, we went to chill, have a drink and watch the sunset go down on a Friday when they opened at 5pm. And we did just that. We a met some many nice people! The vibe was really nice. Music was great. Happy Hour was working for us. There was also a nice couple selling hearty bar food like Philly cheesesteaks. I would like to go back later in the evening to dance. The views are great and the staff and bartenders were really nice.

    Stopped in on a friday evening for happy hour and it eas quite busy, so I waited for a bit before ordering a drink. Bartender was super nice though, so couldn't complain too much. Drinks were okay. Vibe was fun. And i couldnt really enjoy it being a rooftop bar beacuse there were too many people outside. I'm not sure I would come back, but it's definitely worth a visit.

    well, Vacation in San Francisco we purchased our tickets on Eventbrite for $39. We were told to wear black. It totally wasn't necessary you can come in for free. We arrived at happy hour so drinks are eight dollars so we overpaid by $32.99. They had a guy there making tacos and they were delicious. The drinks were good and the music and ambience was hip-hop and fantastic. The only regret was buying our ticket off event other than that it was a great night and a great place to go to I will return.

    Happy hour Friday 5-7pm great cocktails great music a vibe!

    Torch in Oakland Fridays: great music, unbeatable vibes, and happy hour from 5-7 pm. Fun, friendly, and worth the ride. See you there!

    We came super early and the owner let my friends and I in and he served us drinks and let us sit and take pictures on the beautiful rooftop! He was so nice and welcoming, his wife came shortly after and she was so nice and fun! We had a great time having drinks and we will definitely come back for some dancing! I felt like I was on a rooftop bar in New York!

    Very nice and intimate. The bartenders are amazing. No drama everyone is just there to have a good time. Will definitely be back

    I didn't really like the vibes here and the owner was rude to my friends and I. I won't be back.

    My friend and I were also sitting outdoors on this rainy evening, but the rooftop was covered and the heated lights were in full effect.

    Viridian, you stole the show this month! This was my first time coming back to Viridian after about…read morea decade, and we were not disappointed. Such a beautiful interior space vibrant in celebration for AAPI Heritage month, and a super fun cocktail menu that was the perfect post-meal moment (both photo-worthy and tastebuds approved). We also noticed they have a cool food menu too filled with yummy and innovative dishes like Cheesy Char Siu Tots, Szechuan Salt & Pepper Wings, Korean Fried Mapo Tofu, BBQ Char Siu Ribs, and more. They also have nice swag ~ we took home a hat that resembled a Kirkland hat that spelled out "Oakland Viridian" (IYKYK). Drink-wise we ordered the Soy Sauce Old Fashioned and the Café Sua Daddy, which essentially is an espresso martini with a fun twist with black sesame and an egg cream foam. Both drinks were outstanding and presentation was beyond..I wished we could have stayed for round two, but duty calls! Ride-share and or BART suggested in this area, it's just a bit congested downtown to park. Service was fun, prices fair for the whole experience. Loved it!

    This place is so cute inside it's definitely a cool almost speakeasy vibe. Came an hour after they…read moreopened and it was already getting pretty busy on a Thursday night. Service was really prompt and friendly. The food was great we ordered all the classics such as the tater tots and the cucumbers, and we also got the salt and pepper wings, and the special mapo tofu. Portions are great and it's definitely a lot of food to share. There are also extensive cocktails on the menu running at $16-$20 each, which is expected for the creativity and expert craftsmanship of each cocktail. They have a large number of cocktails that are special and seasonal, and then their classics on the bottom. I don't think you can go wrong with anything that you try and I love that they have Asian fusion options for the cocktails and savory and sweet. I got one of the seasonal cocktails that was passionfruit forward and it had a nice tart crisp taste that I really enjoyed.
