Went for the Christmas pop up and it was great! Wish the drink options were a little different. Not enough tequila options, but maybe that’s just me.Food: 5/5
Crazy cool cocktails. Sweet, fresh, smoky, you name it... Non-trivial as well. Totally recommend!
We made reservations a week in advance, drove a hour away and unfortunately were disappointed. The hostess/staff seemed as if they would rather be anywhere else. The cute Christmas glasses we got were beyond chipped for the $20 festive drink we came for. We planned our night around how they made it appear online but left after one drink.
Super impressed with The Oakland always. Their staff is always super knowledgeable and ready to tell you about their cocktails or make a recommendation. Recently went during their Happy Hour every day but Saturday, open-6:31, I believe!, and had such a delightful time at the bar. The drinks were as strong and smooth as ever and super unique without being pretentious. So glad Ferndale has an adorable speakeasy like this!
This place seems to be a highly popular hangout spot. Recommend proper reservations as the wait times are at least an hour. Loved the drinks. Great spot for casual drinks. Very vintage interiors and dim lighting is the vibe. The music selection is spot on. The drinks are little expensive but yum. I definitely see myself going back. Recommend the place!!
The atmosphere is beautiful. Very dim candle light and the glow of a sparkling chandelier. I found the drinks to be ok. I liked them but didn’t love them. I would go back for a classic cocktail like an old fashioned for sure, but would not test their menu again. The staff was kind and attentive. All in all a great intimate spot for a cocktail.
Sat for over half an hour before anyone spoke to use. Love the drinks. After awful service 22% gratuity is automatically added so there’s no incentive for the person serving drinks to do a decent job.Food: 5/5
Funky and fun, playful and funky—this experience will not disappoint. Lots of care taken to the small details here, such as lots of different kinds of seating to allow for all sorts of different group sizes, energy levels and such. A gem not to be missed!Food: 5/5
I loved this place! from outside it looks ok, but if you enter the decoration is amazing and the drinks too. It looks fancy and private inside. I ordered the dealer choice and they created something new for me. Plus the drink without alcohol beachball was really good too.
22% gratuity added in automatically to a bar bill is absolutely insane. This place does a disgusting practice and for that reason I will never go back again.
