Cordial Cellar + Lounge

Love how elegant they've made this basement space - it's always a nice respite from the outside world. Enjoy their flights and great beer selection, and the popcorn is always tasty. Peer into the heart of deliciousness with the sous vide cheesecake, made of goat cheese with graham cracker crumbs and Irish whiskey dulce de leche. Quite tasty! But I admit, I was sad to see it served in jar form versus a slice. I probably should have guessed that from the "sous vide," huh?

We usually only come here for special events where they do a set menu and wine pairing. Last one we went to was Hawaiian themed with a live band playing Xmas music island style. We always have a good time. It's usually fairly intimate and each dinner has about 20-25 guests. Just follow Castro Valley Marketplace on social media to get notified about these events.

Very nice place. East Bay needs more of this. Nice bar food. Great wine. Amazing staff. Incredible music. I wish they would stay open till later and not close at 7:30pm. But nonetheless this is a much welcome gem in our neighborhood.

Hidden gem for craft beer lovers in Castro Valley. They have DAILY happy hour from 3-4pm 50% off all draft beers which includes Pliny! That’s right - $4 Pliny you can’t beat it.

They have a good selection of craft beer cans to go including moonraker, hen house, revision.

I got the Mac and cheese which was tasty but a little over cooked. Overall would be back!

Needed to pick up a few bottles of wine, very helpful with recommendations.

Nice atmosphere and looking forward to going back for cocktails
