    A must visit every time I’m in Oakland.

    Stopped by before a concert at the Fox on a Monday night. There were lots of open seats, love their back patio. They have heaters but it was warm enough without them. We ordered at the bar and our drinks and food were brought to our table.

    The happy hour (5-7 pm) cocktail was a mezcal spritz ($7), it was the perfect refreshing yet smoky cocktail for a warm night in the bay.

    I love the menu here, we shared the radishes w/ aioli and added sardines. Love the way the radishes were served with the stems on, we felt like bunnies 🐰. We also shared the melon and prosciutto which is a MUST have. The chili oil on it was perfect. They were out of the carrot cake 😢, but settled for some popcorn and the beer + mezcal coffee shot happy hour drink ($7) for dessert.

    This space also has books, cards, and crayons to draw on the table cloth. A great spot to check out in Oakland, worth making a trip from the city!

    This is a great addition to the Oakland bar scene. Have you watched the second season on Dollface when the friend opens a bar geared towards women as a safe space? This feels like that, but way better because it's genuine, not cheesy, and is a safe space for all.

    The drinks were well balanced and inventive. The bartender was knowledgeable and their bar is well stocked to make just about whatever you can order. The waitstaff is friendly, helpful, and accommodating. We didn't order much food but the chicory salad was delicious as were the sunchokes.

    The only downside is that it is LOUD -- like Mua loud. Bring your outside voices for inside seating, or choose to sit in one of the two outside spaces where the cement walls and loft-style floor to ceiling windows don't echo the noise.

    The food is genuine and tasteful. I came from LA just to try it. There were multiple layers and texture to each dish I had ordered. Definitely worth the wait. The drinks were also amazing the bar owner came and gave high fives as well. This place is a must!
