Friends and Family is the best. The vibe is unbeatable and the staff is on point. The food is incredible and the drinks are memorable. Go be friends.
The only bar.
10/10 (:
The service needs work. The cocktails are the thing and love the back patio space.
Just go here and get pampered with all the delights of the senses. I was on tour and had the afternoon off. I was road weary and my muscles were aching. I walked in to the makers market last Sunday and was surrounded by beautiful friendly people selling their magnificent hand-made wares. I got to make some friends and the laughter & smiles melted my aches away. It started to rain and everyone worked together as a group to move to he things that were getting wet indoors, just like one mind. It was beautiful to see the love and cooperation that this bar exudes in every way. Truly lives up to it’s namesake. I tried a aperol spritz. It had a big fat green olive in it! I freakin love olives. That drink was an elixir that loosened me up even with super-low ABV. I think that these folks put extra love into everything they make & do. It’s rare to find such a thing in the world there’s days. Cherish it!
Fantastic bar and even better staff! Came for a birthday party and loved everything about it! You ever go to a bar where the staff seems to be having as much fun as the patrons? That's F&F. We had a big group and the bartenders were hella attentive and took great care of us! Looking forward to coming back!
Fun bar! Definitely a not so hidden gem. Unique cocktails.
The cutest queer space in Oakland, with the best food & drinks.
Nice date night location. Small interior is broken up into tables for 2. Candles and live flowers at each table setting is a nice touch. Lots of tequila and mezcal based drinks.
cute atmosphere, liked how they gave out crayons to draw on the tablecloth. patio was also warmed nicely with heaters! would come back. - passion of longyang: tasted a little like medicine and wouldn’t get again
One of the best cocktail bars in Oakland, full stop. The cocktails are amazing, the nibbles are delicious, and the people who work there are warm and helpful. The people set this place apart… they want you there and it shows. This place gets packed so get there early if you have a large crew.
A lovely place with a welcoming vibe! Unique food options, fun cocktails, and the carrot cake is top tier! Great way to spend an evening in Oakland 👍🏻
We got the chicory salad, the eggplant grilled cheese, and many cocktails. Great vibes, fantastic food and good service.
I’ve been here several times now and the cocktails are great and it’s beautiful inside. That said, I just keep finding I don’t really enjoy being there. It’s somewhat cold and since the entire place is concrete, it’s truly unbearably loud. The acoustics are so awful and you can’t talk or hear anyone you’re with. The menu is overpriced and I wish they’d have it clearly marked what is vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, etc. Most bars and restaurants in Oakland these days do this standard now. I’ve had a very tiny $6 bowl of sad, cold popcorn there as a supposedly vegan option. It just doesn’t live up to the hype for me after going about a dozen times. I want to support a queer bar but it doesn’t feel particularly welcoming or warm. YMMV especially if none of your queer friends are vegan.
Great cocktails and food!
Delicious food and yummy drinks. Atmosphere is awesome and welcoming!
Seriously one of the best spots I’ve been to in ages. Amazing food! Amazing staff! They give you crayons to draw on that table! 10/10 will go again
Delicious food, responsive and friendly service, and a stellar environment. Will be back!
Super lovely place. As a cis white middle aged male I was unsure if the space was welcoming to me based on what I knew about it. And when I saw the online pics I did not imagine the venue was as beautiful as it was depicted. All stars in my eyes. The staff was amazing. The cocktail menu stellar. Umami popcorn salty and yummy. Loved it!
Delicious food, amazing cocktails and a great atmosphere!
