Enjoyed their happy hour. The service was subpar but the food was great. Prices were good and location is great
We first checked out District Oakland a few years ago before a comedy show at Oracle, and ever since, my husband has been saying, "We gotta go back!" We finally did, and it was just as great as we remembered! The vibe is perfect--chill but lively--and sitting at the bar was a great experience. The bartender was amazing, the drinks were on point, and the small bites were just what we needed. Definitely a spot we'd recommend and will keep coming back to!
I haven't been to the District-Oakland since pre-pandemic and visited for an after work gathering . The place is still casual, cozy (cushioned seating) welcoming with a variety of drink and shareable food options with music from a DJ. Happy Hour menu simple and straightforward like french fries, brussel sprouts and wings but the kitchen does them well: French fries crispy yet creamy on the inside, brussel sprout have depth of flavor with sauces made from scratch! Their dinner menu (meatballs, sandwich sliders) seem like bar food but equally delicious. Service basic and limited: order at the bar and food delivered to your table. District Oakland is an energetic spot to nosh on small bite (for sharing) while imbibing on a cocktail, beer, or glass of wine. Happy Hour: 4-7 M-F, 5-7pm Sat. with full menu available. Plenty of metered street parking in Old Oakland
We have been coming here for ever since Doc John ended up behind the bar. So about 4 years. Happy hour is good and the food is over all tasty. The wife loves the oysters at happy hour. So she and the crew always come through and get like 4 dozen. I personally like the lamb meatballs and pizzas. But they have things on the menu for everyone. Drinks selection is good. Plus they can make almost anything you can think of. If you go you need to have John make you a New York Sour - damn good.
Last minute find for a night dining out. Service was quick although slightly busy. Ordered the steak hanger entree and shrimp with risotto, which shared made a great surf and turf dinner!
