Low Bar - Oakland (CA)

4 /5 Claire Mizutani: Came here after work for an early dinner. I shared the Low bar nachos with my friend and both of us liked it well enough. We liked the topping to chip ratio but lots of the toppings were very wet so the chips got soggy quickly. I got the pink flag cocktail and was happy that they put what glass it would be served in on the menu. The salt and pepper wings were crisp but a little too salty. My friend got the breaded fish tacos and she liked them but they came with a sauce that was very spicy

4 /5 Kay Bee: What a fun place especially for happy hour. Came here on a Tuesday and had their taco special. They have a great cocktail menu as well. What also caught our eye were the oysters.

5 /5 rikki moreno: Really nice, attentive staff. Monday night oysters were fresh and delicious. Had 12 raw and 12 broiled. The broiled oysters had a savory finish. Loved the Hibiscus Agua Fresca with cinnamon accent. We will be back for more!

3 /5 Sarah Haight: This place was fine. It’s a pretty basic bar/restaurant. The location is cool, the interior is small but chill. The staff was chill and laid back. The tequila selection is pretty mid. I had a great time because of the company I was with, but the food and drinks were just ok. There was nothing wrong with this place but there also wasn’t any reason I’d be dying to go back. If you’re just looking for a spot to drink and meet with people I think this spot is great. But for a fun and interesting meal? Probably not. It’s downtown Oakland so parking isn’t easy.

2 /5 Estrella Sainburg: Very disappointing experience. The first time I went, the happy hour deal was different on two different menus and unclear. I did not say anything. The second time I went, they forced a 20% service for our group of six. I did not see this posted anywhere that this would be the case and even if it was posted, I have no idea how this would be justified at all. The food is already very expensive ($17 for two tacos) AND we had to go up to the bar to ask for the server two times. They hardly came around and we sat without water for a while. We had to ask for water refills twice. The place was not even packed. This is very unfortunate as the place is very well decorated and are a fan of one of the bartenders. Sitting at a table for food is a no go. What a disappointment to a nice night.
