Make Westing is one of those special bars that absolutely crushes the food scene and doesn t brag about it. Go early, grab a seat at the bar, and dive into some of their sandwiches and small bites. This is the perfect spot before a show at The Fox, or a beer after a long week. Pro tip: this place ge...

Fun bar with two bocce ball courts to mess around on. Perfect location in Oakland right by the Fox theatre and close to the Bart station. Drinks and beer choices are pretty good. Can get a little crowded and lines to get a drink can get long.

Good place to start off the night (or end it). Nice atmosphere. Drinks are decently priced. Bocce ball towards the back of the place is fun. Can get packed at certain times especially if there's a show across the street at the theater.

Even though it's a big place inside, it fills up fast on weekends and/or any day with a show at the Fox next door. Lots of drink options (bunch of local/regional beers on tap), and the small food menu is really good (and came quickly). The bocce ball courts (two of them) are a nice touch.
