Wonderful addition to the Oakland area when it's just a hop and a skip next door to the Fox Theater. Make Westing is Cha-Ching...Moneyball status in my book! I say this after seeing One Republic in concert and Moneyball in hopes to see dreamy Brad Pitt. Of course, I failed at the attempt to stalk him.

I came across this bar after a few friends wanted to grab a couple of drinks before the concert. The nightlife scene around the area is slowly picking up...I can tell. People watching in Oakland was enjoyable after a cocktail here and there.

The place is outstanding with star-studded service! I loved our bartender who was super sweet! She worked on our cocktails without being rushed just to make it that extra special before serving it to us. I ordered their Carolac and Snozzberry which were both to die for! My buzzed self couldn't help notice that the berries and spritzy ginger along with the vodka balanced out very well. Carolac was exceptional with that sugary taste at the end of my last drop. I'll have to come back again and try the other drinks on their menu.

Happy hour?? Yes you heard that right!! It's exponentially that great! The interior design is out of this world. Different taste from the inside as opposed to the outside from the looks of it. The dark trimmed bar area and low lighting made it feel intimate yet strikingly inviting. Bocce ball? Yes! They have it here inside a bar!! Something quite different if you ask me. Would it be worth to check out? Yes!! I'm a fan!
