Usually it’s cool up in here. Tonight 11/22-11/23 the main bartender is moving differently when the owner isn’t around. Typically we can come in here and take turns queueing up songs on the computer. Suddenly the bartender tonight decided that no one can touch the computer after a certain time based on arbitrary considerations. We are regulars in this bar. Unfortunately this specific bartender had a woman in here tonight and suddenly this man runs the entire process differently than usual. Not a fan of this selective process when it comes to the community music selection that brings me in to Summer bar. Typically this bartender is taking shots and smoking out of what seems to be his personal bong behind the bar. When we told him this isn’t the usual process of the night he became very aggressive to the point where I don’t feel comfortable even queuing up songs anymore. Unfortunately I am super disappointed as a regular of this bar.
The party goes down, at this,spot. I love the bartender. And the drinks are of the hook,
This bar has the potential to be a fun bar but unfortunately every time I went it was empty. I like the location even though it's off the beaten path in old Oakland. The staff is alright, the drinks are ok, but the music is absolutely horrible. I'll continue to come every so often.
Had an almost perfect gin and tonic, and the bartender was extremely friendly and fantastic to speak with. Kind of a neighborhood bar with the look and feel of a fancier lounge and amazing music... Really brings back the memories!
oakland has needed a new gay bar for a while and this one is just my speed. super chill, not too fussy, great prices and they serve wine by the bottle! I'm definitely a fan.
