Came for the karaoke on Monday night with a large group and had A BLAST, thanks to DJ Chris! We were able to easily join the queue via QR codes posted around the bar and he kept the good vibes going all night long. Our group is only in town for a couple days but we were extremely happy with the experience and had a great time. Only come to Legionnaire if you’re trying to let loose and enjoy strangers belting your fave songs. Bonus: the bar is only 21+

Visiting from Los Angeles and popped in. Drinks were great and they had karaoke going on. The pinball machines are fun too. Great Tuesday night!

Came in Sunday night got scammed by the bartender. There was only one working, and he was rude and smug from the start. He messed up our drinks and even gave one of my friends the wrong, cheaper tequila, which was either deliberate or he was completely incompetent. He then overcharged my other friend by $9, and when she pointed it out, he initially said, "That's how much it costs." When she pointed to the menu, he took the receipt and said, “you care too much,” then walked away like it was nothing. Myself and another friend went back up to the bar to sort it out and stood there for 15 minutes while he blatantly ignored us. When we finally walked down to where he was, he sarcastically said “nice move.” He then spent another 5 minutes fumbling with the receipt and register before saying we could either get a credit or come back the next day to talk to a manager. No apology. No accountability. Just attitude. Like we were the ones who made the error. He literally could've just admitted his mistake and said he didn't know how to reverse the charge. We took the credit just to get out of there, ordered a drink we didn’t even want (the first ones were bad anyway), and left. To make matters worse. My other friend got a notification that a $30 tip was added to her card AFTER we left. She never wrote it in. Never approved it. He added it himself. That’s not just shady, that’s credit card FRAUD. This bartender was unprofessional, dishonest, and clearly had no interest in doing his job. First time at this bar and definitely the last. If you go here, watch your drinks, your tab, and your receipt. He clearly thought he could get away with it and probably has. I'm sure this isn't the first time either and management must not care since he still has a job.

Visiting from Scotland. What a find this bar. Incredibly well stocked bar. Super friendly staff and great atmosphere. They add also have an amazing whisky bar upstairs at weekends. It's on a par with anything I've experienced in my native country. Also the proprietor Jason is Incredibly warm and welcoming. If you find yourself in Oakland, this place is a must visit ✨️

I had a blast here on Saturday. It was karaoke night and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. The drinks were great and affordable, the DJ was awesome, gave out mic covers to lessen the spread of germs between singers. The crowd was awesome and our group had a lot of fun.
