Fluid510

My friends and I attended the old school R&B Brunch and a time was had! The DJ was amazing! The staff were awesome! The food was delicious. We had the blueberry waffle with fried chicken, and the eggs, bacon and potatoes. I'm a bacon kind of girl and the bacon was cooked perfectly. I don't usually like restaurant eggs, but these eggs were delicious. Now, let's talk about that crispy fried chicken. I don't even like thighs but those chicken thighs were mouthwatering. The crunch was crunching!Now.. here is where FLUID 510 sealed the deal and will be my go to brunch spot. In a world where it's easy to not do the right thing, especially when the error is noticed after the fact, the ownership of Fluid 510 did the right thing after I was accidentally overcharged. I stopped by the next day and left my information not expecting to hear back, but to my surprise they actually read my note and contacted me about a refund for my overpayment.Top notch restaurant! Top notch service! Top notch management! I will be back!

Nice venue!Came here for a birthday function. Space is nice and open with a bar and booth/ table seating area in the front half, with a stage / dance floor in the back end. The vibe of the establishment stuck to that "downtown" style, which I liked. Didn't get to see it but there's also a comedy club up in the 2nd floor too which sounds cool. Got to try most of their speciality drinks, as we had an open bar package for our event. Most of the drinks were strong, but they had a good variety of specialties. Food was good, standard bar food, but pricey ($30 for a medium pizza and order of fries + tip). Overall- 8/10. Staff were super nice and friendly. The bar and security lady that was watching the front were the best, special shoutout to them!

Unfortunately, this was a bust! We went expecting brunch but ended up at (un)happy hour. My daughter and I found them on IG. The brunch they advertised looked spectacular. We were disappointed that brunch ended at 3:00. We were there at 4:00. Thinking the happy hour menu would be just as great, we decided to stay and order. The place was empty aside from the couple at the bar. I should of left then.I don't know who our server was. He never introduced himself. He asked if we wanted a drink to start. I asked for water. He returned with two glasses 3/4 full. It 88° outside. Ice in the glass would of been wonderful but...We asked what the restaurant was known for as far as food. "A little bit of everything. We're a bar, lounge and we serve brunch". I was ready to leave at that point but my daughter was hangry so we stayed. 2 pepperoni pizzas, mac n cheese, 3 shrimp sliders and an espresso martini was the order. All things were small bites. The sliders were the only things "shareable" because there were 3 in the order.My favorite food is pizza. I could eat it every day and twice on Sunday. It was very disappointing. Unfortunately, this pizza was not one that I would come back for. It tasted like pizza I use to eat in the school cafeteria in my elementary school. I definitely did not finish it. None of the food was finished. The best thing, according to my daughter, was the martini. The mac n cheese had to be returned because it was loaded with bread crumbs. That's an absolute no-no for my daughter. The new one that came out looked more appealing and had great cheese pull. Bacon chunks were throughout and so she through it out. Because the menu did not describe what it was made with she was under the impression it would just be that, mac and cheese.Our waiter did not return to our table other than to deliver our water. The revised mac n cheese was brought to us by kitchen staff and our final bill was brought by the bartender. All in all I think our $75 could of been spent better elsewhere.

Looking for a place for drinks after the Black Joy Parade. Fluid had drinks and food and we caught happy hour. The place is great for what it is, just too loud to have a conversation but it is a lounge so there's that. Also the bathrooms are clean. That's also a plus.

Oakland is such a hub of diversity that it breaks pieces of my heart when neighborhood gay bars like Port Bar and Feelmore Social close. Even though it's louder than the venues we most prefer, Jamie W and I settled into this cavernous space on a late Sunday afternoon. Clearly the space is meant for more than drinking. We envisioned a lot of dancing and performing but not by us.We sat at a big banquette where we apparently just missed the last of the food orders. However, we did imbibe a couple of their $15 Spicy Margaritas which were on the lighter and sweeter side (photo: https://yelp.to/WSUSC1KZ_n). Meanwhile the urban music was getting louder, and now we know how Stella got her groove. It's owned by Richard Fuentes and Sean Sullivan, the same guys who owned Port Bar.COCKTAILS - 3 stars...just not potent enough for this venueAMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...really bigSERVICE - 3 stars...kinda takes them a while to notice you're here unless you make some noiseTOTAL - 3 stars...glad to see this in downtown but I hope smaller bars pop upRELATED - Exploring Oakland?

Great experience with my wife and I. We went to the comedy club and we felt like family instantly. Jalen was the best bartender ever and his drinks taste literally sooo good. Our server was Ariel and she was the nicest and most attentive server. The food was good. I highly recommend this place especially on comedy night.

I came here on 5/18/24 for a comedy show and this venue is absolutely beautiful. The setting downstairs is lounge style. I saw they had a brunch menu with bottomless mimosas and I am definitely coming back for that! They had a stage downstairs and a smaller one upstairs where the show took place. It was a great first experience going to a comedy show. I loved that they had a pretty big food menu and there were servers taking our drink and food order throughout the show. Great service! I'd definitely recommend checking out their events.Fluid510 you'll see me soon!

I came here for the Femme Fest event on Saturday 09/28 and we decided to finish off the night here for dinner before leaving. We had just missed happy hour unfortunately, but decided to go for a pizza and cocktail. We got the Mediterranean pizza which was very yummy for me; however, we chose specifically since it did not list tomato sauce, and my friend has dietary restrictions so she cannot eat that, but it ended up having tomato sauce so she was unable to have any. In hindsight we probably should have mentioned/asked about it but it also would've been nice if they had listed that. I got the berry pink cocktail which was really good and had nice fruity flavors. Service was good, we got it delivered to our table, and decor is super cute with the fun neon lighting. Vibes are really fun & friendly :)

Horrible place to see a comedy show. I would not recommend. They stuffed us into this tiny room in the back attic and placed a bar on a folding table. Everyone was talking the whole time and a bunch of people were standing in the way the whole show. One of the worst comedy experiences ever. We left early. No thanks.

Went here for an elements party. Drinks were good, vibe was great. We had a great time and will be back again
