Laurel Lounge

hella cool vibe definitely a local love and locals that are given first priority, which they should be bartenders are cute and really great customer service

Great bartenders. Great neighborhood haunt.You never know what will happen at the LL.

Bartender on Tuesday night was courteous. Stopped by after to work on my way home. Nice Soul / Funk music on the Jukebox, pool table and sports on the TVs.Can't ask for more.

Neighborhood spot with cheap drinks and pool tables. Not a destination bar, but cool for a beer or a game if you're in the area.

After a hearty meal at DeVaughn's, we asked for a recommendation to lounge. Glad we were introduced to Charles at Laurel!For health and safety, they have an outdoor seating area, adequately spaced apart from other tables. The ground is appropriately covered, decorated with plants, and properly sheltered. Signage clearly states that you must order food with a beverage so Lisa got us the brisket fries. Paired nicely with the celebratory beverage that Charles made for us. #ThankYou Charles and have a great weekend!

Came here couple times when I was just strolling down the street and needed a place to hide myself and this place happened to be across the street from where I was standing I thought I'd try it since I didn't have anything better to do. But I tell you, this is where all the local around that area goes to I believe. Everybody is so friendly. Staff and the people who's just there to get some dranks. I enjoyed the fact that everybody knew each other and even though it was my first time, they made me feel safe just by engaging with these people, all the OGs talking shit to eachother, about each other's really made me feel like I was home. I go here when I don't want to feel like I am the stranger . I love this place and would def recommend when you want to go to new place yet not want to feel like a stranger.

There are great people at this bar ! Left my purse last night someone returned and everything is inside still. Also this bar makes some pretty great drinks. Highly recommended

So i always seen this Lounge for years, this is one of the areas i grew up in and this place has been here forever! I decided to stop by Monday night to watch the Raider game! Not disappointed at all!As soon as i walked in it felt more like home then many of the other bars i go to! No offense, for those bars are cool too but this was #RealOakland as we would put it! They had the Jukebox playing, most of the crowd was older so we had 70s vibe going on, all good wit me! It is a small bar but plenty of screens to watch the game on!My bartender was helpful and chill, he certainly knew nearly everyone there. He knew who wanted what and how they wanted it! He played the music on commercials and halftime, people were singing and def having a great time, i mean the Raiders won!!!! This maybe a new spot for me to check out the games on a Monday night! I am sure it wont be the same if the Raiders aren't playing but it was a good first experience to get me back!!!

This is a clean neighborhood bar full of friendly people that serve some great beer on tap. Though I don't spend much time hanging out in the neighborhood bars, The first time I've visited here was to see if I could hang up a poster of my stolen motorcycle. I was invited to sit down and beers were purchased for me by the people at the bar! How nice is that? I returned weeks later to take down the sign and the bartender had me sit down, poured me a beer and tell him the story about what happened to the motorcycle. They do play music and it's not too loud. And anytime you work past this bar there might be people smoking outside but they are always friendly and smile.

Much could be said about this place. 1 in particular is this place is definitely a watering hole for an array of different people from all ages and races. That's always a huge plus. I attended because of its proximity to my home. Anyway, not the best place for gal and her girls unless your a regular. The "Regulars" hateeeeeee fresh faces that push up on there territory. I wont be back unless I get desperate and that's even a stretch cause in any case I'll drink my alcohol inside the confines of my own 4 walls. Aside from the horrible experience that could have easily landed me in the slammer, the bartender was quite accommodating to us as newbies. The drinks were great, the few random conversations we started amoungst our group and other bar patrons, all worth the night
