“ Always playing great music while having unique and great tasting cocktails and delicious selection of appetizers and main courses! Great for date night, small festivities or a quick bite! Their Signature burger is a must try ”
“ Oh the ambiance! Matched by the uniquely fantastic cocktail list that will entertain and satisfy. Friendly staff as the bar manager kindly answered my random questions about the drinks and didn’t the staff mind that we were at the bar for 4 hours and didn’t order too much. Very fancy tater tots. ”
“ cute bar but yall...we gotta hire more people! idk if management is cheap or just not the brightest bulb in the pack but it's too busy to have one hostess/waitstaff. like it was a wednesday and it was clearly understaffed. they probably got he11a tips though so good for them! food was yummy and so were the drinks but babes. enough with the shrinkflation. 18 for approximately 2 drops of an espresso martini like girl. i know it's the bay but like be so fr rn. but they give you he11a tater tots so like it all evens out in the end. there's super cute seating but it's a tight space so you can definitely eavesdrop on your neighbors' conversation about her third divorce so that's a plus for sure. and honestly area isn't too bad for oakland. parked my car outside and wasn't too worried about it but i wouldn't wanna stray more than few blocks late at night ”
“ Amazing spot for a great cocktail and the best tots I've had in a long time. Great service too, and the atmosphere is really fun. This would be a perfect spot for a date. I didn't catch the name of my cocktail but it was the mezcal Japanese melon liquor, and it was 10/10. ”
“ This place is amazing. Best cocktail I've had anywhere in a long time - the Hawaiian Punch. Dog friendly and good food! ”
“ this was a nice, low lit environment for causal food and drinks with either friends or dates. it had the added touch of having books for purchase (or just to look at) which was fun and provided a side activity mid-dinner. the staff made it an even better experience by being so kind and patient. also, they gave some tasty food and drink recommendations. i will definitely consider going back again and again! (i do hope they have heated outdoor seating one day...) ”
“ Just when i thought there wasn’t a new favorite we found North Light! Food was great ( burger and rigatoni), nice cocktail, (baby grand) and some mezcal- definitely going back soon. Nice vibe and surrounded by books and music- what is better? ”
“ Lovely spot, perfect for a quiet date night. Mostly patio seating (could use more heaters, definitely make a reservation). Delicious drinks (love!!! The spice runner served warm), yummy vegan tater tots. Chill servers. ”
