District Oakland - (Near Oakland, CA)

3 /5 Greg S: Nice vibe in the downtown Oakland area. We came in for dinner on a Saturday evening. The space is dark with high open ceiling and a large U shaped bar that appears to be a big draw. There were a couple good sized parties on one side when we came in. They seated us at one of the high tops on the other side. Seating is pretty equally low tops and high tops here, plus the bar. Our server was ok. Nothing spectacular, but got the job done. We appreciate that in this particular economy, District offers a dinner for 2 for $35 at this time. We had the arugula salad, lamb meatballs, and then a pizza. It was all good but be needed to add another small plate of the arancini to fill us up.

4 /5 Camila Hayter: Came for Happy hour and enjoyed the tacos & Marg deal, plus half off oysters and fries which were all so good! We walked in around 530pm and wouldve liked to hear the music playing just a touch louder, like a chill neo-soul vibe to help unwind from the work day. Felt like we could hear others chatting around us, but other than that its always a good experience at District. Bar tender was great, food came out quick and hot :) Will be back again soon!

5 /5 Ivan A Young: I visited during happy hour and had fresh oysters and a flight of wine. Great open space, tasty food, well curated wines and best of all fantastic service. Highly recommended

5 /5 Hunter Gunari: I had an awesome night at District Oakland—definitely one of the better dining experiences I’ve had in a while. We sat at the bar and were lucky to have Teddy taking care of us. He was quick, super friendly, funny, and just had great energy overall. You could tell he actually enjoyed what he was doing, which made the whole vibe that much better. Teddy gave us spot-on recommendations for everything we ordered. The margherita pizza came out perfectly blistered with fresh basil and gooey cheese—simple but done right. The burrata with prosciutto and crostini was rich and flavorful, and the spinach arancini with that tomato sauce might have been the sleeper hit of the night. Everything came out fast, hot, and delicious. Also, gotta say—the Prosecco Teddy recommended was probably the best I’ve ever had. Crisp, refreshing, and way better than anything I’ve been served at most restaurants. Service was on point from start to finish. I’ll definitely be back soon, and I’ll be asking for Teddy again.

3 /5 Josh Harkinson: We have been visiting District for many years. We love the crowd and ambiance, and the happy hour generously goes until 7 pm. The 2 for 1 oysters used to be a great deal, but unfortunately on the last 2 visits the quality of the oysters has been poor—creamy instead of briny. Also, $8 for a beer isn’t a great “happy hour” price. They were busy on the last visit but they need to pay attention to quality and value.
