Bar tender served us flat champagne and when I told him he said “I know” and did not offer a new glass —said they change it out every 48

- overpriced drinks - why am I paying $35 for a shot and a seltzer?- fight broke out at the club the second we got in , the crowd was much younger and not very sophisticated- paid a $20 cover for music you can’t dance to. Overall not a great experience. If you’re looking be to have a good time, def recommend another club with Afrobeat or better music.

I love to set up an atmosphere.

Great service, great drinks & decent prices. The food was also amazing, came here with my girlfriend's once & we will be returning.

Good drinks and even better vibes. Onyx makes the best Hennessy sidecars. If you are out in Oakland, you need to be here.

I came here to grab some drinks before a show at the Fox Theater and I definitely recommend! Drinks are around $10-$15 but they are strong and delicious. Danny was such a helpful mixologist and took the time to provide recommendations. The ambiance was very relaxed with a comic boom theme. Thank you!

Went here after a concert at the Fox Theater. Nice vibe, cool music, good drinks. Crowd was 20s-30s mostly and very chill, just out to have a good time. Parking is always a challenge. We parked a few blocks away & had a nice walk to and fro.

Fun cocktails and the bartenders are friendly! It was pretty quiet when we went (around 7-10PM) but I imagine it picks up later. The patio was nice, but not super well lit

Met some friends here before going to a show at Fox theatre. The place is bigger than it seems from the outside with two loft areas for seating. To be fair it was dead for a Monday but there was a pop up Mexican food inside which was pretty tasty. The place was decorated all Halloween themed and the staff were pretty friendly. The bar gave off a really cool vibe and I would imagine this place gets pretty packed on the weekends. The Bart is also conveniently located across the street for easy access to those SF folk.

Cool spot in downtown Oakland! Comic book themed but don't have to be into comic books to enjoy the vibe. It was empty on a Monday night! We stopped in before seeing a show at fox theater. We ordered food from the neighboring restaurant and that was really good. Highly recommend the quesadillas! Very spacious would be fun on a weekend!
They have their signature drinks and the bar tender knows exactly what they're doing! Very chill ambiance and some strong drinks !!

My friend and I went there for happy hour on the roof deck. The bartender virtually ignored us although there were only two customers in the giant space. He pointed out the stairs to the roof deck, never gave us menus and when we came down, first to get menus, and then drinks, would not bring the drinks upstairs. He was so rude that we left,which is too bad because we live in the neighborhood and although we are older like to go out for dinner and drinks.

Recently joined a couple of colleagues after work on a Monday for cocktails at First Edition. It was our first time there and we each got two drinks (one with mezcal and the other was their version of a Manhattan). We were the only ones there for most of the time so we didn't get a chance to see a more "true" vibe, but the ambiance was cool and the drinks were great. We ordered some chips, salsa, and guacamole that were also really good, although it was weird that we had to order (and pay for) that completely separately from the drinks. My only knock was the fact that, despite no one being there but us, we still had to go to the bar to order. Would have been nice to get table service but still enjoyed our brief time there.

Overall, It was a pretty good bar. I went on a Thursday and they only had one bartender, so service was kind of slow, other than the wait the drinks were good.
