Located in Oakland’s historic Grand Lake District, Bardo is a neighborhood lounge and restaurant inspired by the comfort and camaraderie of a mid-century dinner party. Borrowing the celebration and elegance of old school home entertaining, we envisioned a space for our Oakland friends and neighbors to enjoy amazing food, cocktails, conversation and music.

Enjoy classics-inspired cocktails and a rotating menu of fresh, seasonal supper-fare with local and sustainably sourced meats, fish and produce. While we think the food, drinks and atmosphere are all great reasons to visit us, it’s the relationships with all of you that is the driving force behind Bardo. Bardo is a home for building, growing and sustaining community. We are committed to sharing our space and skills to keep Oakland healthy and progressive.

We are taking reservations for all seating, including in the bar and lounge. Snag a spot by clicking here. Want to sit down for a dinner party-style spread?
