Prizefighter — Restaurant in Emeryville

Delicious drinks but pricey. All of them were starting at $15. I think that's super overpriced. Unless you get beer, which is about $8 starting. They don't have food except for one offering a night. This night was $4 tamales. Super overpriced. They were frozen and microwaved. Literally a piece of string cheese and slice of bell pepper in the cheese one. I'm Mexican, so that was highly offensive lol. I did have the most delicious watermelon drink. Tasted like a jolly rancher in the best way. Just watermelon juice, vodka and lime. I don't know what else was in it, but I could've drank those all night. Except they were $15 each, so I only had one. This is a small place so seating is limited but you can make reservations. Nice environment. A locals kind of place in the now gentrified Oakland.... so sad. But I did enjoy myself. Just way...

We recently visited Prizefighter cocktail bar on our way home, and it turned out to be a delightful detour! The cocktails were so enticing that instead of just one, we ended up ordering two each. The selection of liquor was impressive, and the cocktail menu was both creative and intriguing.

My personal favorite was the Pink Cashmere – a beautifully crafted drink that balanced flavors perfectly. It’s definitely a must-try! While the bartender was decent, I felt there was room for more engagement, but it didn’t detract much from the overall experience.

The atmosphere was lively, enhanced by great music that set the perfect backdrop for a fun evening. Overall, Prizefighter is a fantastic spot for cocktail enthusiasts. I can’t wait to return and explore more...

Top 4 nominee for the 2015 Tales of the Cocktail Spirit Awards? Indeed, Prizefighter definitely goes toe to toe with some of the best bars in East Bay. While their menu is fantastic, ask their bartenders whats good. Their knowledge and enjoyment of their craft shows in every single drink they pour.

Lacking on the food side, there are snacks but a long stay here will get you hungry. Thankfully you can get Pizza down the street. Stay a while and listen to the crowd. Best seats in the house are always going to be front row watching the bartenders. With a decent beer selection to go with the cocktails, you can't go wrong here.

Did I mention the Ice? That is proper attention to detail. While they may not have won at Tales, I wouldn't ever write off...
