Z Cafe & Bar — Restaurant in Oakland

Classy - beautiful bar, restaurant and building - safe - welcoming- outstanding drinks, food and top shelf service. These are some of the best qualities I think of when I think of Z’s or describe the location to others. This is a hometown-classy, relaxed bar that is just beautifully decorated inside, from top to bottom. Elegant and welcoming. The staff is just as welcoming and remember your name and drink! There are plenty of seats throughout the restaurant and even some outside. Any drink you can think of, they will make it and BOOM, it’ll be amazing too! Their bartenders are good mixologists. Refreshing and delicious. Now; their food….ohhhhh weeeee, all of it is delicious! Their wings are always on point and the sliders too! The good thing is on different days, they have different deals so you can try everything on their menu. Their bread and butter is always fresh! Literally. I would see them drop the bread off fresh every morning to the restaurant. They offer their restaurant and services for venues and events and I HIGHLY encourage you to have your future parties held at Z’s. Whether you just want to get away for a drink or two and sit while people watching or involved in a conversation or just relaxing you will want to come hang at Z’s and I promise this will be your new hangout. Easily located on the corner of 28th and Broadway, there is plenty of parking on both 28th and 27th, but just as anywhere in the Bay Area, please be mindful and lock your cars and do not leave valuables in your car.

I live in Arizona but my husband and I are from the Bay Area. We decided to have my husband's 40th birthday party in the Bay so all of our family and friends could attend. I knew nothing about this cafe other than what I could gather from my Google search. I contacted the owner Mehdi and he responded quickly with a quote and a sample menu. He made the process so easy for me. You can tell he's a busy man but he always took the time I needed to answer my questions. I decided to go forward with having the party there sight unseen...very scary for a visual person and planner like me! I walked into the cafe for the first time 30 minutes before the party was scheduled to start... and it was absolutely beautiful in there! I was so pleased and relieved! The lighting was just right and the ambience was perfect! All my guests enjoyed the food and the drinks from the bar. Our bartender Pia (I hope I spelled it correctly) was amazing! I will definitely come back to have other private gatherings there...
