Food Scene

There are 5 high end but affordable restaurants. I highly recommend Bdama which is a Japanese counter restaurant. Drink wise there is everything from free wine tastings to 3$ IPA's during happy hour.

Restaurant and Tiki bar. Run by Susan who makes some of the best Tiki drinks around, all of which are inspired by her world travels. She is also a master rum taster so her selection of rum is unreal.

Best ramen in the bay area. No joke. I flew home from Tokyo and tried this ramen and I felt it was exactly the same (without the cool atmosphere of Tokyo). Try the Black Tonkatsu Ramen.

Lake Chalet is on Lake Merritt and has a bar on a doc which extends out onto the lake with ample seating. Great for brunch, or a beer on a warm day.

Best Korean bar/restaurant in Oakland. Get a group together, buy a few bottles of Soju for cheap, and pour each other shots all night while snacking on kimchi pancakes and honey wings. Fantastic time.
