We hosted a large milestone birthday at Acme Bar and Co and I can’t say enough about it. The team was so amazing and kind and easy to work with in the planning phase. Our guests loved the venue – the flow from the main bar to back patio to back building is great and creates 3 distinct and intimate feeling zones. The day of bar tender staff were great. Cocktails superb. We created a dance floor inside at the end and it was nothing short of perfect. 10/10 — highly recommend this place for any party or event rental

This place is one of the best whisky bars I’ve ever been to. They have a phenomenal selection across styles and ages, including some rare releases from closed down distilleries, or some vintage bottles you can enjoy as cocktails. The staff are super welcoming. The bar is relaxed and if you didn’t look at the drinks closely, you might think it’s a dive bar (in the best possible way). Definite recommend for a chance to try some special drinks.

While looking for a place to learn how to enjoy whiskey, I stumbled upon this place, for the second time, (forget what it was 30 years ago)
Is the epitome of a warm cozy spot. Super friendly staff, informative about whiskey, great clientele, and decent prices all make for one great experience. I will be back!

Jennifer is a great host, and the venue is absolutely beautiful, featuring two sparkling chandeliers and a hallway lined with game spaces. Located right in the heart of Berkeley, it offers plenty of liquor options and is easy to set up—perfect for happy hours, student mixers, and social events for both professionals and students. We highly recommend this gem for anyone looking to create lasting memories with friends, family, and classmates!

Around six months before we got married in Berkeley in August, we started reaching out to possible welcome party venues for the night before the big day. We wanted to find a place that would allow for outside food at a reasonable cost, provide quality drinks for a fair price, and has a nice access-controlled event space on premises. As someone who has run a number of large events previously, I know well that this task can be somewhere between tough and impossible. The minute one uses the term “wedding” to any vendor, costs can go way up. Or venues can charge exorbitant fees for space reservations, or have minimum spends that are crazy. And, honestly, it is really hard to simply find venues that allow for outside food.
So we started the search, and emailed venues throughout the East Bay area (Oakland, Berkeley, Emeryville, Albany, Alameda), At first, the only possible venues I could find were craft brewing establishments. The one with the best location for us charged a lot for space reservation, and for a space that was not access controlled, and without our own dedicated bar. So, in effect, we would be paying thousands for a craft beer spot to a few “reserved” signs on some random tables for us. Suffice to say, we were starting to get discouraged.
Then, after another internet search, I found a listing for Acme Bar in west Berkeley. Having never been there before (it has been a few years since I have lived in the East Bay), I asked around and realized that it’s a pretty cool bar with good service and great drinks. We checked in out in person, and was pretty impressed with the available event space. But our greatest surprise was when we actually emailed Acme, and got to know the owner of the bar. She must have had a previous life as an event planner or something, cause she was amazing. The prices she quoted were quite fair, and she helped identify possible outside food vendors that met our needs. She helped arrange special drinks for our event, which ended up being really tasty. The beer selection we ended up having was top notch as well, as was the wine selection. We arranged for our own dedicated space on a Friday evening, with our own bar. She helped identify our needs for us, and went out of her way – along with her great staff – to ensure we had a great event.
Some of my friends are quite experienced with events, and others are pretty hard to please, and everyone had a great time. The price quoted was on target, and there were absolutely no surprises, price-wise. I have never been more satisfied with a venue, or had a better event for the price. Working with Acme was, in two words, both fair and fun. We highly recommend working with them – you will not be disappointed.

Very cool spot with great specialty cocktails. They use fresh-squeezed orange juice and even smoke their own ingredients for the drinks. Awesome atmosphere and definitely worth a visit!

Terrence was the absolute best bartender, the drinks were perfect, and the vibe there was great. Wish I lived in the bay just to hang at this bar. 10/10

It takes a lot to impress me if all you serve is drinks. This place was perfect. They knew their product, friendly, great neighborhood feel. Their house specialty cocktails were great. I had the wildcat and a mole mescaline shot. I could see hope this is most people’s favorite neighborhood secret. Amazing drinks, amazing staff, great prices, great ambiance!!! Definitely a must do.

I have been here 3 times now. First time I didn’t stay, too loud on a Friday night and it was busy, not the vibe I was looking for. I have been with friends and my spouse, feels like a better friend spot than date night unless you want something less romantic. Overwhelming whisk(e)y selection, and that is nice. Staff are super friendly and make good drinks. Not a large beer selection, but what they do have is good.
Happy hour deals are killer.
