this place is called “night heron” after nycticorax nycticorax, the iconic pelecaniform that by now is surely well-known as the official bird of the city of oakland. this choice in name is, i would theorize, because the owners of the establishment want you to believe that it is some kind of timeless local institution. real ones know that the black-crowned night heron was not even declared oakland’s official bird until 2019. (it does deserve this designation, if anyone was wondering — they’re pretty cool little guys — but that’s neither here nor there.) indeed, night heron (the bar) has actually only been here since 2023, and i have an unfortunate distrust of newer businesses. i am reluctant to admit just how good the cocktails are, but, dear reader, my commitment to integrity compels me: they’re yummy. everything i have tried so far is both inventive and hella drinkable, i am afraid. the cost is also not out of control for what you’re getting, and proximity to bart makes this a really nice place to close out a night before heading home. the fact they have little games lying around for you to play is weird and dumb, but i think i like it. i think weird and dumb can be good. i DO want to sip on a moderately fancy drink while playing connect four, actually, and i’m glad you asked. in fact, i think they should add more games; this bar would benefit from fully embracing that aspect of its character. the aesthetic direction has grown on me — the first time i came in here, i kind of just straight up didn’t like it. i felt like it was too bright and incoherently colorful. but the more i have thought about “weird and dumb” as an aspirational descriptor, the more i’ve decided i’m into it. i do like color, and being able to see the person you’re with is nice, it turns out. over time, i believe this place could work on dialing up its maximalist leanings and genuinely become the local fixture it seems to want to be.

We stopped in because this place is located across the street from the Fox Theater and we were seeing a concert. What a terrific find. Fantastic cocktails, wonderful bartenders, and you can order food from a Japanese restaurant next door and they deliver it to you at the bar. Enjoyed a wonderful bento box with gyoza, seaweed salad, and fried chicken.

Was strolling the Ave and walked passed this place. I did peak in as I walked by but thought “ooh pretty dead for a Friday”. Something told me swing back and head in. I took a seat at the bar where there were already 2 seperate groups on away from each other. A cool chill lad approach me and made me feel welcome and handed the bar menú. I glanced and opted for the Áloe Margarita which was light, fresh and much needed.
After leaving me drink, the nice lad told me his name Danny and saw he already had a lot of kudos on the reviews. Def recommend this place.

Always have a great time here. They are the best duo bartender. Also, you can order food from the next door.

Wanted a nice well made cocktail or two before a show at the Fox. Sat at the bar for 15 minutes watching them serve everyone but me – so I left. Seemed to make some creative cocktails for everyone but me. Weird. Was in a good mood when I entered – not so much 15 min later. I’m not a person who begs bartenders for service. If they don’t want my business – their loss.

Atmosphere top tier but service was awful and not welcoming. Grab an over priced cocktail somewhere else.

I recently reserved the Partial Lounge at the Night Heron for a surprise birthday party. This was the PERFECT place for my event. Everyone that attended loved the Night Heron. This place is perfect for an event. The partial lounge area is welcoming, seats are very comfortable, great open space to move around and mingle in, everyone can hear each other comfortably, drinks were DELICIOUS, bartenders were SO NICE, and food was very tasty. The decor of the place is also really modern and nice. We will be coming here often. Thank you to the kind owner of the Night Heron who helped me with my reservation.
