I just had a very sad and racist experience here.I was outside on the patio and met a couple for a cigarette. I wanted to order them a drink because they were nice for giving me one. They asked for a double Jack and coke before going to the bathroom. I also followed behind them because I had to go as well. There was only one occupied stall so, thinking it was my new found friend, I called their name to let them know I was here. They did not answer and I found out that they left before without my knowledge. I used the gentleman’s room which one of the bouncers let me know was fine. After I went to the restroom, I ordered the double Jack and coke to which the bartender told me that I was way too inebriated to order for myself. I only had one beer that night and a glass of wine. I told her that it was just for my new found friend. She insisted that they had to order that drink themselves and she was not going to give a drink to me. I called my friend over and she decided to order two modelos . When I came back with my friend, the bartender decided to kick me out of the bar and accused me that I attacked her. My new found friend was dumbfounded and stated that she has never seen a situation like this occur before. It was very unfortunate since I have never had this experience in Oakland before. I have graduated from Bishop O’ Dowd Highschool and I also went to Cornell University. I also lived in Berlin, Germany and Italy and had never had such an experience like this before. My high school friends used to enjoy coming to this bar but will not anymore since this incident. It is very unfortunate since given such a trying time in our country.
Had a blast. I loved the patio area out back. Service is superb and the pool table was the hit of the night
We really, really liked this place. This is everything I've ever wanted from a ballpark dog x100! We had the house dog and the pastrami dog, both on pretzel bread, with a side of carne asada fries. The bread was to die for--so crunchy and delicious!! The fries were great as well. The only cons are the high price and the long wait once you order, but it's worth it.
Heart and Dagger is an institution. They run a tight ship and have been focused on the health and safety of their customers and staff the entire pandemic.Heart and Dagger is the quintisential neighbourhood bar with plenty of regulars, happy doggos, and a community of folks that make a bar great.Come through! Grab a drink, enjoy the outdoor patio, bring in some chow, and have a fun time!
Best dive bar in town!
Cool...., if your a raging alcoholic and don't like to socialize.
The heart and dagger barreled Woodford Reserve is delicious. The pool table is busy and shuts down too early, in my opinion. Friendly, courteous crowd. Experienced staff.
Your typical saloon with big drinks and big personalities. I appreciate you opening up till 2am during the week, but do you HAVE to close the back patio at 12? and what about that totally underutilized front patio? Heaps of potential to turn this into something great. Three stars.
Had a great discussion with three strangers about tequila, I don't remember much after that.
Great bar, cheap drinks, I love that they have plexi glass between the customers and the bar. It's a cool bar to catch up with old friends or meet someone new.
