About

Bar: Full bar

Think of a lounge where you can catch a drag show, then belt out karaoke an hour later. That's Summer Bar & Lounge, an intimate Oakland spot that's more Cabaret than club. It's LGBTQ+ owned and pulls a mixed crowd of 20-somethings who come for the scantily clad go-go boys, the live music, and the open mic nights.

The full bar keeps things simple, but the real draw is the rotating entertainment lineup. Check their schedule before you go; Friday and Saturday nights run until 2am. They also offer free rent for birthday parties and private events, so you can book the space for your own celebration.
