Not long ago, a renaissance of art, food, beverage and a plethora of eager small businesses began transforming this neighborhood, giving like-minded creatives, chefs, artists and entrepreneurs, a place to hone their craft. The preservation of historic landmarks, a rich history of political activism and an active art scene lends itself to a culture of civic pride bringing diverse activity to the heart of Oakland.

Parlour is the sibling of, neighboring, Bar 355, who's owners dreamed of a restaurant with a "seasonal, chef-driven menu". Italian inspired plates made from California fresh ingredients with local and international wine offerings make an evening at Parlour - feel good delicious. The wood-fired oven scent and folksy art help you cozy up to a craft cocktail or local brew. And if daylight is your only chance, cafe hours keep the bar hoppin', especially if you want your coffee shaken not stirred.
