I had an event at Fort Green two Thursdays ago, and everyone is STILL talking about how much fun they had! THANK YOU FORT GREEN!
When I heard that the owners of The Miranda and Drexl Bar had opened up a sports bar in Oakland, I was thrilled! If you haven't been to neither of their locations, you are TRULY missing out!

Fort Green is a fabulous addition to the Oakland area! Formerly known as the 'Go Sports Bar', the new owners have jazzed up the location and it looks bigger and better! I decided to do a Meetup Group event here so I wouldn't have to sit solo at the bar (although the bartenders are super nice and I would have had no problems). It was the fact that I wanted to share my happy hour with company and I did! March 30th my group and I (total of 42 people) came and took over the bar. I was in continuous contact with one of the owners (Nathan Johnson) that made this all possible. BIG THANK YOU! Nathan was nice enough to give me the whole back area of the bar for my group and it was such a great idea! The owners have revamped the spot, making the bar area much bigger and (nicer) as well as offers many TV's. Perfect for watching the game, fellas!
Looking for a cute sports bar to chill with amazing people, good stiff drinks and tasty food? Well, you must come here! Those wings are DELICIOUS!!! Wheww! OMG, I am surprised to hear people complain about them because my group was messin' those wings up! Need I say more? (Please, just go try them for yourself).
The bartenders are UH-MAZ-ING! When I spoke to the owner and asked for our own bartender, he replied, "Will staff accordingly". I thought to myself, "Uh oh, that doesn't sound like a yes" but I ended up having the general manager serve my group the whole night as well as a lovely staff named Kat! They were phenomenal and handled the big group very well! Thank you!!
Did I mention those stiff drinks? Oh lord! Yes! Did I really think I was driving home that night? HAHA! Nope! Those drinks made it IMPOSSIBLE! My favorite? Summer's Over for the win, people! Yesss! Those drinks are everything. Take my advice and thank me later. (Smiles)
I am crushin' on this new bar and I must admit, I see a lot of cuties walking in here after work (wink-wink). I may need to become a regular! Only time will tell. Thank you, Fort Green and BIG thank you to the owner, Nathan, for making this possible!
I shall return!
