Gold Palm

Had the chance to visit the Gold Palm at Happy Hour Friday. I was skeptical with the order at the counter set up, but it worked perfectly. The food was amazing. Great diversity in dishes, perfectly seasoned and yummy options. We sat at the bar and had a few cocktails. The service at the bar was excellent. Our food came out quickly and we were very happy. We visited the attached speakeasy for a nightcap. Mood and drinks were stellar. Bartender and Bouncer were friendly and funny. Check it out!

Love this new spot in Oakland. Came from SF to try-it out. Great small plate food options for family style eating, really well balanced cocktails and super friendly staff. It’ll be my new meetup spot for any shows at the Fox. There is also a door at the back that leads into a separate space , darker lit speakeasy called moon glow.

500 Stars! Wow I love Gold Palm!! It’s fantastic! The staff is super friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. The drinks are amazing, easily some of the best I’ve had. The atmosphere is great, but seriously, the staff really stands out!!!They’re so attentive and kind. Highly recommend!

We decided to try Gold Palm on opening night before seeing a show, having heard about it and loved the space when it was Palmetto. My partner and I each had two different cocktails, so we were able to cover most of the cocktail menu, and four of the non-meat small plates (mushroom skewers, veggie samosas, cheese toastie, cucumber salad, and masala fries). The cocktails were all 4.3 to 4.7 on my subjective scale, delicious and unpretentious, while thoughtfully sourced and purposefully crafted. The food was also exceptional. The only ding I would give them is that the cost/amount ratio on the mushrooms seemed off. There are delicious and well crafted small plate mushroom dishes at bars throughout the Bay Area that give you much more food for your money. It’s possible there’s a particular reason why this one is different, but alas. The other four dishes we had were very good to divine, particular given their saucy accompaniments (their ranch is easily one of the best in the Bay, very dill forward). If you like great cocktail programs and shareable small plates, it’s a must go.

Might have been an off night, staff was amazing and nice, food was horrible Chicken skewers were, VERY bland. Toasty “grilled cheese” was burned, no lots of flavor. Chicken samosa tasted like they were fried twice over. Drinks were good. Very dissatisfied and disappointed esp coming from an Eater recommendation.

Tasty Pakistani snacks, great drinks, including inventive n/a options, in the space formerly occupied by Palmetto and Flora. The team from Bar Shiru has brightened up the space and brought along their unique playlist.

Freaking fantastic!! All things paired phenomenally together with the utmost care and concern for the patron! Mani and Hasani and the staff are magnificent, skilled, and offer a comprehensive dinning experience !!!!!! Can’t wait to come back.

Great good, tasty cocktails. Love the size of everything, perfect for trying several options at once. The vibe in here is really cool. Lovely addition to the neighbourhood and Oakland.
