Odin

"Another established Mexican favorite in Oakland, offering a variety of traditional Mexican dishes." - Alan Chazaro

"Representing California’s Bay Area is Odin, a hip mezcalería and restaurant. Led by mezcal expert Hugo González, its agave-forward bar program features sotol and mezcal-based cocktails along with exclusive mezcal selections from Maestros del Mezcal." - Dylan Ettinger

"If you’ve ordered a mezcal margarita at any point in the last month, there’s a very good chance you’ll want to become a regular at Odin. The mezcalería has an impressive collection of over 300 agave spirits, plus excellent cocktails, mezcal flights, and a Happy Hour with a mezcal special of the day. Odin is a rebrand of the Mexican restaurant Nido, and they're serving light Mexican shareable plates, like queso fundido, quesadillas, and asada tacos. Odin’s interiors are dark and sexy, with slate-colored walls, hand-shaped chairs, and long church pews. It’s exactly where you want to be sitting while drinking chilled coupes filled with tequila, chilis, and orange bitters." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
