Cocktails on tap like the whiskey buck are solid and affordable. Then head to the backyard to sip under the giant redwood strung with lights. This tree is so tall you can see it from blocks away.

The new Uptown Oakland spot from Ali Tahsini features a huge patio outside and concoctions include a namesake drink with Old Tom gin, rye, lime, and raspberry, and a clarified-grapefruit Paloma. Read more

Great spot to drink during First Friday's in Oakland. Ask for a cocktail menu and try the Vesper like cocktail that has vodka infused with habanero as its base.
