The slightly subterranean vibe of The Golden Squirrel gives the place a cool that feels good on a warm Oakland day. The food is commendable and plentiful. A good selection of beer—both bottled and on tap—adds to the positives of the place.

Super friendly owner and staff and patrons, too. Love the Warriors projected on the big wall. Cocktails and beer selection is extensive and good. Will fake mustaches be available every night???
This place and the staff are awesome! The food was very tasty. I had the grilled salmon and fiance had the fish & chips. Both dishes were tasty, and the squirrel fries are really unique, but tasty. Really check this place out!
The service and food were great. I had the burger and it was perfectly cooked and juicy, fries taste homemade: yummy! Don't forget to try the fried pickles! Whenever I am in the area I now have a new favorite place to stop for a drink and a bite!
Great vibe and excellent beer and wine options on tap. The Golden Squirrel is a revelation and will make this neighborhood great again. I also like that they take the Discover card.
Stopped by today for lunch with a buddy. Will miss Barclays, but the Squirrel is clearly focused on their food. Great wings, and a delicious fried chicken sandwich. Classy feel, good TVs, wide open patio space. When they get their liquor license worked out, I'll give it six stars! Support the Squirrel in the meantime!
Great vibe and food to match. It's the kind of place you could go for lunch or go out to after work. It's actually a good thing their liquor license hasn't come through yet, because I might have just stayed all weekend long.
Food was delicious. Great hamburger and I really enjoyed the wings. Big selection of beer. Very friendly staff. I will be back!
Travis is an ace behind the bar and a world class hangover repair man. Go see him and get a bloody maria, extra hot! Good staff and great atmosphere for a swell brunch.
Really fantastic! Baby/stroller/high chair friendly. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and it was one of the best I've had. My husband said the same about his corned beef hash! And did I mention the "build your own Bloody Mary?" Yes please!
I'm so excited that this location is back at it! Great staff and the menu is amazing! Customized bloody Mary's and great atmosphere! Can't wait to go back next weekend😀🥂
Really incredible what you have done to improve the space. Really clean and cozy vibe and a great place to also watch a game in Rockridge!
Johnny was a great bartender! Went in after a rough day visiting at hospital all day and watched the Warriors on big screen handle business! Busy, but worth it.
Lively crowd and big screens for watching the game. Huge selection of fresh better on tap. Modern pub food that's both creative and satisfying. Friendly wait staff. Squirrels. What's not to love!
Fun place with lots of seating. Staff was nice, food was good. Wasn't dead, but also no crowded when I came in for dinner on a weekday. Looking forward to coming back for a drink some time!
Great service. I cannot emphasize enough how good those people are who work there. Good drinks, too
Delicious food. Fun & attentive service. Awesome patio!
We had a great time. The food was great, the drink choices were amicable. But the staff treated us like family. We had a great time, met some fun people, played games and had an enjoyable evening at The Golden Squirrel. So much that we came back the following night to do it again!
