Reviews for Tribune Tavern in Oakland, CA
Great ambience. Nice ambience and quick service. The food was great and I enjoyed my drink as well. The menu is on the pricier... side though. Read more
Not happy with the food or the price. Ordered the Calamari appetizer which is a staple at restaurants all around the country. ... You normally know what you're going to get even if the chef gets fancy. Here my plate showed up and I had to take out my phoneand use the light to find the calamari. There were very few of them buried within a ton of peppers and onions and other stuff Icouldn't identify, but worse - they were half the size of a penny. Calling them bite size would be an extreme exaggeration. They forgot my side of tavern fries and when I eventually got them they had zero flavor. I went home hungry. My colleagues gotthe mussels and they looked good so maybe I just picked the wrong dish, but at the prices for tavern food I am really turned offand will not return. Also it is impossible to have a conversation in this place due to the acoustics. You can converse withthe person next to you if you yell and listen closely, but I could not hear a single word from the person on the other side ofthem. Read more
I'm glad they reopened. Came here for a holiday party. Appetizers were simple, but it fit the budget. Loved the mixed drinks.... The best part was the excellent service. The nicest, most helpful servers. Read more

Nice upscale place in middle of downtown Oakland. Was told that it's the same office where Oakland Tribune was located. The... burrata was awesome but my "Curry Family"cocktail was super awesome. I'd your like coconuty, milky drink, you'll love it... Read more
Had lunch and experienced excellent customer service. The food was good too. A bit on the pricey side, but made up for by the... wait staff. Read more
Had a great dinner there last night for the re-opening. Gin is one of my things, had the 'Lances' Gin Tonic' and the shrimp... cocktail. Had the mussels which weren't all gross and big like a lot of mussels are, and came with a great sauce, and then thecrispy chicken which was done in a German style, along with a Zinfandel and a Carmenere I quite enjoyed. I'll be back. Read more
Nice patio seating. Good drink choices. Decent menu, but not outstanding for the price. Support Local Businesses!
