Because this group is broad, judging a listing on freshness, turnover and how consistent recent reviews are tends to work better than judging by decor or price range alone. Most kitchens in Oakland will adjust a dish for common dietary needs like gluten-free or vegetarian if you ask when ordering. Hours vary widely: diners and fast-food chains often stay open late or around the clock, while bakeries and cafes tend to open early and close mid-afternoon. Catering and food delivery businesses in California usually require advance notice, from a day for a small order up to a week or more for a large event, so it is worth contacting them early.

Hours are published for 5 days a week. On most of those days it is open 6 pm–12 am. Note that it does not open on Monday, Sunday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach Cafe Van Kleef at (510) 763-7711; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. More information is available on its website, cafevankleef.net.

Customers rate it 4.6 out of 5 on Google across 1,003 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded bars & pubs in Oakland.

Oakland is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Oakland follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

While Cafe Van Kleef is ok, there is nothing noteworthy about it other than, apparently, not getting a Manhattan. The friends I was there with warned me that every time someone orders one they end up with a different variation and it's never an actual Manhattan. Of course they only warned me about it after I had ordered one. The proportions were off and it ended up including a half ounce or so of maraschino cherry liquid.

Great spot to chill out and meet up with friends! I see something different hidden every time I go. Wondering what I’d see next time. Great bartenders drinks & Security staff too!

This spot is something special. The atmosphere is really what makes it stand outβ€”it’s lively, welcoming, and just a great place to hang out for a while. You can tell it’s the kind of place locals probably come back to again and again. Honestly, I’d be surprised if you found a better vibe anywhere else. Just a quick heads-up though: they don’t serve food here. It’s definitely more about the drinks and the atmosphere than sitting down for a full meal. Once you know that going in, it actually makes the whole experience feel more relaxed. You just show up, enjoy the space, and have a good time. It’s the kind of place that makes you wish you lived nearby so you could stop by whenever you felt like it.

Such a cool dive. Best greyhound anywhere. Great ambiance and place to have a conversation over drinks.

Danielle Edited 11 months ago

dive bar vibes. not a bad thing but atmosphere was definitely different from shiru next door which is more my speed so i felt a bit out of place. i wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible. because it was a bit overstimulating. the grapefruit drink was good (and pulpy). $10 drink in n out wasn’t bad but i could have skipped it. i see the appeal but it just wasn’t for me.
