I really like this Mediterranean restaurant. The staff is so friendly, the food great, they have hookahs that you can rent on the front patio, belly dancers on Saturdays (I think). Good time.

This place looks like a gnar-gnar hole in the wall from the outside but inside it is all classic wood paneling, fun modern decor, soft lighting, tastefully quiet music. Very chill.

Can totally morph depending on the time/day/crowd. It's like a blank canvas, which is why I love the Art Bar and Lounge name, as it truly applies. One of the most diverse crowds in Oakland.
