Welcome to Penelope!
We’re a friendly bar/cafe located in beautiful sunny Downtown Oakland on the corner of Clay Street and 11th Street next to It’s a Grind coffee shop. We specialize in fine spirits (whiskeys, tequilas, rums), specialty beers, and cocktails utilizing fresh seasonal ingredients.
In addition to great drinks, we also offer a delicious selection of sandwiches, soups, and salads.
But most of all, we specialize in awesomeness.
