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.

Please contact us to reserve our space for your next business party, casual get-together, or just drop on by to say “hi!”
