Dine in Oakland

Viridian

Contemporary Asian-American

Miles from Executive Inn

Viridian
V

iridian is Uptown Oakland's sleek, neon-lit cocktail bar, and one of the most decorated drinking spots in the Bay — a regular on Esquire, Forbes, and Tales of the Cocktail best-bar lists. Bar director William Tsui, a Lazy Bear alum, builds farm-to-glass cocktails around hyper-seasonal produce, with the savory, tomato-forward Tomato Beef as the signature pour. The food is no afterthought either: the Szechuan salt and pepper wings have been called the best in Oakland, and the umami tots disappear fast. Picture pulsing music, paper lanterns, and a psychedelic glow — equal parts Wong Kar-wai film set and stylish late-night hang. A standout for date night or a memorable evening out.
