I miss this place so much. Me and my sister went last year and the owners so kind and friendly. I loved learning about the history of this bar. All of the people here were so fun and welcoming. We were supposed to go back again this year but you know, covid. I think about this bar constantly and I hope they can open again so I can come visit. Never in my life have I had such an experience this amazing with any bar ever.

Loved this casual bar! The drinks were delicious. My favorite was the taste of lubitsch and the Moscow mule. Vodka is their specialty so hopefully you like Russian Standard in everything,

Always have a good time at Stork. My band ANISTAZI has played several times there, and really appreciate the staff, and the sound engineer, for the great job they do to make this heritage neighborhood bar a good place to be.

We saw a great band here. bartender is very personable and the crowd was great. lots of fun had here on our night out at the stork club.

Friendly punk bar that has gone a lot ttle more neighborhood in its comfortable establish years. Great Wells, friendly American terriers a sweet slice of oaklands casual bar scene with a love of all things bay area. Invasion if an owners 50th birthday the night after I had to leave town hailed burlesque over a Barbie collection and a photo booth. A bar who knows your name on the second visit, I could learn to miss it

Tom is such a sweetheart! He introduced himself to the group I arrived with and gave me a mini beer tasting when I told him how I didnt have a clue about my beer preferences. The music is not too loud and it wasnt packed (although it was Sunday evening) but Tom truly seems like a great person to be around/know.

Long tine oakland venue and bar. A hole in the wall with a good atmosphere. A variety of different people having drinks and hanging out. Smoke on the patio, listen to music, get a pbr.

Fun place to listen to music. No credit cards are accepted. The bathrooms flooded (was told it happens often). They had signs directing us to use the place next door. Feels dirty, but cool outdoor patio, I suppose.

Great bar with live music on thw weekends and great owners and bartenders and regulars.

What I like about the Stork Club:1) No cover charge2) You can see small performances here3) Centrally located near downtown/uptown Oakland4) Crowd: Diverse mix of people and ages5) Creepy Barbie dollsIts a dive bar so the seats will be sticky, walls covered with flyers and graffiti, etc. Im not sure how the price of drinks compares to others. My vodka tonics were okay, not super strong.

I went yrs ago it used to have a night when musicians in the club could come up and have a improved jam session

Its a really good venue!! Has a great feel...

This place is horrible dont book your band here. Bartender is a piece of garbage and door guy is a total perverted wastoid. Be smart and avoid this place all together.

This place has Idiot Flesh flyers hanging up. Love it

Grungy to be nice,Smoke, beer, and video games,For First Friday Nights.They host the Burlesque show featuring creepy puppets for First Friday Follies. 6 beers on tap, 2 of them dark. Reasonable prices.

Over iced over priced drinks 3.00 for a Diet Coke with so much ice you couldn’t fit the straw in. Which is a tactic to jip customers. Same with there alcohol drinks. Over iceing is the same as watering down your drinks. We are not stupid stop jipping customers.

Cheap filthy fun. There is a small place in my heart for the memories I have made here.

Ive been coming here as s musician and audience meber for 20 years.. tonight I forgot my wallet and the door boy wouldnt let me in even though Im 37 and obviously not under age. I got My wallty and returned and wasnt allOwed in because the door boy with face tattoos decided he doesnt like me. This place treats loyal customers this way.

Door boy with face tattoos and owner are terrible. Dont go to this bar there are plenty other dives that dont treat loyals and locals the way they do. This bar needs to go. I repeat do not go to this bar.

Beer selection is poor, theres a cover but the place is a dive bar at best. Prices are not any cheaper than nicer bars in the area.

Disgusting, but I still like it for the pool and the free burlesque. When slumming it for an evening, there is no place better.

A true new wave dive! A must on 1st fridays!

Some good shows happen here

Very greedy, very unhip awful filthy venue whose arrogant slogan that supports our right to party is some kind of lame smokescreen. The Stork is bringing this neighborhood down.

Wonderful crappy bar with raggedy live scraggly rock and roll poetry art performers

They only take cash... 21st century

Nerd friendly, smoking patio

The people

Hours are wrong, pinball is broken, still love it

I really like it!!!

The best home away from home

Best dive bar in Oakland.

Horrible how are you going to let me un and then kick me out for no reason bye.

Its a dive.
