The Oakland

The Oakland is a friendly neighborhood bar serving world-class drinks in a nostalgic and elegant environment, in the heart of downtown Ferndale, Michigan. The Oakland has been recognized as a leader in cocktail creation and bar hospitality in the Detroit area, including being named the best bar in suburban Detroit by Hour Magazine in each year of its existence as well as one of America's best bars by Esquire Magazine. The Oakland's bar program features one of the region's best American whiskey selections, including many rare offerings and several private barrel bottlings. Artisan mezcal, innovative ingredients and flavor combinations, and the facilitation of fun are focuses we take very seriously.
