Shame on me for not posting a review of this place earlier. I love Oakland Yard and have been a loyal customer and wine club member for years. The space is beautiful, clean, refreshing, and the wines reasonably priced and wonderfully curated. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and unpretentious. Ask questions and you'll be guided well. Want to browse on your own? They'll respect your space. They host events and pop-ups from budding chefs that enrich the neighborhood and are such a lovely community hub. You can even bring your Tacos Oscar order. I don't know what else to say other than this is the gold standard for neighborhood wine shops. Oakland Yard forever!

This place is fantastic. A surprisingly good variety and selection of wines for such a modest-sized shop. The staff was amazing, patiently helped me pick out some wines for a wine pairing party. The wines were in budget and tasted great-- got lots of compliments. Glad to have found this gem!

Decent wine selection. I went on one of their vendor days and I'd say the outside patio area is definitely too small for the amount of booths they packed in there. They had tacos from Xula (which isn't a business on Yelp yet, or at least I couldn't find them). I should leave the two stars for them actually. The wine bar seems cool though. They have a few stand up tables with limited stools, and a large self serve water, which is important. One gender neutral bathroom, so long lines though I imagine that's not the case on typical business days.

Pompous, self righteous, and terrible customer service. Save your time and money and head over to Ordinaire.

Amazing selection...Small production classic wines and of hundred of minimum Intervention and natural wines. The owners from Chez Panisse etc and winemakers. Knowledgeable friendly staff too. backgrounds clearly show with well curated shop, heavily French Italian and some hipster California - but wines from all over the world. Impressive large collection of interesting wines under 15-20 bucks. They have flights and wines by the glass too! Glasses range from 8 to 11 bucks. We tried three (ok, four!) with our tacos (Tacos Oscar!!!) from next-door. All in all a wonderful experience in a welcoming and inclusive space. Will be back!

Super uncomfortable experience and felt singled out requesting to buy wine and told that I needed a Proof of Vaccine. Reading through each review I did not find a single comment about it. Oddly, I wanted to buy the wine and take it to go. I was denied a purchase w/o a paper doc on 8/9/2022! I had on an N95 mask but my vaccine card was home since hardly any establishment request it in Oakland anymore. What gives?

Came in just for a glass, wish we would have looked around more and maybe bought a bottle from their great selection but I'll definitely be back! Employees were super friendly and knowledgeable about their wines. Indoor and outdoor seating available
