About Drake's Dealership - steak house in Oakland, California
Taproom of San Leandro brewery for house beer plus wood-fired pizza & more in former auto-shop digs.
Customer Review Summary
Drake's Dealership offers a vibrant outdoor space that's enjoyable in all weather conditions. The crispy wood oven pizza and local draft beer are highlights, especially the "quiet laughter" pizza. There are heaters and fire pits, making it cozy, but the menu is limited, primarily focused on pizza, which can be pricey. While the service has been choppy at times, staff are generally friendly, though the QR code ordering system is a bit impersonal. The location may not be kid-friendly, and access can be difficult due to steps and varying surfaces. Parking issues could arise, as validation isn't straightforward and may lead to unexpected costs. Overall, while the ambiance and some food items are praised, experiences vary significantly, making it somewhat hit or miss.

10/10. Incredible lunch and afternoon hang for our whole family. My toddler daughter loved every bit of her pizza and running around the beautiful outdoor space. Great for all weather with built in hung heaters and fire pits aplenty. The crispy yet chewy pizza is fantastic and the beer is great.

Very cool outdoor space. Plenty of heaters. Very lively. Limited menu. If you don't want pizza it's slim pickings. And those picking are pricey. Service happened to suck when I was there last. Not the case 2 times prior.

This is a local original Oakland pizzeria / beer bar. You can find long list of local and draft beers for sure accommodating all tastes. The beer list keeps updating with new beers. Beer lovers alert! Bar is more of beer / wine only. Plenty of space indie and outdoor. It's actually a very good place for outdoor seating with open area. I'd think not kids friendly, it's a great place for adult gathering, meet ups and even a cozy date. Not easy accessible at all. Steps and various surfaces involved. For food, pizza are wood oven baked and so delicious. Joey and classic are our favorite. Burgers are juicy and cook to order. Burrata plate is sooo refreshing and yummy. Best appetizer to share. Service is a bit choppy and waiter dependent. Overall good. Staff are friendly in general. It's per table QR code order. It's a great place all in all and will be back for pizza and burrata.

Came here for my birthday. Food was great. However their outdoor heaters are dialed up a smidge too high. My skin got slightly roasted. The main reason we left really upset is that we paid nearly 50 bucks in parking. They advertise that they validate parking at the Hive parking lot. However, it is impossible to get a ticket without providing a credit card. Ultimately we have a phone number instead and assumed the staff could help us sort it out once we got in the restaurant. The staff flatly said they had no knowledge about parking validation and no way to help us claim free parking. So a dinner that cost $150, now cost $200. Cannot recommend this place as a result.

Great place to stop for a bit to eat and a cold beverage, it's a brew house. The outside area is an oasis and staff keep our glasses full. Parking is funky but discovered they'd validate too late to be helpful.

Food was good and the ambience is amazing and relaxing! Pizza are sharable size for two so i would not suggest ordering one each. Came here twice, first time I got soup and mac and cheese and it was amazing! Second time got Pizza and Pesto basil with bread. The pizza was crunchy on the bottom and soft on top which i love but the flavor was ehh. I truly believe it was the pizza i ordered that was off what i originally get but i would go again and pick one i know ill enjoy. Overall one of the best spots in that area for food.

Drake’s is a great spot with good outdoor seating for a warm day. Unfortunately the food was rather disappointing. Had the garlic fries which were basically just bits of garlic in the fries and a meat pizza which was quite salty.
