A neighborhood bar under the redwoods

String lights wrapped around a redwood on The Double Standard's patio

The Double Standard is a cocktail bar and patio in Oakland's Korea-Northgate (KONO) corridor on Telegraph Ave. We make our drinks with fresh juices and garnishes, pour ten rotating beers and keep a short wine list.

Out back is our 2,500-square-foot patio, shaded by old-growth redwoods we figure are more than 150 years old. Bring your friends, bring your dog, and bring takeout from the neighbors.
