North Light is a friendly little cocktail bar in Oakland, California. We have an airy back patio, tasty food, and a bookstore curated by some of our favorite writers and artists (Samin Nosrat, Patti Smith, George Saunders, Michael Chabon, and many others). Come visit!
PATIO RESERVATIONS
Our patio is now open. We look forward to seeing you soon!

EVENTS
We would love to hear from you about a future event you might be planning—birthdays, holidays, book or record releases, rehearsal dinners, weddings, receptions, anniversaries, whatever. Our patio seats 32, and we can fit more for a standing affair. It’s also possible to do a full-venue buyout. We can work with you on a special menu and playlist. Happy to discuss details and put a hold on a date. Give us a shout at hello@northlight.bar.
FEEDBACK
If there’s something you like or don’t like, or something you wish we had, give us a shout at hello@northlight.bar. We’re all about communication. We live in the neighborhood and love our community and want everyone to be happy, or at least to pursue happiness.
