Friends and Family
Oakland, US
Oakland's Friends & Family doesn't rely on flashy decor or high-end design to create a space where people want to drink good cocktails – instead, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming because of the resounding ethos of inclusivity purported by this female- and queer-owned business. Throw extra-friendly bartenders and top-notch, playful drinks into the mix (Mom's Rosy Cheeks is especially favored, made with vodka, rose, lime, and Peychaud's bitters) and you've got a hip, minimal warehouse-like local that attracts a diverse crowd. A limited snacks menu helps keep the wolf from the door, and if you're into bathroom selfies, the purple-hued digs have become famous for this reason. Bonus: a monthly shot special, dubbed Daily Affirmations, sends proceeds to gender-affirming surgery fundraising organisations.
