It was pretty cool. They had a DJ playing lounge music and exotica. Their bartender is pretty cool and makes awesome drinks !! I met some friends there for a drink and ended up staying until 1am. I don't know the exact address, but it's near the Bart station.

I own The Conga Lounge with my brother, Mano. It has been a labor of love for us (We are both retro-culture and tiki enthusiasts) and we are thrilled to be running the only tiki bar in Oakland, the home of the Mai Tai. We are open Thursday through Saturday, 5pm till midnight. Thanks to all who came to our opening last month and to those who have come by since. Hey Boingo, I'm glad to see you had a great time on Sat. It was our first try-out with these deejays and it was a great success. They'l be back next Sat. This is a work in progress-we're adding to it daily- any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We have several cool "theme" nights coming up - I'll post them on this site. Mahalo and Aloha

I've heard some really interesting things about your place. Will you be open on the 4th ? We need to go somewhere and drink after the fireworks.
