You’ll now also enjoy a modern take on mid-century favorites during a private reserved seating at Bardo Supper Club & Lounge. Here, guests will take in a truly unique dining experience as they are transported back to the 1950s through food, cocktails and expertly curated surroundings.
“With such a remarkable and unexpected honor from National Geographic , I want to expand the tour to create a full-on experience that further highlights this special area of Oakland,” Local Food Adventures founder and owner Lauren McCabe Herpich says. “Dinner at Bardo is one of the most thought-through dining experiences I’ve had the pleasure to enjoy.”
“We are excited to be included in the “Perfect Saturday in Grand Lake” tour. Bardo is all about sharing home-entertaining style hospitality with our neighbors. Our mid-century lounge and dining room are designed for folks to relax and celebrate life with great food, great drinks and great people. It’s our way of honoring our community and joining the ranks of many local establishments committed to Oakland’s well being.”
“Bardo is a great example of the unexpected gems that make up Oakland, a lot like what you experience at the Grand Lake Theater. You don’t find places like this everywhere.”
Speaking of, paying guests also have the option of adding discounted general admission tickets to the Grand Lake Theater as part of their tour reservation.
