Tonya ShippSeptember 9, 2018Nice enough space, location, sound system but I'd wish for a better crowd. Been here 2x comedy then DJ w/ cover.
Best bar ever! Never doubt. Powers on the rocks and a shorty and many more fabulous drinks
Oakland HospitalityJune 29, 2010The Clarion Hotel in downtown Oakland, needed a great lounge for near by, we suggested their clients check out Layover. Cute place and had a good time!
Anna HartmanMarch 11, 2010loved the decor. I think a good date place. would be great if they had some vintage soul music nights and a little dancing.
Great Drinks @ a reasonable price, great music, great bartenders.
Feelmore AdultOctober 20, 2012Super low on the radar to have a 2nd or 3rd date of the night and no one will recognize you
Good music, good drinks and a nice vibe. A pretty low key lounge that I enjoy
Greyhounds here are made with fresh squeezed grapefruit juice...nice
Michelle MorganDecember 30, 2011It's going down...Gator get down that is...and friends. Great live music
Tan LamApril 27, 2010The Greyhound looked really good when they were making it but I expected more for $8.
- Don't take shots with the bartenders, they will charge you for them :(
