Sláinte Oakland reopened Dec. 15th, 2023

Sláinte Oakland has risen from the ashes!!

A few of our oldest friends (and former employees) have joined together to bring the pub back to life!! We continue to bring Irish hospitality to Oakland with excellent service, Celtic cuisine, and craic agus ceol (fun and music). Our Sunday Seisiuns are incredible, and our musicians come by on the first and third Thursdays as well.

Keep an eye out on our social media for expanding menus, special events, and weekly specials.

We can’t wait to welcome you back to Sláinte and to see you all. We’re so lucky to have The Town’s support and are thrilled to be back. We love you. XX

Hoodline i Sláinte irish pub beats the odds

“Good news for those nostalgic for a pint and a ceilidh: Sláinte, the quaint Irish pub in Oakland, which had its future in jeopardy, will be flipping its sign to "open" again this Friday evening. Sláinte's comeback was made possible through the joint efforts of staff and friends.”  

SF WEEKLY |  Slainte: Dublin in London

“That Irish Breakfast, tho: it’s got two fried eggs, a bowl of beans, a roasted half tomato, black and white pudding, bacon and Irish sausage, house-made Irish soda bread buttered with Kerrygold, and a potato pancake known as boxty. It’s $16 worth of coronary thrombosis on a plate, and it’s terrific.”  

Diablo magazine |  First Bite: Slainte Brings Good Cheer to Oakland

“My first bite of crackling cod in Sláinte’s homey plate of fish and chips sold me completely, especially when paired with a perfect draught of Guinness.”

Walnut Creek magazine | Cheers to Oakland’s New Authentic Irish Pub – Slainte

“That authenticity brings tears to the eyes of the Irish expats who enter – especially moving seems to be the display of Taytos crisps that hang by the bar. Gallanagh imports the ‘only-in-Ireland’ product and underestimated their emotional impact. Equally affecting are the Irish-born Gallanagh’s house made traditional Irish dishes.”

“Ignore the tourist lines at the Buena Vista; Oakland now has the Bay’s best Irish Coffee at its recently opened Irish pub, Sláinte. Enjoy a perfect combination of fresh whipped cream, Powers Irish whiskey and Oakland’s own Bicycle Coffee for an ideal sipper to defeat the Bayfront chill in Jack London Square.”

"Try chips in curry sauce, the all-day Irish breakfast platter, with Irish pork sausages, rashers, black and white pudding (shipped straight from Ireland) and house-made soda bread, or Gallanagh’s family recipe for shepherd’s pie. Save room for that dense, delicious Guinness ginger cake."

"Not all of this year’s top-notch cocktail bars came in flashy packaging. In Oakland, Jackie Gallanagh opened Sláinte , a homey Irish pub that’s about a lot more than just Guinness and Bushmills. ... A smart collection of Irish whiskeys and a menu of simple, balanced cocktails, quietly inflected with Celtic accents."

SF CHRONICLE | CAN SLAINTE CREATE A MODERN IRISH PUB IN OAKLAND?

"It gave the impression that the bar, despite having been open only since April 2016, was a longtime gathering spot for a community. A haunt. A place with regulars. Maybe that makes it authentically Irish."
