A buzzy restaurant and natural wine bar in the East Bay is upsetting some of its neighbors who say its popularity has created headaches for the community.
On a Monday night, every table at Snail Bar on Shattuck Avenue in Oakland is full and this is the way it is every night of the week, according to neighbors.
Carlos Castijo said ever since the bar opened about a year ago, he hasn't been able to find parking. "It's super packed and sometimes we just need to actually move out of the - walk on the street just because it's packed, ever since they opened, has been full," he said. He also limited the outdoor dining space. Giraldo said the general wait time for a table is about one hour. When Snail Bar first opened, he said staff would have to cut off the waitlist at two hours. "It's a main strip of Temescal. From the beginning we said we're going to be a wine bar. We never lied and said we were going to be a library or a cafe. We don't even have a curfew. Our lease says we can go on until 12 or all night if we wanted to," said Giraldo.
