ABOUT MESA MAGUEY
Mesa Maguey, a contemporary agave bar and Oaxacan kitchen, has recently taken over the former Copper Spoon space in Oakland’s Temescal neighborhood. Known for its mezcal cocktails and happy hour specials, the restaurant offers a menu featuring dishes like mole, tacos, enchiladas, soups, and ceviche. With a welcoming dining room and bar, Mesa Maguey has quickly gained attention for its flavorful, thoughtfully prepared plates. Mesa Maguey, 4031 Broadway (between 40th and 41st), Oakland.

FOOD & DRINKS
This mezcalería offers a curated selection of small-batch mezcal, including exclusive imports from San Luis Amatlán in Oaxaca. Featured brands like Tres Tiempos, produced by a single family, and Amateco, which highlights even smaller batch producers, showcase the bar’s dedication to quality. Alongside these mezcal offerings, the restaurant serves a range of Oaxacan dishes such as mole, tacos, and ceviche, providing a well-rounded dining experience that complements its extensive drink menu. The knowledgeable bartenders add to the experience with their expertise in mezcal.
