- A popular wine bar and restaurant is getting complaints from neighbors who say it's too loud and the crowd spills onto the sidewalks. Betty Yu talked to the owner.
“The concerns of the public, aka two people”
LMAOO GET EM bro
Correction... two Karens, not people. 🤣
Let's imagine that was the biggest problem in Oakland.
Right
Ah yes, what a wonderful fiction.
Oh my God! People on sidewalks, standing, talking, laughing, socializing, making the area feel safer to walk at night. That's unacceptable!
1:55: “Aka 2 people” lmaooooo 😂😂😂
i died 💀
Nice one cbs. Really classy and timely segment here in light of record breaking freeway shootings and homelessness, you choose to target a legit business as your community action piece. I actually think this street has improved due to the fresh atmosphere. Which Oakland needs more of. Mind you, this street corner was historically noisy and unsafe being between a lively gas station and a dimly lit shopping center. The only thing different now is that patrons who clearly are not from temescal are dining here now.
What are you talking about? I watched it and it convinced me to lean on the side of the business owner. The restaurant looked totally fine and the complainers looked unhinged. If anything, I didn't know about the place but I want to try it out now.

Sounds like haters if you ask me, let that man business increase, I’m sick that people wish the downfall of businesses.
Go on say it, Karen is black 🖤

Would you expect anything else from socialists?

@@daboiikev6955 good point fr fr . Biggest plague us brown folks fasho 🤦🏽♂️
Noise from a business and limited parking? That's nothing compared to sideshows and gun fire. Tesemcal residents, smh.
What sideshows have there been in north Oakland that’s in the east just shut up speak facts
@@jabirfinley980 Oh that makes a difference lmao 😂
@@jabirfinley980 read Paul’s comments again you’re both saying the same thing
So wait… you live in Temescal within a block of a whole bunch of restaurants and want the absolute silence of living in the middle of suburbia. You don’t get convenience of walking to businesses and no one around.
If they were homeless druggies, or criminals braking into cars, I would say yes give them the rights but paying patrons? No, not acceptable!
Exactly! My god we can't have ANY street life or vibrancy. But shootings? Eh that's just culture.
The Monday scene looked very tame. I have eaten here several times, and the food is amazing. I am not a drinker, but apparently their wines are good. And they have several non-alcoholic drink options. Anyway, the last time I went was on a Sunday night and a neighborhood woman actually called the police (one officer showed up) because someone was parked in an area with red paint on the curb. I mean, maybe they were wrong for it, but aren't these the same police officers who aren't able to respond to violent crimes and property theft? The woman kept pacing around and talking to herself for a while during our dinner. Mind you, we were not "partying" whatsoever. People go there for quiet conversation and good food (and wine). We had a baby stroller with our infant child! Anyway, seems like a wonderful business and the neighborhood should try to embrace them. They seem to be trying their best to appease the people living in the cul de sac.
The only livable safe place in Oakland that gives you vibes of Europe, dine outside etc… the people who complained they do not know better. I am not a phycologist but these people don’t know what a real neighborhood looks like…
@HarryPalmer ya mean 'pSychologist'? Or real estate agent??
Europe????
They always claim safety when they want to get their way
" The nerve of those wine and cheese eating connoisseurs having a good time in our neighborhood ! "🍷 🧀 😏
There's some seriously deeper stuff going on with that lady who's complaining about this. Miss nose ring. She sees a group of civilized, quiet, educated, good-looking people enjoying a glass of wine and having a nice time with their dates and friends and that triggered something dark and hateful in her big time.
Yea i think insaw that too her head was almost vibrating during interview
So pro ⬛️ she’s anti every other race
We know they despise w hite people
@@leignorantblm8548 ironic coming from someone who is still promoting BLM.
🤢🤮
@@ericsj40885 lol you think I’m promoting blm?
I'm not seeing the issue.
It looks tame.
If there's more to this story, then the neighbors should film it for others to see.
There are far more important things to be concerned about in Oakland than a small business owner who is a POC. I thought this was a good thing or does it not fit your standards? I’m confused….
Exactly…two people of color complaining about another person of color who has a successful business in Oakland. SMH. Parking has always been bad over there on Shattuck. It’s not just because of this man’s business. At least they don’t have to worry about homeless people on the damn sidewalks like in SF or in other parts of Oakland.
This is first world problems if I ever seen it…
The food at Snail bar is absolutely amazing and well worth the wait. I've gone a half dozen times and the food, service and wine never cease to impress. Lots of good spots a block away to have a drink while you wait for your table.
You must be rich
@@ecor150 No, I'm definitely not. Most of the dishes at Snail bar are in the ~$20 range. You can eat really well there for not too much.
@@Eric-lr3zj lol $20 for a plate that won't fill you up so you have to order three or four. $20 for a plate is already expensive
@@ecor150 The portions are decent and the food is super high quality local stuff so it's actually a great deal. In comparison to the options near it it's a huge value for the quality.
@@Eric-lr3zj in other words, the portions are too small for someone who isn't rich that can afford multiple $20 plates
So, the homeless, catalytic converter thieves, and porch pirates are ok, but the law-abiding diners have to go. Got it!
no kidding. imagine being snobby while living in one of the worst cities in the union lmao. this is the place literally paved with human feces.
Rich white people aren't welcomed in Oakland
@@antigenesi ok drama much? Worse cities in the union? A bit of a stretch. I don't think folks would invest or move there if it was. The Town isn't perfect, but the kids are alright..so let's not use extremes for dramatic effect. Restaurants and businesses continue to open People continue to move here. Others close and people move away. It's nature and not unique to Oakland. Many cities across the US and especially the West Coast have seen increases in homelessness, crime etc. Heck even Seattle and Vancouver have the same issues. Let's stop acting like it's just Oakland....easy to pick on given other Bay Area isn't as diverse. Yes, your shit stinks too, but media doesn't report on it as much bc it isn't sexy. The info is out there....read it.
95% of the comments are positive. This might be a hit piece by a competitor or a complainer. Snail perhaps is the only minority-own restaurants in a white gentrified area.
Regardless, the complaint it backfire, now Snail is gonna be more popular.
I believe this is called "eating their own" 😆
She should’ve complained when the application to sell alcohol was posted in the businesses window prior to opening.
That was my first thought.
You only had one neighbor Karen and you reporr that as if there are many who don't want this in their neighborhood...tell the Karen to get a life.
That first girl interviewed is horrendous.
The old homes in Oakland usually have shit insulation, so that's probably contributing to neighbors being mad too. If all the walls were a little thicker and they had double + triple pane windows they wouldn't mind it much at all. Other than the parking situation, haha. Those homes were built during a time when most families only needed one family car.
Why are y’all complaining when y’all ain’t even from the town tho?
That's a busy intersection. It's right across from the "mall" area and next to the freeway. Typical Berkeley/Oakland people complaining just to be relevant.
Blocking the sidewalk? What a joke, that neighbor lady is an unhappy uptight human being
This lady is CrAzY
i wonder if these neighbors want more legitimate & healthy small businesses to simply leave Oakland. Just reserve the whole town for homeless and assaulting robbers, Yayyyy!!!
What a way to make it more packed & first time I am seeing a black Karen.
heck yes, i didn't know about this wine bar...now i'm gonna go check it out. Can i park in your driveway, Ms. interviewed-lady with frisky dog???
Karen's come in all shapes and sizes 😆
You mean Sharen. 🤣😂
Because the restaurant only serves white people and Asians (who aren't poc anyways)
They're just fed up with humans in general up there 😅
They are indeed a dying breed in Oakland.
I lived in Hayes valley in the city and this was normal, no parking, loud inebriated folks…welcome to modern life!
It’s always the neighbors 😂😂
Why is this news?
Cause there is no new crisis and no new lies to spread anything is news nowdays
That 9:00 pm shot said it all. Two neighbors whining is what I saw.
they should close the restaurant and let more thugs run around there and also some side shows are necessary
Baby, you could be in east Oakland, particularly by eastmont. Anyone who lives near MacArthur Blvd or Bancroft knows what I'm talking about 😅!!
Looks like this is Libby Shaff’s version of the French Laundry. - Gary
OH YOU SHUT UP, GARY THE TRUMPSTER FREAK!!!!!
Lol concerns of the public aka 2 people
Don't worry. It won't last.
This business will be robbed, just like the rest.
the lady will hire a gang and ransack the business. she is complaining about whites and asians sitting together and drinking wine. it is hilarious how she says it is public safety issue.
Well done another successful business hassled by Karen and Ken.
remember guys ," it's not just noise, it's public safety" lmao
It takes a lot to annoy a person with locs
Looks like she was just fiending and needed someone to get mad at.
Love Snails in garlic butter Delicious 😋
Greedy as owner, send the neighbors dinner once and a wile….
It looks like there are other businesses in that area. Restaurant is a restaurant as long as it is not rowdy. It is fine. The restaurant owner must be doing something right to attract business. It is a good sign to see his restaurant is busy. If it is not in Oakland I want to try it out after this report.
Very simple if the residents have parking permits block the parking spot after happy hour so the residents that live there have a place to park after work because people that attend a bar during happy hour shouldn’t even be driving they should just Uber there
Guaranteed that lady complaining is into astrology
Living above a popular place like that probably does suck… But it looks like it’s just an apartment up there and if you don’t like it… it’s time to move on…
as a native thats always been a busy corner there are more restaurants there why didn't they complain when the deli was there smh the new Oakland lol
If this was a nightclub with rappers performing each day and twerking I’m sure those complainers wouldn’t be complaining
Bro what 🤣
That comment's wrapped loosely in a not-so-veiled innuendo. Drawing parallel between the 'hood plaintiff & style of song/dance- sounds like scapegoating, no?! Perhaps a less-biggoty comparison is : a banjo's duet & square dancing? Or- flamenco dancing w/acoustic guitars; bongo drums & conga line? Really, ANY OTHER style of song/dance would be more appropriate, IMO.
Triggered? You know he’s right, skippy
I want to see the twerkers!
I see businesses sprouting up in old store fronts and there are many that need to be turned around like this. KPIX never does hit pieces about its home base S.F. the media is like that.
This is 200 ft. from an ampm with a ton of homeless drug addicts. The residents on this street have had issues with parking for decades due to 3 apartment buildings in that culdesac. Also, you live in between a fwy exit and Walgreens. You never lived in paradise. Get used to temescal or BOUNCE
Now you know why businesses are either shutting down, move out, struggling because people's hating on something that worked. Even KIPX are against them. LOL
Now I want to go there.
Transplants upset of other gentifiers in the neighborhood interesting😂 that is an assumption I admit
Transplants love the 'gritty' feeling
So they're complaining that the business has too much business? Put on a vinyl or a movie and relax. Use headphones or invite friends over. Watch UA-cam videos teaching you how to cook to keep yourself occupied. Leave the business alone.... That doesn't even look like a "loud" crowd.
Shouldn’t the complaint to make to whoever giving out the business license/ permit ? 🤔
Those two residents, I mean just look at them complain. I'm a hit that wine bar!
The Town actually is favoring the biz...being that 1 of two citation was for heatlamps...ie: as in they're required for outdoor dining at night....in other words, keep the crowd even MORE content & comfy after sundown/after hours. HaaHaaa LOL!! Party ON!!
Somebody is mad because she's not invited to the party...
She should complain about crime, shootings, gangs, etc... Not a business who's generating tax revenue for the city- and actually improving the city.
We need to catch the punks that did this.
Might just be me but that restaurant does not look new. So I'm trying to understand how people are thinking in that city. So it's okay to have a restaurant there as long as they're failing but if they're being successful then you don't want them in your neighborhood! This is why your city's a piece of crap! People don't have any common sense! How about the people who live there move if they don't like it. People are the problem.
Out of all the issues of Oakland...this is not one
A restaurant is at Publix safety hazard but don't mind all the homeless drug addicts and criminals running the streets! Honestly that lady looks like she might be on something that here is something else and she's so animated would not be surprised if she was on a little bit of some kind of upper
I lived in Oakland/Rockridge for ten years; my house was burglarized three times; I liked the multiverse environment and cool bay weather but it was more than a struggle. Oakland's solution would be to move in the homeless and turn the neighborhood into a shit hole.
There's at lesst 50 homeless within a block from that shitty food
That spot used to be coffee shop
Wineos are a fun bunch, either get on board with the vino or move. lol You people in california would complain about getting a glass of water on a hot day. Get over it.
people complain over the dumbest $hit 😆
Tell him to: Pay the complainers of with food. They like that.
does anyone still wants to dine in oakland. america's most dangerous city!
Love this bar
Justice for Lucky3seven
Noise is public safety? Yeah woman get a grip
Cry about it lmao
too many hipsters AND too many homless
People are seriously complaining about a legitimate business bringing in people , when they should be complaining about the homelessness , drugs , crime , murders , oh but let a business bring in people to buy things and have a good time . Oakland has their priorities all wrong .
Where's all the compassion in this liberal nightmare of a city ? Too funny.
What an absolute joke of a story! Best thing that’s happened to this neighborhood..
when you live in the city it's going to be loud and noisy move to the country that would be your best choice people 9-13-22 kenny choi your so hot boy
1:52 parking in the bike lane. Even using your flashers don’t make it legal. Bikers should stop in car lane to check their phones. Drivers illegally parked in the bike lane are mostly checking their phones. If it’s okay for cars it’s okay for bikes. Get it ???
If the corner was full of homeless people and drug addicts they wouldn’t say or do anything. This is disgusting
Emphasis on *some* neighbors...
People complain about everything
So oakland doesnt want successful business but is ok with the side shows, robbery, and smash plus grabs.
Better run them off to Florida and Texas quick
Eat in silence, hippies! No more fun!
Haters will always hate...they wish they were the ones running that business...oops 😬 too late..
They are mad because they are mad. lol
All I see are Karen’s complaining
Rent a space where the customers fit inside. The food was way better before. Gentrification at it's weakest
i guess they world rather have tents and trash and sideshows there instead of a nice little business.
A bunch of AOC types! Lol 😂
Omg Oakland...such a terrible place.
U
People are so full of it
Oakland
Are they jealous 😂neighbor hood people, please just provide free meal 🥘
What he should do is have a neighborhood day with just the people on the block can show up and they get discounts.
