I absolutely love this place. I've been coming here for years now, and have always had a fun time. The bartenders are great at their jobs...it could be packed, and yet there is still very little wait. They demand respect from their patrons (towards both its employees and other customers) which helps keep out the typical douchy college crowd. If you're looking for a busy bar in Oakland that doesn't put up with sloppy, drunken antics of 21 year olds this is the place for you. Good job, g door!
