| - This is, in my opinion, one of the best bars in Oakland. First off, it's pretty divey, so if you want to see the people you're talking to, forget it. It's basement location makes for a great hideaway on weekdays, and karaoke and cover bands make it pretty busy otherwise. The beer selection is great and cheap, with daily specials on some nice craft beers. The bartenders here are quick and pour drinks that could kill a man with low tolerance, so beware. I once got a "shot" of Jager here that was a full rocks glass.
Overall, this is a bar with a dual personality. Nice and quiet on weekdays (minus karaoke, which I think is Thursday), and busy and fun after 11 on weekends. I think it does both of these roles exceedingly well...I'm surprised I'm not there more, to be honest!
