I'm usually a two drink gal but I only needed one this day because I enjoyed sipping on this so much. I went during the day so it was pretty empty but the vibe was still right.

I ordered drinks and told the bartender I'd be right back to pick them up to which he replied "Nope. You're our guests, I'll bring them to you!" Good people! Don't miss their Hot Toddies! So good!

Once you enter in the bar, go to the right, they'll give you a stamp on your hand, and then you can head downstairs. There are many lounge areas, and small tables & chairs to sit and drink at. There are also pool tables to use for free! There's also a DJ that plays GOOD r&b, hip hop, pop, and even some throwbacks too! The DJ that night took song requests and even gave a shoutout to the birthday girl in our group too. The cocktails were good, and I'm sad I didn't take pictures of it (had too much fun). The waitress will come to your table and you can order there OR you can also order at the bar. When I ordered at the bar, the waitress was so nice and helped me bring the drinks over to our table. I also had a taste of the fries, and the cups and guac and it was tasty too! There's some parking right infront or a parking lot behind the bar. I will definitely come back!

Drinks 4 Service 4…read more Ambiance 5 Food 4 We came here on a slow Tuesday night. They were about 10-15 other guests but the places so big and spacious that it almost felt like we had a place to ourselves. There's a spot for a DJ/music and I can only imagine that they have some great shows here. The bartender was attentive, and while they weren't very personable you could tell that they knew several of the regulars. I didn't drink anything fancy, bourbon neat, but it was a fair pour. You order food separately. We are fish tacos, wings & nachos. The fish was fried and coleslaw had a touch of mayonnaise but not too much. This was my favorite dish. The wings of the nachos or what you expect, definitely flavorful and cooked well. We liked the crowd and will definitely be back to listen to some music and check out the lounge downstairs.

The folks here are very friendly and it's like one of those places where they have friendly relationships with the regulars. The prices here are more than reasonable and they have a pretty solid selection of spirits as well as beers. Came here on a Sunday evening to meet up with a good friend to catch up. We had a few beers and the place wasn't crazy busy but there were a few people in there playing some pool. Just a really solid spot to grab drinks and hang out in the Castro Valley area.

This place had a low-key vibe that gave off connection and good times with friends! The menu was definitely American style although they had some stuff that could be considered Spanish or Italian as well, I ordered shrimp, scampi, my friend ordered a nice juicy burger and some fries! I wanna say it was the aïoli burger, but I can't remember! Their cocktails are lovely as well and make mocktails too. Definitely recommend.

This general area has a few places to bar hop - Funky Monkey, Stein, Dirty Bird and The Bistro - going to some or all of the above on any given evening makes for good fun. Smaller bands are great to discover here. It makes for a very lively atmosphere. Hayward goes above and beyond with community events and closing down B street regularly. There are two pizza places nearby - I prefer Susie Qs - its very upscale for Hayward. OOops, I'm sorry - that wasn't meant to be some backhanded compliment about the city. From what I know the owner of this place is actively involved in the city of Hayward and I like that. All the more reason to support this establishment. Downtown Hayward can be very fun - its not the worst place to live - just get out and make the best of it.

Doesn't know how to read a room...he'll play a few good songs for 20 seconds and then switch it up as soon as everyone is having fun. Try making a song request... it's a joke .. You'll see. Hope you like reggaeton and 20 seconds of good songs lol! I'm still rating a 5 because I know they will fix this problem, but my friends and I are going to skip the next few Saturdays for now.

We came on a Wednesday for karaoke and that was a fun night too. Their food in the back is sometimes a hit or miss. The drinks are always good but on the weekends when it's busy they limit the drinks to order to common drinks like margaritas shots and beer. I still haven't gone towards the back but I've seen in photos there is an outdoor there and I just found out they have a speakeasy downstairs through a hidden door in the wall up front. Can't wait to come again. I wish there were more places like this closer to me
