    It turns out that not all the bartenders are that nice and friendly. Still, a decent bloody mary, and an A-OK daytime dive bar.

    Bartenders are friendly, drinks are good, atmosphere is chill and there is always some kind of food being shared.

    No exaggeration - I had the best cocktail of my life here. I ordered a strawberry lavender gimlet…read moreand oh my. It was such a layered drink. 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. They played good music and the bartender was friendly. I'll definitely be back.

I just went here over the weekend and now can say the place is great! The cocktail menu is pretty diverse (I had a sour which I enjoyed) and I like the wide assortment of beers (they also offer pitchers, which you don't find often outside of sports bars, which this isn't). It has plenty of space inside and some outdoor seating. What really made it fun for me was that even though it was quite busy inside, you could still sit at the bar and have a normal tone of conversation, even with the music and other conversations in the bar going on. Not sure how they pulled that off, but it was really cool. The parking is tight; a lot of it is either 15 minute or 2 hours; and some is designated for the restaurant/liquor store nearby. However, if you're patient enough, you should be able to find free street parking. There's an extremely limited food menu but they do offer BYOF (bring your own food), even though there's not much around to pick up on your way in (obviously DoorDash will offer more opportunities). It's a pretty classy place, so I think would be great for a night out with friends or even a date. I'll certainly be back to try the other libations.

I came when it was…read morethe weekend before my birthday in December since my birthday landed on a weekday this year, boo! Decided to come here because I've been wanting to come to a hookah bar for a while ever since I went to Miami!! My coworker said this was the place to go and man it was such a vibe walking in. My friends and I arrived a little before 9 and the bartender told us happy hour ends at 9 so what did we do? We ordered as many drinks as we could before it hit 9 o'clock lol. Also the hookah didn't start till 9 so we had time to kill lol. Then we found out there was food in the back to like can this place get any better?? I ordered myself fried chicken with fries while we waited for the hookah to be brought to us. It was $20 per plate which was not bad since they served a huge amount of food and it was cooked freshly. I love fresh cooked food that's the best! Outside in the back is where the food and where to pay for the hookah too, we decided to get watermelon flavor, great choice!! It only was $30 for the hookah which is not bad at all, good pricing if you ask me! The type of music they were playing was like 2000 music which I love, I grew up listening to that music it was such a vibe all night! It's took like 10-15 minutes to get our food and man that food was soooo good and fresh I loved it!! Right after we got our Hooka and it was soo flavorful but not too heavy so it was more like a light head rush. The man in charge of the Hookah would come around and make sure we had enough hookah and would switch out the old square cubes and replace them with new one for us! Overall I loved this place the bartender was great customer service, music was such a vibe, food was great, and to top it off the hookah was on point!!

    Had an absolute blast at this spot last week! We were in…read morethe Castro Valley/Hayward area, and RB asked me where I wanted to go. "Somewhere fun" was my response, and my partner delivered; a short while later we arrived at Turf Club. What a fun and lively place indeed! Everyone looked like they were having a great time, including the bar staff. Our bartender Tony was a breath of fresh air - friendly and unpretentious. He made us some yummy drinks and checked in on us regularly. It wasn't long before Tony and we were all belting out "Smells Like Teen Spirit" together - ah, the fast friendships that form over a bar top. We put on some other tunes on the jukebox as well, and had a blast. No kitchen, but they do have a vending machine with various snacks. Very nice, expansive patio in the back, and they have live music. Such a fun spot, and we will absolutely return.

Andrea kept saying she wanted to go some place fun. Well this was it!!!! Upon walking in there is one of the longest wooden bars I've seen. We found a couple seats almost to the far end and ordered drinks from our bartender Tony. More about Tony later. The Touch Tunes digital jukebox was rocking the whole night from "Teen Spirit" to "Neon Moon" with the aforementioned bartender, Tony, singing away, and dancing as well as most of the other patrons. A little exploring past the bar is a huge room with several electronic dartboards and continuing further is a good size outdoor patio with another bar. This patio looks over a pretty good size stage and seating area. The band was packing up when we got there so not sure what they were playing. Inside at the bar is a huge screen displaying the stage. There where signs for hot dogs but I think they where out. They did have a vending machine for chips, M&M's and other assorted healthy bar snacks. So drinks were good and Tony kept checking to make sure we were ok as well as another bartender who brought out baskets of popcorn for everyone. We will be back to this place for sure!!!
