I am an out of towner and was looking for a place to catch the Eagles game. Some friends told me about this bar so I gave it a shot. George & Walt's is in a great are and the place was very diverse. There were plenty of TVs airing all sorts of games and pool tables. The bar is cash only (set to change soon) with tons of drinks specials. The bartenders were friendly and quick to check in. I was happy to have so many food options at this dive like bar. Everything came out delicious and the service was incredible! read more

I would come here again to watch a game and play some pool. The server was very attentive even with the crowd beginning to gather at the bar. All of our food was fresh and the fried items were crisp. read more

The little kitchen serves great food, I know, because they ran out of French fries, tater tots! The place is a sports bar, and has this everywhere! They have a seating pit that makes you feel like you are watching the game at a friend's house . . . that is the vibe! They have a full bar that serves premium libations. The bartenders, all of them, are awesome, friendly and fun. It is a place I love to go Sunday nights. Love it! read more

Might just be some of the best buffalo wings I've had. That being said I came here for the dart board but it is in an awful position- basically unplayable. read more

This was a fun bar to stop by to watch the Penn State football game and play pool. We ordered a pitcher of Death & Taxes black beer to share which was delicious. It wasn't busy during the time we went but would be a good place to just hang out and grab few beers with friends. read more

Service was good as well as the food. Great location and no rift raft. Dart board and pool tables

These people seriously need to get their shit together. I came in tonight to order a specific menu item which has been on their menu for years, and which was excellent, but apparently their whole kitchen changed up, but they did not update their website. The asshole manager was dismissive when I politely described the problem. Fuck this place. read more

Dive bar at its finest. Cash only. They sell smokes at the bar. Tvs. Plenty of seating with 3 pool tables. Everyone seemed to be a local and not in the rich, tech-bro kind of way. The fries and chicken wings were delicious. Everything's a little sticky, but would a dive bar be any other way? Beer with the sidecar special was a hit with my husband. I stuck with a few beers. A great place to end the night! read more

George & Walts Grill - Bud Light! Ice cold. - Sports Bars Near Me - Oakland, California

Love coming here for pool. Jonny the bartender, had amazing talks with him. This is an amazing bar, love coming here.

Came on a Thursday. Had an amazing experience. Bartenders name was Jonny. Loved the vibe happy I came here!

Didn't have the food here but I hear others liking them. The ambience is wonderful. Brings me back from old times when we used to come here. The service is awesome as well. We have rediscovered one of our favorite bartenders from another establishment that are working here now. The billiard community here is also a treat to be around. Respectful people around and we always have a good time coming here. read more

George & Walts Grill - Our drinks and the tequila hibiscus shot for a cause. It was yummy. - Sports Bars Near Me - Oakland, California

It bugs when people call bars like this a "dive bar." It's not a dive bar. It's a neighborhood bar. It's clean, people are friendly and there are regulars a-plenty. There's a pool table, a great AMI juke box and drink prices are fair. Now, when I say "neighborhood bar," that's not always a great thing. I've been in some where the regulars are so possessive of their place that everyone else is driven out. George and Walt's isn't like that. It's the best kind of neighborhood bar. The bartender was awesome in suggesting drinks. I LOVE the fact that my Maker's Manhattan came in a nice martini glass rather than a damn Bell jar or rocks glass. There were younger people, older people and all shapes, sizes and colors. If you're looking for a chill place to have a drink or a beer and watch a game or hang out, George and Walt's has you covered. read more

Street parking Cash Only ATM inside AMI digital juke Pool tables They have Direct TV packages for different sports so if you're looking for a certain game-- you would likely find it here. I was told they had vegan food but I didn't think I would want bar food so I ate beforehand. We went for College Basketball and the bartender was accommodating when we were figuring out where to sit to watch the game and when asked to turn up some volume.. They've got several TVs so different games can be watched.. The place has a divey vibe with regular bar prices.. I overheard someone tell another they had good food. There were restrooms in the back-- one for men and one for women. I'd come back and catch more games there.. drinks were good and maybe next time I'll look into food options.. read more

Adorable local bar and grill. Stumbled upon this nugget while driving home, and was craving American burgers and some beers. People here felt very connected and friendly, service was good. Ordered their special burger and drinks. Burgers was huge and juicy; one of the better cheeseburgers I've tasted in a while. Fries are amazing, and what can I say? Good vibes all around! read more

Service is great and the ambience is a bar, which is probably why you're there! The food was not great, however. Since I like to play pool, I'll probably be there and try something else from the menu - and update the review if needed. read more

It's a nice vibe. Good tvs for sports. Home town crowd. Bartenders were nice and helpful. Don't expect anything special in the beer department. Wings were pretty good. Overall, the food and drink is basic but the folks are nice. read more

Watched warriors and vibe is loud and fun! Food not great, fish n chips too salty as well as chicken wings. Tater tots were good and beer delish. read more

Great bar if you're from the neighborhood. Stopped in for drinks and tater tots. Decent selection and good specials every night. Had a few pints. Was told to order food at a separate window. The bar doesn't take credit card but the food corner does. However ordered food and was told that I could sub tots for my fried on a sandwich. They upcharged me without telling me then came by and said they 86'd the tots earlier so offered me the original fries. Fries were real good but check afterwards still showed the upcharge for tots. Sandwich was meh, mostly lettuce. Service at the car was great though. Would definitely try read more

An old Raider fan landed in Contra Costa 25 years ago. Of course Raider games are not televised here. Not many places to watch Raiders games. Today I decided to try visiting an Oakland sports bar to watch the game. George & Walts was the closest to the tunnel so I gave it a shot. The area feels like Berkeley. Street parking is somewhat available. Free on Sunday. There is a heat wave currently. It's hot inside. Summer is almost over; but replace the ceiling fans. They had multiple games on. No sound. The place is well used. The staff and patrons I spoke with were pleasant people. Had a couple hazy drafts and watched the Raiders loose. 49er fans were not too rude. The 510 fan smoking his cigar right outside the open window made the hot atmosphere a little more unpleasant. I'll be back when it's not so hot to watch a game. read more

Took a chance on a bar my friends and I had never been to before, only to find out that they are cash only. Poop. BUT! They have an ATM at the bar, tons of TVs, and drinks and drink specials that are more than fair. Including pint-sized cocktails at $10! They also have a grill that serves up different bar food and burgers/salads/sandwiches, and they take card there. There are two pool tables and an area near the back and bathrooms that is sort of a tv lounge area. Vibes are laid-back and you get a hometown kind of vibe in the bar. There was an artist there who came up to my friends and I and he drew one of my friends- so talented! I could see myself coming back here to watch more games. read more

George & Walts Grill - Grill menu - Sports Bars Near Me - Oakland, California

Everything the drinks, personnel, food atmosphere, pool tables. I love how everyone interacts with each other.

I have been a fan of this bar for years. Tonight I fall in after having a rough evening and this guy ignores me as I stand there listening to him talk to another customer for hellaaaaa long! I understand having a conversation-but not even so much as eye contact for minutes and I'm standing this close? Sheesh! It was to the point that I walked out and went to buy a bottle! I just wanted to drink and shoot pool. SMH Oh well...... Again, I normally like the place. There's simply no justification for what just happened. I heard the convo. Won't say it was unimportant, but dude-you could have acknowledged me at the very least! read more

This is the joint. We love this place for football, sports in general or even just to chill for an afternoon. Super friendly crowd that will rope you in to a conversation or round of shots if you're up for that, but also will leave you be if you're not up for talking. Also IMO they have the best burger in Oakland right now -- go check it out! read more

Great neighborhood bar to watch a game and grab a beverage and pub grub. Comfortable barstools and chairs. Spirited staff. I haven't tried the food yet - I'm looking forward to my next visit and doing so. read more

Love this place, two pool tables, good crowd, great food and good jukebox selection although some bartenders have the music way too low.

My go to "under dive bar" the drinks are consistently perfect, ask for Frank, Dan or Matty for a stiff one. The food is on point and always fresh. I practice my dart skills and sometimes pool. The pool players are so friendly and always ready to teach a newbie. Just put your name on the board! The jukebox has all the new hits including the oldies.

My wife and I have been here a few times. We decided to go there today because our power has been off for two days due to a large storm here in Oakland California. The service was amazing, our bartender Madison and Norma were exceptional. The food was amazing. Only way this could've been better would've been if our great friend Kay would've also been there. We will definitely be going back. read more
