This Wed. 10/15/2026 was my visit yesterday to introduce Clare (the historic winetender etc at Chez…read morePanisse) to different kind of alchohol delivery system more inclined to grain etoh rather than grape. With a bit of encourgement I convinced her that this dirty dive bar had a redeeming ambiance & after we slid in to a mainly empty room we were greeted with"Are you here for dinner?", the opening query from our barmaid. "Nah we're here to drink to help digest the "History of Concrete" from a 4:30 matinee at the Grand Lake, which Clare could barely stomach much like my the last version of "French Fries?" I unsuccessfully tried to eat at the Alley (see my previous comment). Her order of a Manhattan was ok & my Racer 5 with a Four Roses lubricant also did the trick..loosen us up. As the effect of drinks took hold the need of eating became more urgent & the recent change of the cook and the barwomen's promise of vastly improved French Fies got us to order the Rocco Special: a 1/2 lb. burger 2 pieces of fried chicken & fries. Clare mentioned to me that she hoped that mayo was included (after both mustard & ketchup quickly appeared) Voila! The listening bartender delivered it & impressed Clare with her attentive service. Ordering it medium was a my error the burger a bit dry but the fries had much improved; way thinner with good crunch & flavor & with mayo & the previous drinks they did the job. Ditto the fried chicken which I ate for their absorption abilities (not great but ok). The guitarist started at 8pm & I grabbed the mike for a rendition of Dylans "I shall be Released" which drew a sitting ovation from the other bar flys (not too shabby i will modestly admit) love that Rod Dibble's ghost is alive & well at his piano even without his cowbell

* F*king awesome vibes, there's so many cool stickers, posters, art and general old school saloon…read morevibes **Great options of drinks, beers and spirits. The staff are fun and interactive, and the cocktails are well done even in dive bar standards *** Piano night is sooo much fun ****Theres always something new to experience every time you stop by *****One of the fundamental Oakland feel vibe bars I'd recommend

Date: 2/22/2025. Time: 4:00 PM. 63°. Sunny…read more I was supposed to be at 1701, but they are not opened yet. Thus, I met my friend next door at Space Lounge for drinks. Usually I don't imbibe. I am not much of drinking the Henny. All their cocktails have exactly that. The only one that looked appealing to me was the expresso martini. The service could be a little more attentive. My friend and I were the only two people in the lounge at the time. We sat and waited for somebody to come by to ask what would I like to drink. It did not happen; thus, my friend had to go the bar and purchase the expresso martini. The expresso martini was smooth and mellow. The only time I had the Henny was years ago at a Chinese wedding banquet. I added some to the shark fin soup, which enhanced the flavor of the soup. Yes, I enjoyed the expresso martini. The atmosphere of the lounge is one of sophistication and upscale. Comfortable seating all around. Nice place to hang out, do some chillaxin' with friends. Rating: 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 stars.

Super chill spot with hella cool people! Wandered in here with a friend while waiting for a concert…read moreat Fox. So we had a few drinks and chatted it up with Rick. He's super knowledgeable AND passionate about his craft, plus an overall fun person to hangout with. We heard that this spot isn't getting much love these days and just wanna say it's totally worth the visit! You get excellent service, people who love what they do, community and also some bomb a** lumpia if you show up when the lumpia ladies are taking orders! Come thru!
