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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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!!

They said they could accommodate me I made it just in time to catch Bruno Mars performance of "I just might." I was enjoying a beer. There was only one other patron at one end of the bar scrolling on his phone and a couple focused on each other near the window. None of the patrons were engaged in watching any of the TVs. I was 10' away from each. I was straining to hear the show with all the other noise from unwatched TVs but I managed. I ordered another beer. At which point, the juke box began to play so loud that not only could I no longer hear anything of the Grammy's, I couldn't hear myself think. I paid and left my beer on the counter. I get that this was not an ideal setting to watch the Grammy's but I had called ahead. There was no need to play the jukebox at that level given the patronage that was there IMO. The Grammy's come on once a year surely, watching Bruno Mars live is a better choice than a juke box.

I rarely review nor frequent dive bars much anymore, but that is not to say I don't like them. I…read morestill feel there is a nice purpose and certain times these can be a non-fussy way to chill and enjoy the company you're with. I've never hung out here at night, when DJs are here. But I've been in about a half dozen times during the day hours, either hanging out with friends before or after visiting a restaurant in the neighborhood. Anytime I've been in, its been pretty chill, always room on the bartop, some lounging/couch areas if you prefer. Drinks are dive bar cheap which is my comfort zone, but that is not to say that people only drink cheap sh%# here. You can drink whatever you want, but their pricing is just super fair and non-gouging. I'm sure there are lounge-ier spots within these blocks that want to charge $15-$18 per drink, but I'm not about that noise, never have been. The thing I really like about this dive is their sound system, even from their jukebox. It is always so clear and encompassing, even when the music is at a loud level. Other bars, if the accoustics are wrong, then loud music can be intrusive and/or irritating. Not here, maybe the big space is good for that, but I also think they have super nice speakers in the right spots to surround you with cool tunes. And I like music from many genres so even when other people are playing their music, I can still have a good time. And a couple of drinks with some good company, with some good nostalgic tunes on blast, I just can't help but have only good times here. I'll dive back here without hezzy.
