I was in oakland for a job, got off kind of late and found this bar in the area. The outside doesn't look like much, but inside was pretty nice. Not flashy but not a hole in the wall either, but very much what you expect a bar to look like. Pool table, juke box, and flat screen tvs everywhere.
Pros: Friendly, high value ($3 domestic beers), and did i mention friendly
Cons: too far from where i live.
