Where is the Best After-Work Bar in Oakland, California?
Thursday night. Dj Trick is right on the mark. He played songs I havn’t heard 4-ever. If you ask him nice nice, he might play your fav song from the past. Drinks were great, and everyone I met was totally cool. Neat place inside, I was surprised that Alameda had it going on like that. I highly recomend that you check this place out on Thursday’s.Pros + Cool scene, Great DJ, Good ParkingCons – , Little smokey
Great place to meet up with your friends…the bartenders are awesome they make you feel at home and are quick! There is no shuffle board game so who knows where that other person went. The average age is not 40 not even upper 30’s it is a upper 20’s bar. If you want to have fun and meet different people in a lively atmosphere than that is where you want to go!
Pyramid beer is fantastic. I guess if you drink enough of it, you won’t notice that the food here isn’t equally as tasty.I had the Fish & Chips. Usually, it seems that the fish used in most Fish & Chips is pretty bland. The fish Pyramid used was darn near tasteless, and the breading came off when I tried to cut the fillet. The fries were ok…nothing out of the ordinary.I’d like to go back and see if other dishes are better as this first experience was totally unimpressive.Pros + great beerCons – food needs help
This Tiki-toting paradisiacal enclave above College Avenue is a great haunt for those seeking respite from workaday woes, engage in the urban rituals of drinking, and dancing, or to sip a Mai Tai bar side and listen to Arthur Lyman. With Eames-inspired furniture, rattan chairs, and a Tiki bar and an picturesque mural featuring the heads of Easter Island, this small liquored-up lily pad is kitschy, classy and elegant. Notable bites include the tuna casserole, made with egg noodles and cream of mushroom soup (from a 50s Betty Crocker Cookbook), the Lomi Lomi salmon, and another retro favorite, the shrimp/artichoke dip. Two of the popular specialty cocktails, the Gilligans Island (rum, banana liqueur, cranberry and pineapple juices) The Sneaky Blue Drink (an aquamarine devil made with gin and rum) have a penchant for making the unsuspecting drinker feel like a castaway on the shores of Hangover Island the next morning.
