Boathouse is a casual, small-town bar offering a chill atmosphere, friendly service, and a full bar. The bartenders, including Janet, are attentive and personable. The bar features a nautical theme, a huge patio, and a variety of drinks, with a great beer selection and classic cocktails. Occasionally, it hosts live music, though some customers find the guitarist's impromptu performances disruptive.
The kitchen serves good food, including birria tacos with chunks of pork and hella good veggie chili. While the tacos were decent, some customers found the pork a bit dry. Other menu items, like great bar food, have caught the attention of returning customers.
Boathouse could be considered a "dive" bar due to its laid-back, rough-and-ready appearance, but it offers much more with its full bar, pool table, and both indoor and outdoor seating. It’s a funky-phresh, time capsule of an old-schoolish bar with tons of Alameda history, frequented by sailors and locals. Busy on weekend nights, it creates a fun vibe that draws in visitors. Overall, it’s the best damn neighborhood bar in Alameda, bar none!
