14 Best Cocktail Bars in Alameda

“We come here fairly often and really enjoy the food (steak frites, burger, burrata and salads are amazing) and cocktails. Unfortunately every time the thing we lament is the wine selection - neither of us have ever had a wine here we enjoyed, and we’re fairly easy to please with middle of the road options. The dessert menu always seems to focus on a lot of tarts, which isn’t our jam so we never have tried dessert despite many trips here. If they updated their wine menu this place would easily be five stars and my favorite restaurant on the island.“

“Final date night before flight home tomorrow. Sausage plate. The British bangers are super flavorful and juicy, goes great with the spicy mustard sauce! The bratwurst is perfect with the kraut and horseradish. The smoked bison is a bit on the dry and spicy side. Reminds me of a Slim Jim. I wish I tasted more bison, but it's still good. The herbed goat cheese and lavash bread is to die for! The herbs are perfectly balanced with the cheese and spreads so easily on the bread!All paired perfectly with Zin-phomaniac red wine!“

“Had a wonderful beautiful birthday for my EX❤️ The Staff was absolutely wonderful and the bartender was awesome and spoke Italian. The service was outstanding.“

“food was delicious very pretty presentation warm and professional service by Gretna“

“Great vibes; great bartenders. One of the best cocktail bars you can go to. Every single bartender here can make you really good drinks either it be from their vast menu or freestyled. The atmosphere is great and chill plus their food is amazing!

“As the namesake implies, it's just your average blue collar type 'corner' bar, and that's part of the charm. Not trendy, not bougie, great modern jukebox with priority streaming of your favorite songs, for a slight fee of course. Would you have ever imagined that one day your childhood jukebox experiences that forged statements like "ugh, who put this one on? they probably already left and now we have to listen to this cr@p before our song" and to further shape our complaint into creative criticisms to "one day manifest our desired wishes for the day we could override and be played next"... Well friends that day had come! Ok, it's been around a while now but I don't go out very often so it's new news to me and you know what Gary Gnew said? " No gnews, is good gnews, this is Gary Gnew, goodnight". The peeps are mellow, the drafts are cold, they have a decent billiard table with a sign up board (formerly this was a couple quarters shoved under the lip on the table) and it's only $1.00 a game and there isn't some hot shot hogging the table making themselves feel good by running the table against people just trying to have a good time.“

“Apparently it used to be a wine bar but it’s been rebranded with the new owner. I’m not from around here but visited this week and it’s a great warm up spot. It’s got great music and the vibes were amazing. Thank you to the staff (especially the DJ) :)“

“We had dinner there tonight (3/14/24) for the first time and we will be back. Two of the most interesting and truly delicious sandwiches we have ever eaten. I can't remember what mine was called, but it had chicken (roasted perfectly), sauerkraut, cheese and other awesome stuff on a grilled rye bread that was excellent. My bride had the turkey sandwich and loved it. But the star of the show were the Tater Tots. Perfectly crisp with BBQ sauce to dip them in and then into some wonderful real bacon bits. Every tot stayed crisp from the first to the last. The meal was worth every penny and more. Get into the Alameda location and try it. You won't be sorry. PS: The only bad part for me is that we live in Seattle and won't be back down until May. But you can bet I will be eating here then.“

“Great burger and truffle fries. Its a great spot on fridays for karaoke.“

“They have delicious food and drinks. I got the house special vermicelli bowl and it was so delicious and it even came with fish sauce. I also had the french fries and a can of coconut juice which were really good.

At the table they have a bottle of sriracha sauce, a bottle of hoisin suace, and a clear container of what I assume is chili oil with a little spoon to serve it.

The server is nice. There are lots of tvs for watching sports and some cool lights on the wall. There are plenty of tables with a booth on one side and chairs on the other. There is also a bar that faces 3 tvs.

Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian entrees and appetizers.

Parking: It is in the downtown area, so you can park in front of if or across the street or nearby.

Kid-friendliness: It is not kid-friendly, it is a bar.“

“The super burritos are always delicious and fresh. They are huge, and there’s always enough to take home with you and enjoy later. All of the appetizers are delicious, and the drinks are the best.“

“We had lovely cocktails, the Sunday Edition and Popular on Payday umm We then shared their special ribeye with smashed potatoes and asparagus... excellent... and their always popular ribbon pasta .. delicious as well. We expected to bring more home ... but too good to stop ! Thanks East End!“

“Friendly staff, you can usually get a reservation or even walk in, food is always tasty, and they pour a good drink“
