Order the pizza. “The Benton” is the best. I get it most of the time. Otherwise, nice chill bar. Nice people. Nice staff.

Bartender was horrible. She kept putting drinks on my tab for the for the group I was with instead of asking each person individually when they ordered their drink. When I complained to her, she said they is what Venmo is for. Not her place to be making decisions on my behalf.

The service is terrible.
We came on a weeknight and we’re actively walking out of the bar and the bartender told us we had 10 seconds to leave as if we weren’t already half way out the door and it was 30 minutes before closing.
We closed out at last call but it seems like the bartender favored the regulars and let them stay past 30 minutes prior to closing but we had to leave despite us obeying all instructions.
I just don’t get why if it’s open until 1 the bartender kicks us out (as we’re leaving) 30 minutes before closing while letting 6 other people stay.
The overall vibe was really uncomfortable, sure cheap drinks and pool but also the bartender won’t let you play darts 1 hour before closing.
Overall not a great experience and won’t be coming again. It seems like if you’re a regular they favor if you if you’re not a regular you shouldn’t even walk through the door.

I miss it as the previous names it’s held but still nice nonetheless.

Your typical local joint. Cheap pool, darts, cold beer and good mix drinks.
The bartenders are always incredibly attentive and nice, variety of stuff on the TVs... Music is at the perfect level where you can have a conversation :)
Parking: There are spots out front of the bar, and on neighboring streets.

Me and my other bartender friends love this place because when you need a decent drink at a reasonable price. This is the place. I like to tell people.It's like lucky thirteen, but it's turned down to a six.

Thank you Benton for being a local love Hide out! The Marley G's pizza is a must when just hanging at the bar. Shout out to an amazing pool table- and of course my favs Steve, Peppi & Siobhan ???? You guys rock and I know when I see you my cocktail is gonna be perfect. See super soon.

The lady behind the bar told me I should learn how to tip when I was very respectful and all she did was grab me a couple beers and than as I’m walking away she was talking behind my back and I was gonna leave a tip when I left I do not

I've only been here a couple times, but it is always full of Alameda fine folk. The bar tender was very attentive and caring when I had over indulged before arrival and needed water. They have a great dart board and pool table. All inclusive restrooms. And even though it's usually pretty crowded when I go, they always have room for everyone! This is a hidden Alameda treasure.
We were allowed to bring our own food in for a birthday party. Great place!
Parking: It’s in a neighborhood and we respected the outside noise policy.

Fun "hole in the wall" local bar with a pool table and dart boards. Immediately felt good vibes when i walked in. Drinks were reasonably priced. It's mostly a bar, but they do serve pizza. I tried a piece one time and it was good. I would definitely order a pizza if I'm there hanging out with my friends and we got hungry. I wouldn't go there just to order a pizza tho. In fact I didn't even know that you could order any food until my 3rd or 4th time going there. So, my description is that it's a bar that serves food. Not a restaurant that serves drinks.
