Lama Bar in El Cerrito is a gem! Exceptional service, great DJ vibes, and a cozy patio – it’s the perfect spot to unwind. Plus, the added bonus of billiards adds to the fun. Big thanks for the wonderful service; it’s definitely the go-to place for hanging out with friends!

I had an amazing time at this Lama bar! The combination of a talented DJ, live music, and fantastic drinks created an electrifying atmosphere. The back patio was a hidden gem, providing a perfect spot to relax. The bartender was incredibly friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. I can't wait to visit again!

Fun dive bar with 1 pool table. Lots of good pool players. Owner and staff are friendly and quick. 3 TVs. Outdoor area out back.Hawaiian restaurant nextdoor if you're hungry.

Love this place, a great local bar with a bunch of fun, colorful characters who love music and pool.

Really updated nicely and run well. Great pool players too. I like the happy meal special, beer and a shot, and the nice sunny back area that still allows smoking unlike a lot of places.

Owner is rude, adds his own tip to your card or over charges for your beer (pay with cash only). The regulars here are aggressive, unfriendly, and beyond disrespectful. Worst bar in el Cerrito / Albany by a massive long shot. Save yourself a terrible experience and just go to one of the other amazing bars in the area and skip right over this one.
Please avoid this bar at all costs, there so many other amazing local bars to go to besides this one. The owner is shockingly disrespectful and really just terrible to his customers. The regulars here, or so they call them selves, are aggressive, rude, selfish, and dangerous. Just go somewhere better and that's very easy to do. The two police cars leaving the bar before I went in wasn't a good look either.

Lama is very rude and not very good with making drinks the bar need lots of fixing most of the regular customers or very cool and respectful Andre is very good with the customers at times

Fun little dive bar. New owners remodeled it when covid hit, so if you ever went here when it was Crown or Blue Moon, it is much changed!Still has a great, eclectic group of regulars.Beautiful back patio (with heat lamps for when it's cool), juke box, pool table, plenty of TVs (including 1 out back) to watch sports. Dj some weekends.Some parking behind the bar.... You can also park next door I the parking lot behind O'Reilly.
