“The staff here are AMAZING! Is this a dive bar? Yes. Are they gonna look at you funny is you try to order a speciality cocktail that you’re used to getting downtown San Francisco? Yep. But that’s the whole point, you’re here to drink traditional and familiar fantastic drinks! I started coming here with friends a while back and over time many of the bartenders and other employees became like friends! As a woman I always felt safe as they had their eye on everything going on, and I always had a blast anytime I came. Specifically, Peppi and Michelle, really went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. I had to move away and they spent money out of their own pockets to throw my a going away party at the bar. I have never experienced a closeness like this to an establishment where I’m a guest, and it was very appreciated. I am moved away now and very much miss the service and atmosphere I had at Lucky 13!“

“Impeccable service, food perfection. Even the simplest ingredients, masterfully combined, make for fantastic bites! The Avocado Bruschetta is a perfect example of that. And it’s unlike any other. Simply delicious. The chicken sliders are a tradition for a reason: the house made biscuit is a revelation, and it isn’t everyone who can match that baked flaky goodness with the perfectly fried chicken. Unbelievable. I’ll be back again for that. The spicy shrimp had the perfect combo of heat/spice and sweet curry flavors. And I love the wine list!!“

The bartenders are all nice, friendly and attentive.I still need to explore the food menu. To be continued...Part 2: the food is amazing for bar food and the menu has many different types to choose from; Burgers, wings, lumpia, wraps, and much more. They offer many different dipping sauces. And some are uniquely made in house.They also offer free wi fi ???Update to review: The food has gotten even better! You will find a full menu with about 50 items and specials every night to keep things new. Every thing I've ordered has been almost gourmet level and delicious. The ownership is doing a superb job on the menu and food preparation.“

“If you're looking for a cool, funky-phresh, time capsule, of an old-schoolish bar with tons of Alameda history, (part of it was literally a horse stable decades ago) then the Boathouse is definitely your place. Great selection of beers, and classic cocktails. Great bar food, and plenty of outdoor seating when the weather is right. The owners are locals and are really committed to the community. It's actually the best damn neighborhood bar in Alameda, bar none!

Vegetarian options: The veggie chilli is hella good!“

“Loved my birthday dinner tonight! Portions small for the prices in our opinion. A scallops main dish with 3 scallops is small. Drinks were amazing, decor fabulous and great service. My son had to go eat more food afterwards as he was still hungry. Bigger portions would be good. Loved everything else! Great choices, appetizers, main dishes and creative drinks were delicious. Kind of surprised knowing they knew it was my birthday that they didn't offer me a birthday "something" to make it special. For these prices I would expect something.“
