“Such a great old school vibe at this venerable blues club in the heart of Oakland. Amazing music with an alternating cast of vocalists and musicians as the night went on. Crowd was a mix of ages and colors and a positive vibe all around. For a break from the tunes there is a vast back yard area with tables and a second bar that has beer and wine. Get liquor from the main bar only. Bartenders were working hard but very friendly. Great time!“

“I came here to pregame before seeing the Dodgers play the Oakland Athletics. I did not stay at this hotel, which I regret because the customer service was excellent. I ordered a couple of beers and finished it with some Buffalo Wings and a side of fries. The food was delicious and took about 15 minutes to come out, so I knew it was made from the time I ordered. The ambiance was fantastic because Dodger fans surrounded me, plus my bartender was super sweet (which I regret not getting her name). Unfortunately, the Oakland Athletics are leaving this town, but if you plan on visiting Oakland, please stay here. It's near the freeway, and this bar is fire.“

“The food, drinks, staff and atmosphere was excellent. This is my nephews favorite spot. Thanks Kelly for our family outing today.“

“Wow... we simply don't know how we have never had a meal here before. It was pre-COVID the last time we were here for a show, but we never had a meal. After our visit late this afternoon, we will be back often! The drinks are great, for sure. And the rustic dining area is an absolutely delightful plus! And the food, well, sure, it's simple pub food, but it is the tastiest pub food we've had in a very long time. Be sure to stop by here for a nosh and a kolsch, or any other beverage. You will be happy you did!“

“awesome place! I highly recommend!“

“Good drinks, great atmosphere, best food!!“

“Joe is great. After our Uber drive dropped us in the wrong place, Joe would tell us how to get there, he took us there. It was only at the end of the block, but meant the world to us. He wouldn’t accept a tip, so went back to have a beer after dinner. He remembered our name. He is the true meaning of customer service and I’ve told all of my friends to go see him at the Showdown. Thanks again, Joe“

“Came here with a friend while working in town. It was so good we went 3 days in a row.

We sat at the bar and Rodger gave us the Royal treatment!

The salmon salad, the salmon BLT, and the pastrami are all fire. And if you're like me and don't drink alcohol, definitely ask for a ginger beer <Yes they're alcohol-free!

Can't say enough nice things about this place!“

Food is tasty and reliable (they have gluten-free options!) the service is friendly and efficient (Maribel was sooo sweet!) and the view from the 12 floor is wonderful! Complimentary happy hour for hotel guests as well as buffet breakfast!“

“Romantic atmosphere. I am happy to check in here.“

“Awesome venue! Great for parties - lots of entertainment available 😊“

“Stopped in on a rainy day. No baseball game. First impression is its cool looking bar. Clean. Ordered the wings, cause that's my test for bar food. Good size. Nice and crispy with a tasty buffalo sauce.

Waiting for my burger and fries. BRB.

Well.... The burger and fries arrived. The fries ate crispy and delicious.
Unfortunately, the star of the show, the burger was a big letdown. My guys is was frozen patty. I'm a believer burgers should be cooked through not pink. Its ok if that's your thing but IMHO the flavor is better cooked, not murdered though. This was not very flavorful and too pink to be served that way. I wasn't asked how I wanted it cooked and I'm the only person here so no pressure on the kitchen. I'll come back for wings and fries. Beer was icy cold too. Definitely check it out.“

“The Banks Club in Emeryville is the spot! Soul, funk tunes fill the air all day, and the DJ sets on weekends are just dope. Karaoke nights? Always a blast. They pour generously too. I've had countless great times here. It's like the Cheers of Emeryville - you're gonna love it. 100% recommend!“

“I have been a regular Tilden golfer since 2019 (especially on Tuesday nights...when the real pros come out!). The recent opening of The Overlook has been a fantastic addition to the course. They did a great job with the drink selection, with lots of local beers on tap. The outdoor space is so nice, with heat lamps and a fire pit. Also, if you haven't been out to Tilden before, you will love the views and serenity out there. It reminds me of getting a drink at the top of a ski resort in Tahoe. Bravo Tilden!“

“I admire this restaurant! They provide good meals, their menu is decent, The chef in that spot is well trained, I like a lot tasting all their dishes. The food is consistently good, the attitude towards the clients is good. I often go to this place and I not even once was disappointed. I recommend it with no hesitation.“

“The decor and ambience is very modern while still maintaining the original design and foundation. The staff is super friendly and attentive. Place gets busy even during baseball games. Went here before the giants game and was quite impressed. I’d love to come back next time I’m in town. The food and drinks were impressive and left me wanting more. Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu. You definitely won’t be disappointed if you decide to stop by.“

“Talk about food that melts in your mouth and cooked to perfection. A5 beef, wagyu gyoza, salmon belly, scallops, and mochi cake were all out of this world! Delicious cocktails and an atmosphere that’s both modern and vintage.

Went here for an evening networking event and felt like it had this classy underground feel because of the DJ + Technics turntables right when you walk in, and then you turn the corner and see 2 massive speakers w/o their grilles behind the bar, which is filled with premium Japanese whiskey & gin and vinyl covers.

Unique establishment! Highly recommend.“

“Restaurant has great ambience and service. Food was very yummy especially the chips and guacamole, however for the mains the quantity was a little less. We were quite hungry also so maybe that’s why we felt it. Overall happy with everything though.“

“A game day classic, but also a great place to chill with your friends or family on other days in the cozy banquettes. Great space, excellent drinks, and the new burger is amazing.“
