Geo Kaye’s in Oakland is the quintessential dive bar experience done right. This place has that perfect blend of no-frills charm and a laid-back vibe that keeps you coming back. But what truly sets it apart is Winston behind the bar. He’s a master at his craft—quick with the drinks and even quicker with the wit. Whether you’re a regular or a first-timer, Winston makes you feel right at home with his warm, welcoming energy. If you’re looking for a spot with character, strong drinks, and a bartender who knows how to make your night, Geo Kaye’s is the place to be.

This is a great dive bar. It’s small, pours are generous, good juke box, and a friendly crowd. Easy parking on the street.

We were made to feel so welcome here on our first night in Oakland, had a great experience at this bar. The bartender and the local crowd that night were so friendly. They gave us great suggestions on things to do while in town for Halloween Meltdown. Would of never thought to take the ferry while we were here otherwise and it ended up being a favorite experience on our trip. Great dive bar atmosphere. It was cool to hear about the punk history of the place. The bartender sent us home with homemade spaghetti! We can't wait to visit again sometime.

As everyone says, wonderful dive bar with classic neon. Good crowd, especially after Mosswood Meltdown. BUT the bearded bartender last night -- super nice, fast, somehow while handling the very full bar by himself, is the reason for the higher rating.

Part of my formative life, burn your face off hot pockets, “want to be sedated”, great times and great friends. Glad your still open and glad I’m still alive at 45! Thanks and we miss the missing!

This is my local neighborhood bar. EVERYONE is welcome amd made to feel so. Full set of hard drinks, good selection of beer and wine, and a very modern juke box that streams about everything. Today's visit was a long talk at one of the few tables as we mused over a coke and a sparkling water sold to us at a reasonable price.
Cheap drinks and good vibes
