Fun. Furious. Fantastic. Oakland at its finest as regulars dwell in the recesses of this long bar with a patio. Smoke on the patio and reek. It's all good at the O-Town long time favorite, The Kerry House!

Always a good experience here, local love dive bar love right in the Piedmont area of Oakland. Plenty of places to eat around as well. Love the fact that you can smoke outside in their patio. The pool tables awesome too!

Your genuine neighborhood spot. Good, cheap drinks, and friends you've yet to meet.

Drinks are cheap, people are friendly, nice mix of faces
As bars go it would be hard to do better (though the pac man is, sadly, gone). Usual drama, mostly great bartenders and nice people

Derrick is super attentive and a real gentlemen. The margaritas he make got us nice and primed. My date and I went to my place and got busy. You know the thing.
