Lakeside Lounge in Oakland has been a favorite spot for decades with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The bartenders are fantastic, especially Shantell, the only bartender who is always pretty and prompt, and they make great Cranberry & Coke drinks. Live music including blues bands on Sunday and regular activities like the Friday DJ make it a lively place. It's a safe hole in the wall for a mature 50-plus crowd to enjoy without any rowdy behavior, with lots of dancing and a tiny dance floor. The owner is available and plays a role in customer service. The only downside is the extra small women's bathroom that needs remodeling. It's a great little small club, always super active and packed, with cheap good strong drinks. Barely any street parking, but you can find something nearby. Just don’t park in the Walgreens lot across the street—they will tow!
