My most favorite beloved dive bar in Oakland. Strong drinks, good price, jukebox, dark atmosphere, pool table, sticky floors and clientele that are very chill and no nonsense.

Decent location but rude “bartenders” both night and day. If they don’t know you then you’re not welcome and shouldn’t interrupt then for service.

Best bar in Oakland if you aren't a little baby. All non-babies are welcome though no matter who you are.

My all-time favorite dive bar.

Stumbled upon this hidden Gem of a Bar while staying in Jack London Square and was immediately enamored with its no-frills funky Oldkool Super chill vibe atmosphere :) Strong cheap drinks leave room for well-deserved tips for the bitchin’ bartenders! Their slogan is “Merchants Saloon-Poisoning Oakland since 1886”

This bar is a staple of Oakland filled with incredible people. It is NOT the bar of a similar name in Seattle that is currently involved in an online scandal.
