Hands down one of the best steaks in town, good music in a very unpretentious spot.

Preston Redding

Fun, late night bar. Live piano karaoke on a couple of nights during each week.

The Alley was a cool bar with a lot of seating. They didn’t have what I was looking for, and substituted it with something that wasn’t even close, so I don’t know if I’d ask for a recommendation on drinks.

Matthew Galvin

The Alley is sort of the perfect messy dive bar. ìDecent food, great, opinionated service, strong drinks, piano bar. Lots of character and in a great neighborhood.

Vincent Raines

The legend continues. The only piano bar you will find in the East Bay. The food is very good if you like grilled fare. But the prices have been increased to top of market. I would rate it $$ currently.

Cassie Smith

Fun piano bar. It’s a vibe on a Friday night.

I've been going there for years but they jacked up the price is so high that it's now unaffordable. Even the simple vegetarian plate is now $17! Anything with meat is going to be $20 or more. And the well drinks you can't touch for less than $10.

Vegetarian options: Baked potato, sauteed vegetables including beans, carrots, and onions with garlic bread. $17 minimum.
