Because it's not Penrose! The Iconic Piano Bar with pianists Bryan Seet and Jef Labes took over the music scene almost 10 years ago from Rod Dibble and have continued the tradition of accompaning singing around the piano. Each week people from near and far come to test out their voices along with the regular singers of the place.
The Alley is know for its steaks, fried chicken and enormous burgers, great fries, in fact all the portions are very hearty. People come for the music, food and Alley Family!

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.
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.
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.

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.
