Oakland Athletic Club has a cool, sporty atmosphere. The food is so-so, but where they shine is their drinks - good quality, though a tad pricey. It's a great spot to meet up, good for couples and small crowds. Solid 4 stars for the vibes and the drinks!

I come here during college football season. They have PLENTY of TVs. I’m a healthcare traveler from Alabama and I have to watch my Auburn Tigers play. My dad came here from Texas (Baltimore native) to watch the Washington Commanders (red skins) play and I come during baseball season to watch the Washington Nationals. Every time they have been able to find a tv for me/us to watch. It’s hard to find a place that can do that.I hate leaving a review to share my good news because I don’t want others stealing my spot.But, good news is hard to come by these days. I just hope I can always have a spot to sit and watch my games when the time comes.It’s a great sports bar!!

I visited early on a Saturday afternoon-- I was killing time waiting for a bus. It was apparently an "off" hour/day, probably because there were no significant games in progress. I was the only person in the place, which can be awkward.The service from the staff was prompt and courteous. I enjoyed a couple glasses of cider and looked at the menu but didn't have time to eat.I've been here a few times in the past and have found the experience to be reliably positive.

This place used to be chill and I still go here to watch fights because it's one of the only spots in the area that plays them. But some of the white guys who run security for this spot are on a major ego burn and will throw their weight around over nothing. I've seen people have their nights ruined for asking people to move from their spot here. If you can find another place to watch your game/fight, highly recommend doing so to avoid potentially having some regressive man up in your face for no reason. Also, sometimes you'll pay to watch something here and can't sit at the bar because it's only screening in the back room. Save you $ and go elsewhere if you can.

Had a great time with new friends. The line was long, but it moved fairly fast. I'm not going to rate him on that. He just needs a bigger place, lol. The owner is a great guy, and i love his accent! The servers were very friendly and the food came fast and hot! I don't drink, and my mocktail was great. Park free on the streets on the weekend (I would find this out later) or the parking lot across the street for $10. Come early for big events (paid $10 cover) and watch out for the birds! They will cover your car in poop! LolParking: See review. I will add I was here for 49ers vs Green Bay so it was difficult to find free street parking.

It’s a nice sports bar with pretty good food and drinks. They have a few pool tables in the back, which is a nice touch. Good atmosphere. Nice servers. I enjoyed it. Will be back again!

Really good vibe here. So many tvs, two floors and they will put on any sports game that's live, they were even able to put on a Lions game streaming on Amazon Prime. I was also happy they have a vegan Beyond Burger with vegan thousand Island dressing. They also have vegan cauliflower bites. My only negative review, the fries are the most average. I feel they can improve those a bit.
