Great bartenders, great vibe, a cool Oakland hangout.

I absolutely love this place!!!!! One of my favorite places in the Bay Area and the coolest dive bar! Halloween themed! And every October the decorations are absolutely incredible. Wish I posted these pictures sooner. They’re from the end of October 2024.

Halloween is every day of the year at The Avenue. Traditional small bar with great staff and pool table and quiet area at rear. Pictures tell the story.

Everyone’s friendly and the vibe is nice

Nice metal bar, we crashed here after filing taxes and had a good time :-)

Super fun dive bar that had a very diverse mix of people, who all seemed very Oaklandish. Didn’t spot a tech bro the entire night. Oh, yeah, an impromptu drag show occurred which was fun.

Avenue, how I love thee - let me count the ways. First, cans of Hamm's. Honest and straightforward, just like the bar. The bathrooms are always clean. The staff are friendly and efficient with no pretenses and no nonsense. The house cocktails are priced better than anywhere else in the city and always stiff. The crowd knows how to relax and they're always friendly.

We had a great time here. The decorations are awesome. The service at the Bar is great. They were playing Halloween in the back area.

Very cool place that exhibits horror film themes in the bar creatively. The decor is very detailed & tons to look at. I'd recommend coming here at least once to experience it.
Their Halloween decor is undefeated. There's a pool table & shuffleboard here for gamers.

Came here by chance while my friend and I were out of town. Had a great time and was quite enamored with the doorman Josh.😊

The thing about the Avenue is you never know what you’re going to get. The crowd is constantly changing, the patrons are always friendly and the decor is always on point. For a dive bar, the Avenue takes Halloween very seriously…with a month-in-advance Halloween themed bar and for a place like Temescal…now known for having had far too many ex-SF tech bro’s moving into the neighborhood, the Avenue continues to revolt, revolutionize and remain truly Oakland.
Wednesday-Saturday are the nights to come in. The omens are always good.
