“I've been coming to OL for years. Nice relaxed atmosphere with a little music. Jake and the staff are knowledgeable and are constantly sourcing great beer. Prices are a bit high, and I wouldn't mind seeing some happy hour specials.“

“It was great to celebrate a birthday dinner with family. The food was amazing, as was the staff. This has become my favorite place to take people in the East Bay by far. Had a friend reach out from Japan and say all he can think about is the Chicken Parm!“

“Couldn’t be happier with this place, great vibes and a lot of care put into the food and drinks. Everything was delicious and high quality but particular favourites are the mint julep, apple pie old fashioned and burrata ?? it’s a real treat for people who are serious about their drinks too!“

“This place was the single redeeming thing in the area. I got stuck in this commercial cesspool for four and a half hours and wandered around for 3 of them trying to find decent food worth the price or some store that wasn't marked up for garbage. No dice. Finally found this place tucked away, so thankful. Had a couple drinks and chatted with old locals. Definitely support this place. In general I'll be avoiding the area but if I ever find myself there again I'll definitely go in for a drink and to get a brake from the depressing retail area outside.“

“Freshest seafood with great service.“

“Had a great time. Other bars were closing at 9pm on a Sunday and these guys were open until 2. I've been going here for years and have never had a bad experience. Tucked away in a parking lot off of the main street. Turn down sos drive and left into the parking lot halfway down the hill, and you'll find it.“

“Well prepared menu, staff are fantastic“

“My friend found this place for Happy Hour and it’s been my favorite place ever since. I always get the pickle chips. So good if it’s hot. Tacos are decent too! I’m not an onion rings fan but they service good rings. Wings are decent. Wings are huge and only $5 during HH.Drinks are good. The only con is everything is salty so you drink more. It’s not overly salted, it’s just a lot of salt overall.“

“Been here about 4 times and honestly the tribute bands have all been quite impressive & fun. We’ve seen tribute bands to The Smiths, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, De Peche Mode, Alice In Chains here. We also have noticed that the audience here are generally unusually friendly.
We’ve seen a few regulars while here & folks are open to chat, vibe in the music, really fun which is a welcome change from some unwelcoming “ too cool” crowds in other joints.
Parking was easy in the back, drink prices are reasonable, there are places to sit & chill and some cool video & pinball games too. When patio is open there’s been food trucks - this last visit they didn’t have any -but did allow us to DoorDash our own food. We had lots of Palomas & beers while listening to live music - great time!“

“Yummy food, good service and nice atmosphere.“

“It’s all good very good barbecue sauce so tasty“
