Cool sports bar. A Philadelphia Eagles hub.
I bought the cheese quesadilla and it was charred and all you could taste was burned tortilla. It was so bland, sans the char, it desperately needed salsa or some other condiment other than the sour cream that came with the appetizer.
Classic Rockridge dive and sports bar with all the holiday cheer you need. Not trendy. Not hip. Just a great bar full of locals.
Cash only dive bar, great prices. Food was meh. Cajun chicken wings were dry, the chicken tenders were a bit better. Someone walked by with the sandwich and that looked delicious. My salad was also good.
Do yourself a favor. Give up your FOMO and get LOCA(l). This bar is a reliable solution for a weekend you are playing by ear, or an after-work hangout. Cool lounge area, great bar, and pool tables. Neighborhood bars are as good as the people and the people here are legit: friendly and genuine. You can actually mix and mingle at this bar, unlike trendy destination bars where people talk to their clique. Service is friendly and on-point - a rarity these days. It’s hard enough to find a bar with food at all. The bar food - hand food (burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries) - are restaurant quality. Thanks HP and BO for your kitchen artistry. Thanks Dan, Mary and Norma for your mixology talents. I’m bringing friends here. George and Walt’s is what bars are supposed to be.
UPDATE: it's probably my fault, because I'm just slow to grasp things that sometimes, but The kitchen and menu in this place are the sleeper hit of the century. Had one of the best chicken sandwiches I ever ate, and discovered that the locals have been keeping this place a secret ( I understand fully), The recommend that if you go here, try anything coming out of their kitchen. It is real Americana bar food, but high end. Now, onto my regular review......
Working class Watering Hole owned and operated by local people who like local people who appreciate local people that I mention local people? Cheap drinks, good company, pool tables, a jukebox and people who won't call the cops if you have an occasional smoke outside. What more could you ask for? Don't Front, you know you need a place like this. When it's time to get down and dirty and have some hard drinking fun, or sit down next to some true Burly men and women and learn what the working-class Oakland experience is all about, stop by. You won't be disappointed
