Close your eyes once you enter and wait for a few seconds for the eyesight to adjust! It's dark in here! Love the grittiness, love the drinks, love the staff ...love, love, love.

John Bobeldyk

$12 can get you 4 drinks, so rightfully the choice cheap dive bar . Lit only by ruby red lights so it's wicked dark.

Claire Pedersen

Best bar in Oakland...it's got anything you could want!

Tim Harrison

Loud , dark, and sweaty. Light your hand on fire with a flaming sambuca shot.

Aaron Chancey

Long islands are $9 but mine was almost clear. Christ so much booze in one drink

Alexa Silva

Super dark! Be prepared to feel like a vampire when walking out no matter what time of day...

Maddie Mae

To get the inevitable Ruby Room smoke smell out of your clothes , put them in the dryer for 15 mins with a few dryer sheets.

Josh DeFigueiredo

One of my favorite dive bars . The 22oz PBR 's and tall pours of Jamison gets you going. It's dark and casual with plenty of seating.

Ricardo M

Darrrrrrk (in a good way). $1 well drinks Wednesday from 10-11.

If Antoinette or Zhiva are working, ask them to make you something. They're both top notch bartenders .

Too smokey. Had to walk out so I couldn't enjoy HH cause I just washed my hair. But I heard there's hot girl bartenders so I'll go again.

Solid dive. You can't bring in wings from wing stop because dogs are allowed on the back patio (worth it IMO). - Jeanine Shimatsu

Excellent bartenders who can make drinks to suit any palette. Strong music selection and warm, cozy atmosphere that offers a strong counterpoint to the modern, sterile drink warehouse. - Troy Flint
