It’s been serving a steady stream of heavy drinking locals for long and all the random tickets and crap stapled and stuck to the wall and ceiling are like a geological record of filth and drunkenness. Read more

Great dive bar , love the Estrella special. Shuffleboard table outside isn't as even as the one inside, FYI.

Isabelle Ambler

A bar where everyone is welcome. On Tuesdays, Doc's parks outside. Get the best burger in town and a $1 Olympia.

Conor B

Another classic Oakland dive. Originally a bait & tackle spot, now the perfect place to grab a beer and shoot the breeze.

Alex Dobyan

I rate Kingfish highly - one of the best dives in the Bay Area and fantastic for sports .

Slayer Bar . Only bar I've been to where I can not only play Slayer on the juke box , but no one leaves as a result :) this is a win!

Go to Kingfish Pub . Enjoy the free popcorn and good beer . Go earlier for the laid-back regular crowd. Try a bit later for a more hipster place .
