Interesting dive bar that has shuffle board and two main rooms. Its beer selection is less than stellar, but the bartenders make solid drinks, and the tvs are usually showing very interesting, out-of-the-ordinary material (old horror/sci-fi movies, 60s playboyish movies, etc). The true gen of this place is that it has a taco truck that is permanently located in its parking lot; their food is absolutely fantastic and you can bring it into the bar.

I freaking love this spot. Friendly fast bartenders, epic taco truck outside, fun movies playing on the tv, amazing smelling signature cocktail that makes the whole bar smell like happiness, and the owner has a super friendly dog that does tricks. What more could I ask for? I almost want to give it a bad review to keep it a secret!

Interesting places with fancy cocktails that can be a bit pricey but usually pretty good. Only draft beer is PBR but sold by the pitcher as well. They have shuffleboard and are known for the "burlesque" they show on the TVs. Biggest plus is the taco truck next door. Its incredible and the bar lets you bring it inside

Old school watering hole, with some really great bartenders, bridging the gap between "mixology" and just dammned good alcohol. BONUS ROUND: Tacos El Autelense is right outside with my highest rated tacos in the east bay. Great place for quiet meetings in the day. Dark and mysterious.

Im not a fan of places that try hard to look like theyre dive bars, which is the vibe I get from this place. The taco truck next door is great, and if youre in the mood for a beer with your burrito this is the place to come, but thats the only reason I go.

Such a cool spot! You can tell its a ton of regulars from how everyone interacts, but everyone was super friendly. Super nice bartender, KILLER happy hour. Only draft beer is PBR, but they have a bunch of bottled beer. Cool decor and a taco truck outside

Cool smaller place with some very interesting cocktails. During the holidays we had the egg nog and spiked hot chocolate and both were excellent! The shuffleboard was a lot of fun too. Just make sure to get a drink before it gets crowded at night!

That places like this even exist! Like something out of a movie. Great cocktails. Sure, youll be in company with other hipsters who go there for the real local experience like your- and myself. Oh well, what are you gonna do.

Usually drinks are good and very strong. However, they also have made the worst manhattan Ive every tasted. Pressed-tin ceiling is great for architecture geeks. Hipster crowd replaced old-mans dive bar.

Great little neighborhood bar with very well crafted cocktails, ample seating and a great vibe. Went on a Friday night, it was packed but comfortable and we were able to quickly find seating for 4.

Great music, vintage adult films, good prices and 1.5dolar taco truck next to it...and off course, the shuffle board. Five stars if they transform to dancefloor after 10pm like missouri lounge.

Another neighborhood favorite! What makes this place so special? Amazing drinks and a taco truck outside. They also play great music and have phenomenal video reels playing.

A class act. Exquisite cocktails with warm inviting atmosphere. Shuffleboard, vintage movies and a great taco truck most nights. Without a doubt the best bar in the East Bay

Stellar cocktails, fun ambience, wild stuff on the TVs, and the best bartenders money can hire. Looks like a calamitous dive, its actually craft cocktails and good times.

They have a strange selection of alcohol. And a strange selection of what they show on the tvs. There is a pretty good food truck behind it thats pretty good.

Great pairing with the taco truck in the parking lot. You can take your food inside and eat with a beer or margarita! Fun vintage moves always playing

Sketchy-looking on the outside, surprisingly cozy with well-priced delicious cocktails inside. The taco truck is a local legend: cheap and delicious.

Dive bar revamped with custom cocktails and a shuffleboard table. Killer taco truck parks outside and you can bring your food inside!

Im not sure which is better the Pisco Sour or the barrel aged Negroni. Taco truck is just extra credit on an already A+ establishment.

Local bar with mostly regular and friendly people. Awesome tacos in the food truck next to the place (and you can take the food in!)

Old bar with an old school charm. Our TNTs were generously sized, well-fueled with locally-made gin (Botanica). Would revisit.

Fun place with some great drinks. The wait can be a killer and if you just want a beer there are a few other options close by

Great cocktails. Delightful blend of authentic old San Pablo and ironic hipster. A little loud for visiting with friends.

Great family owned watering hole. I dont go much anymore but in my bar hopping days, this was near the top of my list.

The kind of locals dive we all crave: name on the stool for the regulars, but totally welcoming to n00bz.

Nice cocktails. Weird art. Mid century motifs. Weird 70s porn. Good tacos from the truck outside.

My favorite daytime bar. Good music and cheap happy hour. No hipster nonsense for once. Sweet.

Just the right amount of "dive" in a dive bar. Laid-back, chill vibe, but clean and inviting.
