Atmosphere lives up to its name. Our server was on point with friendliness & very attentive to us. The food was really good & for the price! They had karaoke which was great! Def will be back!

Great food and drinks in this Oakland classic nightspot going back to the prohibition era! Singers are really professional, so practice before you show up if you want to sing. If you have out of town guests you want to show a good, authentic time, take them here!

Ye olde dive bar and restaurant with live music provided by people (e.g.YOU) who sing along with really good pianists. One or 2 evenings there is a guitarist. occasionally there has been karaoke or trivial games. Round Robin order of appearance.

Great place to grab a drink. Request a song and sing your heart out with someone playing piano to the song of your choice.

The Alley! Definitely an interesting place - quite the decor with the business cards attached to the walls. Kind of dirty divey type place. Didn't enjoy that part when I visited the restrooms...Cash only so be prepared in advance.
Service was good overall. Place was kind of empty. Enjoyed the old songs played live around the piano and sang by different people seating around it. I thought that was the best thing about this place.
Drinks were just ok. They don't really do too many cocktails so old school type. Food menu is typical bar food menu at solid prices. We ordered the fried onion rings which were quite oily and heavy before sharing the alley fried chicken. Food was just decent, let's leave it at that.
I didn't really enjoy myself since the hygiene was ok, food was ok and drinks were ok. But definitely an interesting dive bar for those who like that type of scene.

**CASH ONLY BAR** Grabbed a beer after work. Full of regulars. Definitely extremely dive-y crowd. But the ones I spoke to were friendly. Love the interior of this place. Supposed to simulate being outdoors. Sort of reminds me of being on a TV Set. Would return for the ambience. The piano also gave a mellow-type atmosphere on the night I went. Lots of 60s/70s jams in the air.

Dive bar meets piano bar/karaoke bar meets steakhouse. It's got the decor of a dive bar, it's got a person playing the piano or guitar for karaoke singers, and it's got an incredible steak.
I went there for the steak, deciding between this and Palmetto and Wood House, and i was not disappointed.

Iconic music bar. Ultra casual, simple, rustic with great piano and guitar. Great place to hang out with decent drinks!
