The folks here are very friendly and it's like one of those places where they have friendly relationships with the regulars. The prices here are more than reasonable and they have a pretty solid selection of spirits as well as beers. Came here on a Sunday evening to meet up with a good friend to catch up. We had a few beers and the place wasn't crazy busy but there were a few people in there playing some pool. Just a really solid spot to grab drinks and hang out in the Castro Valley area.

We were just looking for a place to chill, enjoy a drink and hear some music and that's exactly what we got. Wasn't too crowded, probably regular patrons present and a DJ playing a mix of Latin music, hip hop and rap. Definitely don't judge a book by its cover when coming here, it was nicer inside than the outside. The bartender Melissa was very sweet and attentive and made us some yummy strawberry lemon drops. They had a small DJ booth set up, TVs all around playing music videos (none of which matched any of the songs being played but we found it funny), a pool table and large connect 4 available for use with enough space for people to dance. Didn't come in expecting much but left satisfied and had an enjoyable time. And shout out to the guy in his shirt we found thoroughly enjoyed and the lady who was dancing all night like no one was watching, just out here living, I love your life lol

The only reason I rated it 3 stars because the vibes weren't that fun because the format of the building is more of a narrow rectangle rather than a big place to get to know people.

This time around i used my saved up tickets to get a small plush just so i can leave with a prize. Back then, you see everyone holding plushies and walking around. Now, maybe a few lucky winners? They filled a lot of the space with the mini claw machines. Do not play these!! You will not win! The claw strength for most of the machines are zero to none now and they have bumped up the prices for all of the claw machine games. They even force you to pay more for less credits now. Now it's either $120 or $140 ($110 before) and the credits definitely don't last as long anymore. Bad economy i guess. Don't come here if you actually want the prizes After using up 450 credits, i gave up and tried playing one of the marble games, the machine malfunctioned and refused to pay out the tickets. Asked someone to come look, a angry mechanic lady came by and walked around the machine, took a glance and left. I thought they needed to get help or something so i'm just sitting here and waiting for 30 minutes for them to come and try to fix it. Spoiler: they didn't come back to fix it nor come back to give an explanation to us. When i checked back at the reception, they said they sent someone to look at the machine but no one was at the machine(?) I AM LITERALLY SITTING IN FRONT OF THE MACHINE ARE YOU KIDDING ME. Then they sent the same angry mechanic to come back, who gave me a mean glare, opened and tinkered with the machine, couldn't fix anything, and proceeded to walk away without saying a word. Another 15 minutes went by, so i went back to the counter to just ask for my credits back since i don't want to wait anymore. They said they are fixing it and i will get the tickets once they finish fixing the machine. I'm like they aren't even there. But they said they can't give me back my credits -.- Ended up taking an L and just killing off the rest of the card and leaving. It's like they can't afford to let you win It's such a scam Imma just wait until I go back to Japan where it's like a dollar each play and there's actually a chance to win things. Good bye Hayward Round one.

Promptly arrived on time and they took extra care of every detail making sure the floors and walls were not scratched etc. Carl took his time making sure every detail of the install and items in the room will not interfere with the table placement. We picked a vintage table. Having a new one will not blend with the decor and age of the room. A1 pool is the best place to shop and get your new or used table and accessories PERIOD ! This is an update on a recent transaction yet again very satisfied. Years later and they are still the same great to deal with and very professional and will always take care of your needs. They treat you like family. The installs and set up is done with utmost care. 100% recommended and we cant thank them enough. They have a wide selection of tables, cue sticks, pool cue cases and all accessories needed that will match your style both new and old. Stop by and have a look and support our local store.

"Somewhere fun" was my response, and my partner delivered; a short while later we arrived at Turf Club. What a fun and lively place indeed! Everyone looked like they were having a great time, including the bar staff. Our bartender Tony was a breath of fresh air - friendly and unpretentious. He made us some yummy drinks and checked in on us regularly. It wasn't long before Tony and we were all belting out "Smells Like Teen Spirit" together - ah, the fast friendships that form over a bar top. We put on some other tunes on the jukebox as well, and had a blast. No kitchen, but they do have a vending machine with various snacks. Very nice, expansive patio in the back, and they have live music. Such a fun spot, and we will absolutely return.

Andrea kept saying she wanted to go some place fun. Well this was it!!!! Upon walking in there is one of the longest wooden bars I've seen. We found a couple seats almost to the far end and ordered drinks from our bartender Tony. More about Tony later. The Touch Tunes digital jukebox was rocking the whole night from "Teen Spirit" to "Neon Moon" with the aforementioned bartender, Tony, singing away, and dancing as well as most of the other patrons. A little exploring past the bar is a huge room with several electronic dartboards and continuing further is a good size outdoor patio with another bar. This patio looks over a pretty good size stage and seating area. The band was packing up when we got there so not sure what they were playing. Inside at the bar is a huge screen displaying the stage. There where signs for hot dogs but I think they where out. They did have a vending machine for chips, M&M's and other assorted healthy bar snacks. So drinks were good and Tony kept checking to make sure we were ok as well as another bartender who brought out baskets of popcorn for everyone. We will be back to this place for sure!!!

They were about 10-15 other guests but the places so big and spacious that it almost felt like we had a place to ourselves. There's a spot for a DJ/music and I can only imagine that they have some great shows here. The bartender was attentive, and while they weren't very personable you could tell that they knew several of the regulars. I didn't drink anything fancy, bourbon neat, but it was a fair pour. You order food separately. We are fish tacos, wings & nachos. The fish was fried and coleslaw had a touch of mayonnaise but not too much. This was my favorite dish. The wings of the nachos or what you expect, definitely flavorful and cooked well. We liked the crowd and will definitely be back to listen to some music and check out the lounge downstairs.
