    This was a fun bar to stop by to watch the Penn State football game and play pool. We ordered a pitcher of Death & Taxes black beer to share which was delicious. It wasn't busy during the time we went but would be a good place to just hang out and grab few beers with friends.

    Bud Light! Ice cold.

    Coldest Bud Lights in Oakland! Service is always on point, food excellent, and the crowd even better.

    Our drinks and the tequila hibiscus shot for a cause.  It was yummy.

    Didn't have the food here but I hear others liking them. The ambience is wonderful. Brings me back from old times when we used to come here. The service is awesome as well. We have rediscovered one of our favorite bartenders from another establishment that are working here now. The billiard community here is also a treat to be around. Respectful people around and we always have a good time coming here.

    Street parking Cash Only ATM inside AMI digital juke Pool tables They have Direct TV packages for different sports so if you're looking for a certain game-- you would likely find it here. I was told they had vegan food but I didn't think I would want bar food so I ate beforehand. We went for College Basketball and the bartender was accommodating when we were figuring out where to sit to watch the game and when asked to turn up some volume.. They've got several TVs so different games can be watched.. The place has a divey vibe with regular bar prices.. I overheard someone tell another they had good food. There were restrooms in the back-- one for men and one for women. I'd come back and catch more games there.. drinks were good and maybe next time I'll look into food options..

    Adorable local bar and grill. Stumbled upon this nugget while driving home, and was craving American burgers and some beers. People here felt very connected and friendly, service was good. Ordered their special burger and drinks. Burgers was huge and juicy; one of the better cheeseburgers I've tasted in a while. Fries are amazing, and what can I say? Good vibes all around!

    An old Raider fan landed in Contra Costa 25 years ago. Of course Raider games are not televised here. Not many places to watch Raiders games. Today I decided to try visiting an Oakland sports bar to watch the game. George & Walts was the closest to the tunnel so I gave it a shot. The area feels like Berkeley. Street parking is somewhat available. Free on Sunday. There is a heat wave currently. It's hot inside. Summer is almost over; but replace the ceiling fans. They had multiple games on. No sound. The place is well used. The staff and patrons I spoke with were pleasant people. Had a couple hazy drafts and watched the Raiders loose. 49er fans were not too rude. The 510 fan smoking his cigar right outside the open window made the hot atmosphere a little more unpleasant. I'll be back when it's not so hot to watch a game.

Many beer and mixed drink options but Unfortunately, the food really missed the mark. I ordered chicken tenders and fries, and both were disappointing. The chicken tenders were very dry and lacked flavor, definitely not what I was expecting. I'd give them a 2/5 at best. What really upset me was the fries. I paid an extra $2 to upgrade to the garlic Yeti fries, but they came out as plain fries. I asked for it to be fixed, and when they brought them back, it was just Parmesan sprinkled on top no garlic at all. If I'm paying extra, I expect it to be made correctly. Customer service was just okay. Staff was polite, but when my order was wrong and I asked for it to be fixed, it still came back incorrect. Not much effort to make it right, especially after paying extra for an upgrade.

As it turned out, he's a regular and wanted to have the party here. Question answered. When my brother and I arrived at the venue, the staff was setting up the food, which was served buffet style. They were very friendly and welcoming. The interior had an old school, neighborhood bar feel. It totally reminded me of the TV show "Cheers". The buffet spread was incredible. Except for the whole roast pig, everything was made in house. The baked salmon, roast sirloin of beef, prime rib beef stew, ribs, and chicken were all cooked nicely and delicious. During the middle of the party, one of the owners busted out the karaoke machine and the party went from good to great! A wonderful time was had by everyone. Great friends, chill vibe, and delicious food. What else do you need for a great party? IMHO, Grand Oaks did a great job. I look forward to come back and try their other dishes. 5 stars. BONUS MATERIAL: - Street parking only. - A certain Bay Area celeb hangs out here. I saw her that day.

    We celebrated our mom's birthday at Wood Tavern. The food and drink were delicious and service was…read moregreat. Five stars. For details, keep reading. Wood Tavern met the criteria for a relatively nice American restaurant in North Oakland. We visited for lunch and wanted to make this special for our mom, so we were perhaps a bit overdressed in business casual, but this is Oakland after all. On an ordinary Thursday, there were multiple groups waiting outside for the restaurant to open at 11:30 AM. That in itself should tell you how popular this place is. My wife and I dined at sister restaurant Southie next door a few years ago and really enjoyed it (I also rated it five stars on Yelp), so I was confident Wood Tavern would not disappoint. I initially booked our reservation using OpenTable to link it to my account and get 100 points. Since the max party size for Wood Tavern on OpenTable is four, I had to call to get it changed to eight. Due to the large party size, the restaurant also required me to give them my credit card info and be subject to a $25 per person no-show fee. Upon arrival, our tables were ready for us in the back corner near the open kitchen. The restaurant is true to its name with a shared bar and dining room space that evoke the feel of a wood tavern. Here's what we had: Wine of the Day * Rosé (100% Zweigelt), Stefan Pratsch, Niederösterreich, Austria, 2024 ($16) "N/A Libations" and other drinks * Cherry Bomb! non-alcoholic cocktail ($13) - Tilden Lacewing, Amarena cherry, lime, ginger beer, tall glass * Shirley Temple ($5) * Diet Coke ($5) * Iced Tea ($4) Soup & Salad * Red & Golden Beet Salad x2 ($16 each, one with fish added for $8) - frisee, castelfranco, pistachios, orange segments, Laura Chenel goat cheese, Cara Cara orange vinaigrette Sandwiches * The Hot Pastrami x2 ($25 each) - Emmentaler cheese, Dijon-horseradish dressing, La Farine baguette Old Reliables * Seafood Stew ($32) - rock cod, Manila clams, PEI mussels, calamari, butter beans, fennel, leeks, chili flakes, garlic toast * Pork Ragu Casarecce ($30) - Castelvetrano olives, Pecorino Romano, Grana Padano, chili flakes, parsley * Tavern Burger with French Fries on Acme Soft Bun with All the Fixins x3 ($25 each, two with cheddar added for $2 each) Everything was excellent. As for what to order, I recommend all of the dishes we got. It really just depends on what you like and/or what you're in the mood for. Everyone loved the food. The beet salad was fresh and flavorful, the pastrami was one of the best I've had anywhere, my mom raved about the seafood stew, my brother-in-law gobbled up all of the casarecce, and the burger was outstanding. Service was polite and speedy. Our server Sophia C was awesome. We split one of the salads and the stew, so they came out plated and served in half portions which was nice of the kitchen staff to do.

    Those who know me, know that I'm not a fancy guy. Which is why I always get the reliable pastrami…read moresandwich at this place. It's good and a solid meal for the price point. The pastrami sandwich comes on a baguette, which I love. It's nice to sharpen my teeth on that crunch. The pastrami itself is made in house, and it's delicious. They cut it fresh. It also comes with a small side of coleslaw. They use a Dijon dressing that is absolutely fantastic. Be sure to ask for extra dressing.
