The Athletic Club Oakland

Oakland Athletic Club has a cool, sporty atmosphere. The food is so-so, but where they shine is their drinks - good quality, though a tad pricey. It's a great spot to meet up, good for couples and small crowds. Solid 4 stars for the vibes and the drinks!

$2 pool/game and $15/hr pool... 4 tables

Great place to watch sports

Wings were ok. Lemonade was ok. Service was sporadic and hard to attain.

4, count 'em, pool tables well kept up!! Great beers on tap.

I come here during college football season. They have PLENTY of TVs. I’m a healthcare traveler from Alabama and I have to watch my Auburn Tigers play. My dad came here from Texas (Baltimore native) to watch the Washington Commanders (red skins) play and I come during baseball season to watch the Washington Nationals. Every time they have been able to find a tv for me/us to watch. It’s hard to find a place that can do that. I hate leaving a review to share my good news because I don’t want others stealing my spot. But, good news is hard to come by these days. I just hope I can always have a spot to sit and watch my games when the time comes. It’s a great sports bar!!

I visited early on a Saturday afternoon-- I was killing time waiting for a bus. It was apparently an "off" hour/day, probably because there were no significant games in progress. I was the only person in the place, which can be awkward. The service from the staff was prompt and courteous. I enjoyed a couple glasses of cider and looked at the menu but didn't have time to eat. I've been here a few times in the past and have found the experience to be reliably positive.
