I've only been here a couple times, but it is always full of Alameda fine folk. The bar tender was very attentive and caring when I had over indulged before arrival and needed water. They have a great dart board and pool table. All inclusive restrooms. And even though it's usually pretty crowded when I go, they always have room for everyone! This is a hidden Alameda treasure.

The lady behind the bar told me I should learn how to tip when I was very respectful and all she did was grab me a couple beers and than as I’m walking away she was talking behind my back and I was gonna leave a tip when I left I do not recommend

We were allowed to bring our own food in for a birthday party. Great place! Parking: It’s in a neighborhood and we respected the outside noise policy.

Fun "hole in the wall" local bar with a pool table and dart boards. Immediately felt good vibes when i walked in. Drinks were reasonably priced. It's mostly a bar, but they do serve pizza. I tried a piece one time and it was good. I would definitely order a pizza if I'm there hanging out with my friends and we got hungry. I wouldn't go there just to order a pizza tho. In fact I didn't even know that you could order any food until my 3rd or 4th time going there. So, my description is that it's a bar that serves food. Not a restaurant that serves drinks.
