George Kaye's - Oakland

If you envision a dive bar, you’re likely imagining something akin to George Kaye's. It has a slightly worn look, with a handful of familiar faces at the bar...

I absolutely love dive bars, and as a long-time resident of the neighborhood, I often considered making this my go-to spot. However, the reality is...

$8 for a bottle of Modelo and below-average service? No thanks. As a lifelong Oakland native and a fan of dive bars, I was really disappointed with my experience here. Especially for...

This is my local neighborhood bar. EVERYONE is welcome amd made to feel so. Full set of hard drinks, good selection of beer and wine, and a very modern juke box that streams about everything. Today's visit was a long talk at one of the few tables as we mused over a coke and a sparkling water sold to us at a reasonable price.

We were made to feel so welcome here on our first night in Oakland, had a great experience at this bar. The bartender and the local crowd that night were so friendly. They gave us great suggestions on things to do while in town for Halloween Meltdown. Would of never thought to take the ferry while we were here otherwise and it ended up being a favorite experience on our trip. Great dive bar atmosphere. It was cool to hear about the punk history of the place. The bartender sent us home with homemade spaghetti! We can't wait to visit again sometime.
