Re: “1192 Folsom”
Amazing and total mix-it-up venue; though you never know what event is going on when you show up, they always deliver, the security is fabulous, the staff is courteous and inviting, and the decor is freakin awesome. The have 2 different rooms you can dance in and one whole bar room all equipt with gold couches and hand painted coffee tables all over (they even have cute stenciled F8 logos in the corners!). Even in the backroom, which is smaller, the DJ is heard completely and without any clash between the the smaller and the larger rooms and it looks like they actually take care of the decor; there's a giant mural on the back wall that is apparently changed seasonally. I would totally recommend going here on a night with the bands (Tuesdays,) or for Housepitality (free champagne from 9-10) or on Saturdays when Trapp City is hosting the evening.
Re: “Starbucks”
Off the beaten trails. Nice place to relax, write, spend time that's usually not so crowded and has a decent view of trees.
Re: “Portal”
Awesome food and atmosphere. The owner is incredibly accommodating and conscientious of the guest. Love the variety of food and multiple beers. The patio on a sunny day is THE place to be!
Re: “Yoshi's Oakland”
They made me the best grilled goat cheese sandwich ever! And a Redbull vodka to go with it.
Re: “New Karibbean City”
To have been in Oakland all these years and still be here standing tall. Says a lot about the longevity of a good time in the East Bay! Under rated! Should not be over looked! :-o
Re: “The Graduate”
They've got cheap drinks, friendly bartenders, free popcorn, a jukebox, and cheap drinks.
Re: “Cato's Ale House”
They ahve excellent food (now with REAL FRIES) and great staff members, not to mention a great drink selection and cool atmosphere. The people watching from the covered patio is great, too. And, ahem, trivia night.
Re: “Wally's Cafe”
Wally's is awesome. It's really unlikely to find good Lebanese food. This hits home pretty close.
Re: “The Graduate”
Best dive in the East Bay hands down!

Re: “The Layover”
Yet another black bar to get eat'n by the hipster gentrification wave. Ugh!
Re: “Dorsey's Locker”
What does the first line in your review mean, dorseydon? Inside joke of some sort? Inquiring minds need to know!
Re: “Egbert Souse's”
Avoid Egbert Souse's on Piedmont Avenue. Egbert Souse needs to be closed! Egbert Souse's is a nuisance at all times of the day and night. Egbert Souse has a negative impact on Piedmont Avenue residents, visitors and businesses. Egbert Souse's customers are always blocking the sidewalk in front and around the bar. Fights break out at least twice a week (including with weapons). Customers sit in their cars playing loud music while drinking and using drugs. The City of Oakland has even filed lawsuits against Egbert Souse's. How many people have to be shot and killed at Egbert Souse's to get it shutdown?
