Bank Club Cafe

3900 San Pablo Ave.
Emeryville, CA 94608
510-652-4381
Emeryville

Owned by an elderly couple who still tend bar, this is damn near the definition of a neighborhood dive: drinks are dirt-cheap, the clientele is composed of an eclectic groups of regulars, and the entertainment includes a pool table, TVs, and a legendarily cheap jukebox — or you could just pass the time people-watching.
