The information on google map is totally incorrect, the app says it was open, but when I went there, it was closed. It’s hard to tell whether it is permanently closed or what exactly was the situation. No signs of explanations. I’ve heard great things about this place, about the food, the drink, and the live music, and I really wanted to check it out. Perhaps the owner of this place could pay more attention to these apps and keep the information up to date? So people wouldn’t come for nothing???

I myself and my band, Purple Smoke, were playing there last night. We had a great time. The crowd was very engaged and very enthusiastic. The place itself is wonderful. They have a back section with a beer collection that is quite impressive. The music of course was great and we did have a jam session in the last set of the night. It was a great experience. I highly recommend. Jam nights are usually on Mondays. Come and enjoy the fun!

Aye, a great divey punk bar in the east bay. Ideal outdoor space, inside there’s a small stage for intimate shows. Metal core is blaring in the background, and there are two stocked pool tables. Drinks are affordable and stiff, and people are just having a great time. Asking with just a cool spot, there is some great food too. Pop up by Lula’s pit was so good! There was a delicious vegan sandwich option, but for omnivores, the tri-tip sand which was also delicious. The mac and cheese was also insanely good, a ton of flavor and I loved that they used farfalle pasta. Definitely will be back here soon. Thanks Eli’s!

My favorite West Oakland bar. Giant outdoor space in the back, with it's own back bar. Pinball and pool in the far back. Awesome bar food with vegan options. Great live music from locals and touring bands often as well

rs prior to Stephan being there with my dog on the leash as you can see in the picture. But Instead of running to me with concern that a dog just bolted out the front door, this employee just causally let him out with not a care or one ounce of concern. Not a drop of good will in this male. I will never come back during his shift and encourage everyone I come across who lives in Temescal to stay away during Stephens shift. He is a real piece of work. So the story ends with me getting my dog 2 minutes after he went outside and coming back in to Eli’s to get my laptop. Once I got the dog and was talking to the bartender, about what happened, this employee he had the audacity to walk over to me and say “sorry I couldn’t baby sit your dog” not: glad you got him back or even hope he is okay. Sorry about that. Nothing. And remember, he never bothered to walk over and say your dog just ran outside. People like this get Karma in the worst ways. It was almost like he wanted something bad to happen. What an evil dude. Not a good impression. Letting my community members know. Get there before 5:30 when the shifting change happens and the evil door dude shows up 🚶🏽‍♂️

Great indoor/outdoor cool grundge vibe. Mole' and mushroom taco 🌮 was super tasty!

Beloved neighborhood/dive bar. Cocktails, beer, murals, graffiti, bike racks, large back patio with food. Fun crowd/bartenders.

It's a dive bar with live music and food. Bartender was great. Tater tots are delicious. I'm not drinking anymore but bartender was able to make me a root beer using Italian soda syrup. Back area is large and very cool. You can smoke cigarettes out back which is nice.

You'll find cheap booze, good beer and awesome food in a dive bar atmosphere complete with live music. The back patio features plenty of seating and a couple of pool tables. The only drawback is how smoker friendly they are, as evidenced by the plethora of ash trays and smokers to be found out back.

A Really cool place, nice drinks, nice outdoor patio area for smokers, indoor stage area with lots different bands playing but the best kept secret is Monday Night Blues night with really great blues bands playing for free and a jam session later in the evening. Check it out. I highly recommend this as a night out.

If you want a place that has everything from punk shows to indie markets + amazing food menu late night and super cool, chill patio to have convo's with your buds!

excellent punk bar with vibes, food, great music and plenty of space. a top notch website and patreon as well!

Dark dive bar with good people. Stage with a sound system and good sound guy. Great food made fresh at reasonable prices. Nice patio out back with tables and a pool table. No sink to wash you hands though. Place is overall dirty, floor, walls, and tables are cracked and breaking.

Cool large bar in residential part of Oakland. The front bar has a wide variety of live music, the back part of the bar has open ceiling, a few pool tables and the bar and seating areas are largely made out of shipping containers. Lots of street art and graffiti, so has a urban feel. Drink prices are reasonable for the bay area.

Great place for shows. Love the patio. But for the love of god bring back the vegan corndog. When the bartender told me it was discontinued it almost ruined my night.
