Alley, Oakland, California Restaurant Details

Food:

If it was all about atmosphere, I'd give The Alley five stars. It's got business cards on the walls, a telephone pole, and a killer pianist that takes requests. This is where all the cool kids hang out, the ones who will not stand the Applebee's and TGIFs of the world. And hey, the food's pretty good too -- where else can you get a steak, salad, tater, veggies, and garlic bread for $15? I can't say I'm a fan of their cash-only policy (or the lack of beers on tap), but I'm just picking nits. This place is awesome.

Food:

Love this dirty place.

Food:

It's very charming. Has old business cards and pieces of paper stapled all over every wall. There is ample space to eat or drink. With cute little light up booths on the side. I believe they have an upstairs but it was closed today. Sunday is Karaoke night +++

Food:

I wanted to love this bar because it has everything that I normally like. Great divey spot with lots of seating, great character. But when I think of a piano bar I think of upbeat and cheerful music- and it was everything but that. They were playing the most depressing music and it was such a buzz kill that we ended up leaving and going to a different bar. It may have been an off night so I'm willing to give them another chance.

Food:

I fuc...... Love this bar. If I where to own a bar this would be it. The food, staff, drinks are all great. You must come to this bar.
