There is a beautiful bar, nice lounge feel and pool table.
Lost Weekend Lounge
2320 Santa Clara Ave.
+1 510 523-4700
This is a great neighborhood bar with a solid selection of beer, friendly, zero-attitude bartenders and a good jukebox. Check out their collection of lava lamps above the bar.
Lucky 13
1301 Park St.
+1 510 523-2118
Great beers on tap, motorcycle friendly, a jukebox that pumps out good music, and they have a bbq in the back if you want to grill something up.
Forbidden Island Tiki Lounge
1304 Lincoln Ave.
+1 510 749-0332
One of the owners is a former bartender of the venerable Trader Vic's so it's not surprising he and his cohorts have opened a bar that comes with all the 1960s-esque island interior fixings--waterfalls and bamboo trimmings.
