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 ...
Read moreGreat metal bar in Oakland with a massive courtyard, and makes you stop wondering where all the cute boys went! A nice reprieve from the steadily wealthier and wealthier Oakland scene, nobody is talking about their new sportscar here and lots of space to see great music most of it metal. 🎸 (though the last 2 metal guys I know who played here were pretty loaded now that I think of it one of them worked at nvidia and the other was a graduate degree engineer from my office ) there’s a baywheels bike share nearby in case you’re scared of leaving your bike locked up here. The courtyard has great seating for people watching, maybe if we do magic incantations all the cool art school girls who have great taste in music...
Read moreAye, 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.
Along with it being 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 sandwich 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....
