Wolfhound Bar — Restaurant in Oakland

1.0 star rating 9/8/2016 I have been a regular patron to Wolfhound for the last two years, tipping well, and I am 55 years old.

More than once I have turned to person next to me and gotten involved in a conversation with a talented jewelry designer, ceramicist, painter, grad student. Even met an editor of a popular ezine. Almost always a fun...

I'm always looking for places that don't have a TV on as the standard. Thank you for letting me enjoy a refreshing libation in peace! Quiet, calm atmosphere at 6pm. I asked for something interesting from the bartender and he said if I didn't like it he'd make me something else. Wow! I normally don't get that kind of treatment. Loved the Iron Man pinball machine and the name sake of the bar (Rufus the wolfhound) strutting his stuff. Whenever I'm in the area...
