The place is a big dive bar with a lot of TVs for sports watching!!! Love the bartenders! They're attentive and nice!!!Cleaner and larger than the other dive bars around the neighborhood!!!Best selection of beer, wine and liquor!I am an avid football watcher, so every game night here is awesome because all the TVs and locals go to watch many games at once!!!There isn't food except some chips, but it's kewl! Street parking!Clean and large restrooms

Bar tender/owners kid thought he had one up on me. Thought he could add $10 to my tab thinkin I wouldn't notice. When I confronted him about it 2 days later, he tried to tell me I bought drinks for other people. This bar has no integrity what so ever. Do not recommend showin up here if you got status in other bars.

Sunday was my sister's birthday and she really wanted to play pool. We (10 Black women from the Bay Area) walked into parkway lounge around 11:00 pm and there was about 8 customers inside. Us walking into that bar brought a new layer of life and love. We were in great moods and the customers inside also responded warmly. A few of us do not drink including myself, but we left it up to the drinkers and the birthday girl! 1. The Asian woman (the same one everyone is complaining about) walked up to three of my sober friends and told them they were running off customers becuase they weren't buying drinks (how does that work?) 2. After being inside for about 10-15 minutes she had a black man,( who seemed like a regular and was already drunk) come to us and ask for IDs. He was nice but couldn't answer why he was suddenly checking our IDs. Obviously she doesn't check IDs all the time this was her way of marking her territory. 3. She had a mean ass look on her face the entire time. She also told us that if we weren't all going to buy a drink then we needed to leave. Meanwhile she was overserving this drunk ass white man who got kicked out of Lakeside Lounge for being ridiculously intoxicated. 4. My girls played doubles on the pool with other clients, who were also really confused on why this Asian woman was being rude as hell to us. 4. At one point one of my girls just couldn't stomach her prejudice ass attitude and let her know that she was alienating all of us. 5. A white woman in the bar overheard the Asian woman talking to us and even tried to step in to let her know her behavior was out of control. 6. When a few of us tried to order more drinks she purposely kept avoiding us and finding little things to do to take her time. (This is some narcissistic ass bullshit) 7. Only been there twice and I WILL NEVER GO BACK!!! I hope you are reading this because you seriously need to get your shit together before you are called out on being a racist establishment.

I was taken here by my friend who comes all the time, and she mentioned it was dog friendly. Well, I went in there and as soon as we entered, this petite Asian lady told us to leave because I had my support animal. I told her he was my support companion and she said she didnt care. This is so discriminating! She was so rude about it too.

I was skeptical about this place, especially when I first entered and saw scantily-clad women grinding up against one another and grooving to some mediocre hip-hop jams. But I figured that since Brian G. and I rode our bikes from across town to check the place out, we should give it a fair shot.I'm glad we stuck around.Although the crowd was rambunctious, everyone was also totally nice and the crew dancing by the pool table didn't act super annoyed every time I'd have to ask them to move so I could make a shot. Also, drinks were good, bartenders were nice and there were two pool tables. Win.Weird thing: around midnight, the whole place seemed to clear out. Our new billiard buddies told us that it was a pretty standard occurrence; post 12:30, the only people still around are either A) alcoholics or B) those playing pool, because everyone else comes on Friday nights to see DJ What's-His-Bucket. In short, I had way more fun here than I have at maybe any other bar in Oakland. That's not saying much, considering I haven't checked out more than a handful, but it's a start.

I was a little skeptical at first about coming here after celebrating a friends birthday who lived only a block away. But this place was pretty awesome!It's pretty spacious with a few TVs to watch games, fights, etc. I liked how the walls was a few sectioned chalkboard you can freely write/draw on! There are pool tables, jukeboxes, and plenty of seating!I wished the bartender was a bit more happy...or at least LOOKED a bit happy to be there but oh well. Perhaps there are other bartenders on other nights?Maybe I"ll go back a different night :]

This place was so fricking cool! It is most definitely a dive bar and mostly locals in here, with a few UC Berkeley or Silicon Valley yuppies drifted in. When I asked for a SWEET drink the bartender was like UMMMM I can add simple syrup to whatever you get. So, that is what the missing star is for - it would be nice if the bartender knew what to make or at least gave me a few drink suggestions when I wanted something sweet. (hint: use google) Otherwise, the staff was very nice, two pool tables and a jukebox (so the music was as eclectic as the crowd). I will probably go back.

My First Negative Yelp ReviewEven after a cool off period this still bothers me; so here I go. I've been to this spot before; I guess I was lucky and just avoided this bartenders vibe. STORY1: Went there to meet some people and watch Dubz game.! I sat with friends bartender comes up asks what i wanted. Friends had already bought a pitcher I figured I'd get the next. "Just glasses please" the lady kinda mean mugged me but brought glasses over. I went on to buy a pitcher for the group. Later I hear the same bartender spelling a word to two white patrons at the bar. I overheard and I made a mental note. Later after our group buys another pitcher I ask if she has WiFi she says no and walks away. I look on phone and see that the bar obviously has WiFi I try the word I overheard and nothing. A few minutes later I'm like "are you sure no WiFi?" She says no again with the same mean mug. I rethink what I overheard her spell and bam I get in. I don't think it's cool the other folks were given the code; we were both paying. The only difference was that I'm black and they were white. I really wanted to say something smart talk a little shit but I didn't. I figure I know the code now I even tipped her $3 on a $17 pitcher (I know kinda tight) I should have gave nothing. I wish it ended there. STORY2: (All takes place in under 6 minutes) My friend and I go in 2 days later to watch another Dubz game (playoffs) We sit away from bar as we were waiting for the 3rd member of our party. Within two minutes she's barking at us to buy drinks. And we can't watch tv without buying. I respond we are waiting, give us a sec etc.. Two minutes later she's back there giving us the drink signal (?) I kinda can't believe she is being so rude. I turn to my friend in shock. She then goes and turns the two TVs nearest us away from the game... Wow. We get up and leave. Now this story is very similar to the other 1 star stories for this bar. As the manager I guess this lady has a right to be a racist ass. But all who patronize this place should know she is a racist ass too.
