The Avenue

A Halloween themed dive bar open year round. During October, they need up their decorations to maximize spooky vibes. They have a pool table, cheap drinks and cool staff. It's walking distance from tall boy and other fine eateries!

This is a cool bar with friendly vibes and no dramaThis bar was on our list for our X-mas Pajama bar hop and I am glad we made it hereDrinks are good, prices are reasonable and I cant wait to come back here

This is the place for year round Halloween lovers! I can't believe I hadn't heard of this place up until this year. Reasonable prices, good drinks, spooky vibes. Bartenders are attentive and chill.They decorate even MORE during Halloween time, and heard they do it up for Christmas as well. 10/10 bar and vibes. The one iffy thing I'd say is if you're driving there, be aware of the risks that come with parking in the area. Even though it's a "nicer" part of Oakland, no one's safe when it comes to getting your car bipped. Seen so many cars when I left with the windows smashed. Sigh.

A year round Halloween dive bar?!? What a dream come true!We were in the area wasting time before our dinner reservation and stumbled upon The Avenue. The skeletons on the outside caught my attention and I knew we had to check it out.The inside was a mix of a dungeon and a nerdy guy's bedroom who likes to collect Halloween decorations and toys. Skeletons line the ceiling and even the fireplace. There was a signed "Helter Skelter" book from Charles Manson and a guillotine on the back patio.The bartender was friendly and the drinks were decent - pricey, but decent! Even the bathrooms were a sight to see! I just love funky places like this and visiting made my little weirdo heart so happy!

Calling all Horror and creepy vibes lovers! The Avenue is a great place to grab a drink and enjoy some good goth music. I was pleasantly suprised to know they host Drag Shows and they had one on the dag of my visit. Super fun and good for groups. They have a billards table and seating in the back but also plenty of seating in the front and outdoor. The drinks were good and the bartender was fast and kind.

So much to look at! Get a drink and play iSPY, def a nightmare/xmas vibe...but way more exciting though. Fast service and decent drinks!

Coolest bar in the Bay. Maybe California. Maybe the galaxy. What did I do in a past life to deserve a horror-themed dive bar within walking distance? There are places one should go. This is one of them. Have fun.

The Avenue is the all year round Halloween decor dive bar located in Oakland in the Temescal area off of Telegraph. Located in the area where a lot of restaurants are, we tend to come here while waiting to be seated for ramen or after getting some Cuban sandwiches. Watch out where you park here because it's bip central. But The Avenue has a full bar with cheap drinks, brews, and everything. They have a pool table, tons of seating areas, and other activities and I think you can watch games here. Service is great and a vibe inside.

This is a cool dive bar! Last time I was there, lots of young people were chatting and drinking their brews. Hanging out at the bar, and other places.Cheap drinks!!! A great place to gather with your peeps! Or maybe reach out6 make new friends. The atmosphere is "spooky", funny, and festive! I am impressed how well the place works together visually. It just all flows. Imagine Halloween all year.There are lots of different areas where friends can hang out, and drink. Or play pool? Or cuddle with a friends in front of the fireplace.I noticed that the ceiling looked different than the last time I was there. There had been a severe ceiling leak, that the owner fixed it, and re-designed the ceiling decorations. There is alot to see. Each time you go, I recommend going to a different area to check out what is to be seen. Also, walk all the way to the very back and check it out. If you have friends coming in from out of town (that like to drink) this is a unique place to take them that they will probably remember. Or get to know your friends in the East Bay better.

Love the Avenue - cool decorations, cheap drinks. One of my fav after dinner drink spots
