This famous bar used to be located across the street. When a developer bought the land to put in new condos, a few of the regulars got the crazy idea to move the building across the street to where it is now. Used to be an old bait shop, serves free popcorn, and you can play shuffleboard and / or watch your fave games while kicking back in one of Oakland's oldest bars!
