The Alley Piano Bar & Restaurant
T

he Alley is one of the last great piano bars in America, tucked near the Grand Lake Theatre by Lake Merritt and going strong since 1933. The magic happens around the piano: a live pianist plays nightly while patrons take the mic for sing-alongs through the Great American Songbook and beyond. The walls are papered with tens of thousands of business cards, the booths are cozy and diner-like, and the drinks are famously strong. Classic American fare — steaks, chicken, burgers — rounds out the experience. There's nowhere else quite like it. A one-of-a-kind Oakland night out.
