Everything about this place is funky. The decor is kitschy and decrepit and Rod Dibble has been pounding out the sing-along show tunes here for millenia. A truly Oakland experience.

The best piano bar in the Bay Area. The decor looks like you are in a NY alley. Ron Dibble, behind the piano, keeps things moving almost every night. A very friendly bar for everyone.

Charming, but not enough for a night out.

Rod Dibble, an Oakland institution, makes this neighborhood piano bar a good place to while away the evening in song.
