"If you’re looking for the most resilient bar in Oakland — and perhaps in the country — you can stop right here. Temescal’s Kingfish Pub first opened as a bait shop that served beer over 100 years ago, and it nearly closed when a condo development threatened to raze it in 2014, only to have the shack be physically picked up and moved across the street. The bar looks like a Cal sports museum (essentially the same as it always has) but is now equipped with an outdoor patio that turns into a Bears football big-screen watch party on Saturdays, complete with epic hot dogs, burgers, and more." - Adrian Spinelli
