10 Tried-and-True East Bay Dive Bars for a Boozy Night Out

"Cafe Van Kleef is a quirky Oakland spot, known for its greyhounds and tchotchkes, and generally being a laidback spot to hang out. Order at least one of the few specialty greyhounds at the start, and soak in the artist vibes of the space while you’re there." - Dianne de Guzman
