George Kaye's Oakland Reviews
We were made to feel so welcome here on our first night in Oakland, had a great experience at this bar. The bartender and the local crowd that night were so friendly. They gave us great suggestions on things to do while in town for Halloween Meltdown. Would of never thought to take the ferry while we were here otherwise and it ended up being a favorite experience on our trip. Great dive bar atmosphere. It was cool to hear about the punk history of the place. The bartender sent us home with homemade spaghetti! We can't wait to visit again sometime.
A truly fine establishment. For most dive bar lovers places like these only exist in our dreams but miraculously you can find it on the corner of 41st and Broadway.The juke box is not only functional but people actually use it. And they play good music. What a concept! Pints for a fair price and generous pours on shots. Where the word stranger doesn’t exist and if it does when you walk in it won’t when you stumble out.

EDIT: Actually, it opened up almost literally the minute I posted this review. I bought myself a round, met a friendly regular, watched the A's game... really cool place. I'll have to go back! ...but not before 4pm on a Saturday... (orig. review: I gave it 4 stars so as not to change the overall rating too much... but this bar wasn't open at 4pm on Saturday April 29th, despite hours listed claiming an opening time of 2pm. Not sure what was going on. The place was highly recommended but I may never find out why... Not until I visit the Bay again perhaps...)
Cheap drinks and good vibes
Awesome bar, great vibes, great people! Ask for Adrian he makes the best drinks!
I love this bar! Small and fun. Been going there forever.
I once met a guy here who was on the run from the Hell's Angels. Interesting convo. Good bar.
Nice local watering hole cheap booze and a good bloody mary
Han coming today to Broadway burrito Garlic Crab ls so good came to try
Little hole-in-the-wall bar owners are very very friendly.
Ted will sort you out. Great bar.
Awesome corner bar great digital jukebox
Great place to grab a drink!
Good music, nice people, has soul.
Geo Kaye’s in Oakland is the quintessential dive bar experience done right. This place has that perfect blend of no-frills charm and a laid-back vibe that keeps you coming back. But what truly sets it apart is Winston behind the bar. He’s a master at his craft—quick with the drinks and even quicker with the wit. Whether you’re a regular or a first-timer, Winston makes you feel right at home with his warm, welcoming energy. If you’re looking for a spot with character, strong drinks, and a bartender who knows how to make your night, Geo Kaye’s is the place to be.
This is a great dive bar. It’s small, pours are generous, good juke box, and a friendly crowd. Easy parking on the street.
As everyone says, wonderful dive bar with classic neon. Good crowd, especially after Mosswood Meltdown. BUT the bearded bartender last night -- super nice, fast, somehow while handling the very full bar by himself, is the reason for the higher rating.

Cheap drinks. Small crowd. Lots of regulars.
This is my local neighborhood bar. EVERYONE is welcome amd made to feel so. Full set of hard drinks, good selection of beer and wine, and a very modern juke box that streams about everything. Today's visit was a long talk at one of the few tables as we mused over a coke and a sparkling water sold to us at a reasonable price.

Meh. Kind of boring. I like the history/novelty but not much to it.
