If you love dive bars, you'll love Merchant's. Great place to have drinks. Chill place to have a few drinks. In a weird location though. But overall fun place to go.

This is an old time dive bar. It is one of the oldest bars in Oakland but draws an eclectic group of customers from all walks of life.

Honestly, this place made me so sad. It felt like I walked straight into the 1950s. Not only was I aggressively chastised by a group of four men, the bar tender and the door man barely intervened sinc
