East Bay Divers - Dive Bar Aficionados

Various Bikes and a hot rod out front. The place is like a big barn on the inside, pool table, lots of Clamper items, internet Juke Box, Huge speakers on the walls, music was good, and it was loud.. We walk to the bar and sitting right there for anyone to enjoy was a current issue of playboy. That's the kind of place this is. The bartender was cute, and the low cut shirt was perfect for her. She was also very nice. This place has the finest bathroom I've ever seen in a bar, looks like it should be in your house. You will not go wrong visiting ABC Rendezvous.

It was a pretty subdued crowd when we arrived. The bartenders name was Mary, nice, she use to work at Black Diamond Brewery. Ordered the drink special, a "Jumper Cable" it tasted like a liquid sweet tart, the shot I had, a "Blue Otter Pop" tasted like a melted blue otter pop, both created by Mary. Don't look for either to published in Maxxim or FHM. The bar area was small, we didn't have any food, although the menu looked pretty good. AJ's has 15 beers on tap, Sa-Weet! The bar has a bunch of banners all over the place unfortunately no one working there knew what sport the teams represented, NewCastle UTD FC? soccer I guess... We did get to meet a local celebrity, Lamori of Lamori productions was in the bar, she was as surely and unhappy as she was the two previous times I met her, she never looked up then either.

Always Busy, as it was when we visited. (you could visit this place at 10:00 on Sunday morning and the place would be half full). Various bikes in the lot. Tony was working, you can't miss him, he looks a little like an older shorter Lurch from the Addams family. Shorty wasn't in the house but we ran into some people from our home bar, great crowd. At the bar, lotto screen on the right, TV on the left. Big ass plasma near the door. internet juke box. Pool Table. Time passes fast here, this place could quickly become your new home bar. everyone knows this place, if you don't believe me just say "do you know Shorty?" next time your in a crowd.

Where its always the 70's! Somebody got a deal on wood paneling. Enough to build an actual ship. Ship pictures? We got ‘em. Porthole mirror? You betcha! Magnificent black Ceiling with sparkles, you will wish you brought your sextant! Old salt bartender behind the bar. What else do they have behind the bar you ask? A fire place, yup, a toaster oven sized fire place! Senior Butrukin notes "it had an aquavelva and pleather” smell. I had to keep going outside to make sure I wasn't in my uncles den. No shag carpet, but I did spot a few rugs. You may run into friends of your parents or an old teacher here.

Concord's Premier live rock venue, Friendly (and exceptionally hot) staff, The only bar in the area with a Spacious patio where alcohol is always permitted. Excellent place to relax on those hot summer nights. This place can hold a lot of people, but you never feel crowded. The patio alone is larger than most bars. Great place to see live bands, which they have about every night. Spacious dance floor. The place can be dark, which is nice, after working all day you don't want halogen bulbs burning out what's left of your eyes. Good regular crowd, friendly. Great bartenders that are unfortunately waaaay under tipped.
