What User doesn't like about The Graduate:
It is a very low key tiny bar that is complete with a juke box, which is very popular with it's regular customers. But when not in use the bar is a comfortable place to enjoy a fantastic dirty martini with friends and hear your conversation. View all feedback. What User likes about The Graduate:
Beverages are cheap/reasonable and the bartenders do an excellent job to keep the scarf away. A man made a female friend feel uncomfortable outside a window and the bartender pulled the blinds down and warned us that he was still in the area when we left. A job when it comes to keeping customers safe! View all feedback.

Great little spot with good drinks, intimate feel, and cool staff. They also have popcorn and Sriracha. CASH ONLY though.

Somewhere between a dive bar and a hipster watering hole exists this old School Oakland gem. Friendly staff, and free popcorn
