Hook & Ladder Lounge

H&L was recommended to me by an acquaintance and I was not disappointed.  It's a no frills bar and it was a great place for an old buddy and I to catch up on life and have a few beers.  The owner/bartender was very friendly as were many of the regular patrons.  They had the Giants game going on one tube and the A's on the other and the music was played at background levels all evening, allowing us to chat.  By some of the other comments, people went in there expecting more, but it's just a bar.  The only food I saw for sale was beef jerky.  The biggest disappointment was no jar of 20 year old pickled eggs...j/k.  I will definitely go back.

Pretty small of a lounge but reasonable I guess. Was there for my sister's 25th birthday. (None of us were carded so I could've been underage & drinking my butt off! Js, lol.) Other than that, beers were super expensive. $4.25 a bottle of Blue Moon. No 1800 shots, pretty bummed about that but o'well.

Overall, not bad of a place. Not sure if I would go back though. The 'Sex on the Beach' mix drink was eh, okay.

Great neighborhood bar. It is a no frills location that ensures a nice poor at a great price. If you fancy yourself a prince or princess this is not the place for you. If you enjoy watching football or baseball and like casual conversation with the average hard working Joe, you will love the Hook and Ladder!

A little patience will go along way. This is pretty much a one man show, but remember this keeps the cost down and the liquor flowing.
