The Office Cocktail Lounge

I feel like the alley way acts as a moat to weed out all the sketchy people. Or maybe it acts as a magnet. Either way, I'm in.

This is a upscale dive bar or a traditional place where a lot of regulars hang out. They have witty bartenders when I have been in there and the drinks are always strong and good tasting which says a lot and it not easy to do. This is where we always start our visit to beautiful Walnut Creek. I have not eaten here but the food that I have seen other people order looks really good. Salads seem generous in portion size.

Picking bars for me is like a dog walking in circles trying to find a place to lay down. The Office is an unassuming place to drink. No frills, nothing too crazy. It's a dive and it does a good job of that. I've been there twice, once was on Karaoke night and once on a monday. The Karaoke night was what you would expect. Lots of concord folks who can't and should not sing but did their best! Monday was pretty quite, a few local regular types playing pool. I went with a friend and only intended on staying for an hour. Ended up being the last folks in the bar. The bartender was pretty cool, I think her name was Julia but I am bad with names. A few attempts at conversations with super wasted folks was entertaining. I just wish it was a few blocks less to the Office from my house, but that is hardly their fault. I'll be back.
