Dive bar holiday drinkup

Oakland Local will host a Dive Bar Holiday Drinkup on Dec. 16 at our favorite (so far) Oakland dive bar, Kingfish Pub & Cafe in the Temescal neighborhood. It's casual, inexpensive, welcoming, amenable to conversation, and definitely NOT posh! Also serves pretty good Ethiopian food from the Red Sea restaurant across the street. Really good free popcorn (serve yourself from the big popper up front). Best of all: Shuffleboard! Amy Gahran and others from Oakland Local will be there from 6-8pm, possibly later. Stop by and lift a glass for the holidays! ------------------ We'd like to schedule our meetups in various parts of town. Want to suggest a neighborhood or venue?
