Cafe Van Kleef

Entertainment

"Cafe Van Kleef could very well be my new favorite downtown Oakland bar. How many other places in Oakland do you know that make their Greyhounds with freshly-squeezed grapefruit? Yeah, I didn't think so. In addition to the greyhounds, which are as good as they sound, the Van Kleef is filled with treasures - knick-knacks, booty, a lifetime of ephemera, even.

I've heard they have live jazz, that you can even write on the bar (post-cleaning), and that the owner developed a DSS (Drink Serving System). The tidbits never stop.

So, if you're in the Oakland area and hankering for a drink, step back to the past, or mellow time, try the Van Kleef."
