The Alley (GRAND piano)

The Alley has a grand piano, but normally it has a permanent resident taking requests. Patrons put in requests to sing along to classics accompanied by the pianist. It's a piano bar, but quite a unique place as it's far from posh. Even though I live within walking distance, I've only ever gone one time, so I don't know if they have special nights where other folks can tickle the ivories.

Close to public transportation:

But... it'll be crowded.

I know of a bar in Oakland, CA that has a grand piano.
It's called "The Alley" and it is near Lake Merritt.

I recommend you meet at:
Edinburgh Castle Pub

(I do not think it has a piano, but ... um ... it's like a castle.)

I think Lefty O'Doul's has a piano, though.

Yep, to confirm...

I will be there, as will GM Cerberus.  TC sadly can't make it, and will be sorely missed.  GM Cerberus has graciously promised to drink TC's share, however, and we look forward to taking him to ER later in the evening.

And yes, T-shirts will be there for all.

Looking forward to it greatly.

[05:56]<GM Stormcrow> So anyone who can be there for a great old piss-up, with free Illy T-Shirts and all (!) see the forum thread

You heard it here first, people ... T-shirts!

It doesn't necessarily have to be a grand piano. An upright would be fine too.
And let's not make this a deciding factor, next to accessibility and comfort, which should take precedence.

I'll be in town later this week, and will see if I can't get out for a little scouting. I'm thinking about the bar/lounge at Market and Valencia (across the street from Martuni's); I actually used to play and sing there, but they've remodeled a few times since...

We are looking for something accessible by public transit, and we need a grand piano!!!
