I would have come to Emeryville last night- we were in the east bay! drat. Shoot! It was a spur-of-the-moment idea on my part. We went to Art's Crab Shack (old 1950s joint in Oakland) afterwards. What an experience! Good crab, but not as good as the crab at Scoma's, Buckeye, or Dead Fish. Great fried zucchini. Strong drinks. Crappy service. Too expensive. Classic decor but tacky add-ons (tons of Christmas cards attached to the wall) and bright lights detracted from the atmosphere. Glad I went finally, but I don't recommend it. We went to the Kona Club for delicious Pegu Club cocktails after. They'll make anything you want with fresh lime and lemon if they have the ingredients. Their rum selection has improved (Demarara, Orinoco). They have tiki mugs and beer taps coming in soon. New jukebox arrived but not working yet. Always a friendly crowd and staff. C'mon TC ohana, show the love for Ben and Al's awesome creation! (at least until Forbidden Island opens) :wink:
