      I just did.

      However I am new to the area so I do not know where the most row of dive bars for a lonely hearts anti-V Day could be hopped to

      I know Grand with Smitty's and The Alley and some other across the street

      Then there is Van CVleef (not really a dive) with Radio down the road and don't know what else may be in the area over there

      Any ideas?

        We did the downtown Oakland thing on the Oaktown SantaCon...we hit Van Kleef, Radio, Ruby Room, Lake Merrit, and the Oasis, if I remember right. There's also the Uptown Lounge around there too.

        Not that I'd be able to make it, as I'm sure to be crawled otu for a while after this weekend.

        The Serenader is between grand and lakeshore- that would be a great place to kick off the anti v day thing.
        That would be at least 4 within a few blocks.

        Downtown Oakland:
        CVK
        Radio
        Ruby Room
        Pats on Harrison and 17th (though they may not be open on a tuesday)
        That new place on telly with the big neon guitar out front- where the Black Box theatre used to be.

        Uptownish-
        Lukas
        Stork Club

        Way Downtown-
        Wherehouse
        Heinholds
        Everrett and Jones BBQ
        There are a couple of other smaller bars in the produce and Jack London district too

        I feel like an alcohloic knowing where all these places are.

        If you are looking for divey, I recommend Connolly's and the Silver Lion on Telegraph and the 40s streets. There is also the Kingfisher at Claremont and Telegraph and a few more than I can't remember right now.

          there is a red beans and rice joint across the street from the kingfisher that serves drinks too. The italian club is a members only club down the block too.

            Is the Kingfisher still open? Last I heard they were closing down.

            The new Connolly's is at 48th & Telegraph, around the corner from me, plus Lanesplitter 2 across Tele from that. Silver Lion one block north.

            They are trying very hard to gentrify the area. Lots of upscale eateries going in.

          I'm down to drown out the Hallmark imposed holiday with a lil booze. I too won't be able to meet up until after 9ish. How do we find you peeps at that time?

            Hmmm....9 is to late for me, I'd probably have to start home around 9 or 9:30 (it takes awhile to get back home via public transportation and the later it is the sketchier it is!)

            Doesn't sound like Tuesday's going to work out....I'll see you all around at another event, I'm sure!

              I started this thread so I will call want I want! (sorry being facetious)

              I would like to be in all black, like for a funeral.
              I don't care for what reason you are anti-valentine day, whether it's boo hoo or fuck yeah I am finally single! It doesn't matter!
              I want to go to the Ruby Room, then maybe go to the Radio, and I saw some other bar ny the Ruby Room, but can't remember the name now
              And I want it to start at 7:00pm

              There I said what I wanted, like someone asked when I started this thread!! tee hee

                Hmm, now that I think about it, I'm not entirely anti-V-day, but I don't have any plans for tomorrow night since my BF and I are going up to a cabin in the Sierras this weekend and so we are pretending that V-day is on Saturday.
                So, I am guessing I would not be sufficiently bitter.
