Located on Oakland’s Piedmont Avenue, Cato’s Ale House is everything one would expect from a neighborhood pub. With 23 taps pouring local drafts, live music multiple days of the week, and Monday night trivia, Cato’s has all the elements that make a place a community and not just another taproom.

Spend a sunny afternoon in the warmth of their enclosed front porch (great on rainy days too), enjoy their open-air back patio, or sink into the classic cozy pub vibes of the main bar area.

With classics like fish and chips alongside banh mi, burgers, and pizza on their menu, it’s easy to spend a filling and lively evening at Cato’s.
