Mad Oak Bar N Yard

Mad Oak occupies a downtown corner and spreads the outing across two levels, with a rooftop deck and outdoor patio. Its official offer combines about forty draft beers, cocktails and a kitchen open late. Several TVs show sports, but the FAQ warns that their sound is usually off and reserved for major events. The bar also says it does not show pay-per-view, MMA or boxing, an important limit for anyone arriving for a particular fight card.

The kitchen is counter service rather than table service: guests order at the bar and collect food when it is ready. The menu changes, and current official specials include tacos, fries, corn dogs and tenders at certain times; do not assume every special is available each night. Recent reviews mention the rooftop, cold drinks, food and trivia nights. In warm weather, the mix of screens and outdoor seating can suit groups who want to move between the game and conversation.

The business publishes its address and hours, with earlier openings on Saturday and Sunday and later closing toward the weekend; confirm them before travelling because schedules can change. It is on 12th Street, near the Lake Merritt area, and we found no official statement of business-owned parking. The venue site links its menu and group-event reservations; if you need game audio, call or message first to ask which screens will carry the matchup.
