View from the Deck The San Francisco Bay Area has begun to get some great weather and with days getting a little longer it got me thinking of great places to have a drink outdoors. One of my favorite places is the deck at Quinn’s Lighthouse on the Oakland Embarcadero.
This Bar and Restaurant is located in a historic landmark lighthouse built in 1890. Quinn's serves an eclectic mix of traditional American cuisine and seafood specials.
You can order the full menu from in both the dining room and the pub. My preference is the Pub upstairs. Quinn’s Pub overlooks the marina below and has a view of the Estuary and the Coast Guard Base Government Island. Quinn’s offers all of its patrons peanuts, baskets and baskets of peanuts, that you can shell and then toss the empty casings to the ground.
The bar prices are very reasonable and they offer two sizes of draft beers. The Pub features 8 draft beers and over 58 domestic & imported bottled beers. The bartenders are always generous with there pours and the staff is very attentive. There's an 80-seat outside deck but the place always has a good crowd and with the open seating you may have to jockey for a table.
The burgers are very good, Neiman Ranch, and must recommend the Jambalaya. My wife loves the fish and chips.
Looking for good way to end the day, follow the light to Quinn’s.
