The short version

What visitors say about Oaks Card Club

Oaks has been dealing cards on San Pablo Avenue for generations, and the room shows its age: reviewers mention old tables and chairs, worn carpet and a place overdue for a remodel. Players keep coming for the games. It runs around the clock and spreads limit and no limit hold'em along with several California table games. Seats can be hard to get at busy times, and one regular advises joining the list from a phone on arrival.

There is no table service, so players walk to the small bar, and a casual kitchen packs Chinese food and snacks in takeout containers, with some seating to eat. Parking is free but limited. Complaints center on brusque floor staff, loud arguments at some tables and the lack of tournaments, which several players want back.

    Decent card house casino. There's a small restaurant, but it's simply casual dining with orders placed in to-go containers only, although there is seating available for dining. Parking can be limited, but it's free. The bar is small with a quiet crowd.

Place is big and has limit and no limit games as well as other casino style games where you place against the house. For poker, rake is capped at 6$ and there are hourly high hand…

    Everything was great as far as games and atmosphere. There is one floor person, (who is an older female) who is pretty rude for no reason. Even though I travel from across the Bay, she doesn't want people to ask if there are any available games or how many are on the list(When trying to add your name to the list)…
