Schelly’s

Cheap beer with a nice crowd. Good bartenders, ping pong, billiards, shuffle board, and karaōke.
It’s been awhile since I’ve been there but my last few experiences were very pleasant.
It’s sad to say when I tried to go there last night that it was closed due to a suspension of their liquor license. Hopefully they’ll be back and I can enjoy some $ 1.50 Blue Ribbons.

This is the dive bar to beat all dive bars, drinks in plastic cups, very limited liquor selection, and what they do have was clearly purchased at Costco or the store across the street before they closed. What happened to ice cold beer from the tap with a nice chilled beer mug?
What few glasses they did have were dirty and the bartender seemed very out of sorts, he had no idea what he was doing, who just got there or who had been there for hours.
Schelly’s should be shutting the doors soon. Someone wrote they had a lot of tables, the night I went for a friends birthday, I think there were three tables. The way karaōke was set up seemed awkward. I’m not sure what the deal is with food, but they’re good on letting people bring food in from elsewhere, drinks too!
I refuse to state they have a full bar, because in reality they don’t even have a half of a bar stocked.

It’s a dive but a good time!

Im not big on Dive Bars. But if I had to choose one to go to in my area… This would be my first pick…

Couldn’t have picked a better place to host a birthday party for a girl that loves karaōke. They have karaōke every Friday, and we got to be the headliners. Other karaōke places I’ve been to (like the Mint) you MAYBE get to sing once. This place, you can pretty much go as often as you want.
Another plus is good, stiff drinks at a reasonable price. And, lots of tables which make it good for a group.
The only odd thing is that their website claims to have bar food, and I even called to confirm it. However, upon arrival, there was no food. They did, however, allow us to bring in food from the neighboring pizza joint (Porky’s?) and it was amazing pizza!

Schelly’s is an alright dive. A bit more popular with the younger crowd, but its still all ages mixed in, 21+ of course.
They have pretty good drinks at a reasonable price. There’s a juke box, a pool table, and tabletop shuffleboard.
If you wanna just go have a couple drinks with the friends without going out of your way to go to a loud bar with expensive drinks, this is the place to go.

Went here on Saturday to catch friend’s band, last one of the night. (I should take the two prior bands to small claims court for damage to my ears and for noise that makes cat strangling sound melodic.) Drink prices weren’t all that. If you are going to a seedy place you should at least get some value. Ketel and soda was about $ 6 and not that generous of a pore.
Weird mix of folks, part meth crowd, part ghetto, part locals. Nothing about this place is worth going to. Now, If I lived across the street or a few blocks away I might change my tune.
The saddest think was seeing a shuffleboard table in need of a rescue. The poor wooden thing was in bad shape, in need of a bath and a wax and was being used as a garbage shelf. I will stick closer to home next time I want to get my dive-​bar on.

This place is cool, sorta typical dive bar. Last time I was here was for a Bachelorette Party. Cheap drinks + one awesome jukebox + some hoodlum folks = 4 stars!
Someone told me there was a pool table there. I don’t recall there being any pool tables. I don’t know what happened nor were there pictures to prove that existence.
Let me take this one back to the ol’ school ’cause I’m an old fool, to Ready for the World’s «Oh Sheila»:
Oh, oh Schelly’s.
Let me drink up ’til the morning comes.
Oh, oh Schelly’s
You know I want a drink tonight.
Oh, baby it’s 1−2−3,
I need a drink, honestly.

Dive bar goodness! I don’t like dive bars but my friend Catrina invited me to come out to support her promoting gig. I can’t pass up hanging out with Catrina when i’m free. Like any dive bar, its kinda dark with a lot of the local crowd here. It’s actually pretty spacious as well. There is a pool table in the back, a shuffle board, and a band playing near the front of the place. The band played some pretty good music and didn’t sound like they were from sucky suckerville.
Drinks are cheap. For 3 beers i paid 10 $. It’s like 3 dollars a beer. Even the mixed drinks are like 4 $. This places prices make me happy. San Leandro doesn’t really have a bar to hang out at but now i know, Schelly’s is an option. There is always Parker House… but i’m going to refrain from commenting on that place.
Not much more else to say about this place. But i got to throw a baby football around and that was fun considering i was aiming for Steve every time he went to the bathroom. He threw it back at me, missed and knocked over my drinks and the drinks hit Alex R. Innocent bystander.

I got two words for you.
Buck-​fifty PBR’s.
OK, it’s more like «I got a compound word and an acronym for you.»
Who gives a rat’s ass if it’s a dive; the jukebox is decent, the crowd is a delightful mixture of locals old and young and Cal State Hayward (I mean «East Bay») students who are probably also locals.
They even have a ping pong table there. Think Beirut.
It is curious to note that this place seems a bit well lit for a dive bar, or any bar.

Hey, this place is alright.
I went on a Sunday night, and while there were a few people here, they were all much older, and therefore mellow and low-​key. No gross Bro’s slipping roofies in this joint (at least not on the night that I went). I dock one star for the jukebox and the creepy old man factor. I can’t say I didn’t mind listening to six Santana songs in a row, OR the balding, divorced man all up on my nuts. However, the bartender (Mike?) was really cool, and knows how to make a good gin and tonic, according to my accomplice.
I really want to come back, but I feel like I’d need to bring a group with me to avoid more awkward conversations with horny, middle-​aged men.
