Casual neighborhood dive bar with a friendly vibe. Good drinks, reasonably priced. The patio out back has tables. Citizen Pizza had an oven out back and was serving their original recipe pizzas. I can recommend the Don Ho which is a Hawaiian pizza with jalapeños, and the Outside Voice which is a combination style with tater tots on it. This was my first visit there, so I will have to update this review as appropriate. Parking is on the street, but it's not a bad neighborhood as far as Oakland/Berkeley standards go. The bar is about 50 yards from the Berkeley Chess School, so I will be going there after class on Thursdays for awhile. The bar's name is an homage to the USS Missouri battleship.

Drinks were strong but only tasted okay. The back patio is a great place to hang out. Music was excessively loud inside.

The neighborhood is complete again after a 4+ year hiatus. On soft opening day, it was busy but service was fast and bathrooms are as always…scary but clean. Bonus: 4 new bathrooms outside. Patio vibe is still top notch, friendly share picnic tables, other people’s puppies. My favorite bar in the Bay.

Fun place. Friday is Taco night. Just three choices. But there only needs to be one. The fish tacos are OUT OF THIS WORLD!
