Such a wonderfully terrible bar. It's so good you really shouldn't go. Highly recommend!

I’ve loved this bar for over six years! They make awesome drinks without overcharging you for atmosphere - the divey vibe keeps it casual while the quality keeps it hot and happening every night. The hidden gem of Emeryville. If you’ve never been, you’re missing out!

Amazing bar, love it, if you get served by Ross you're very lucky but all the staff are great.

Comfortable, quiet, surprisingly spacious. Good house cocktails with nothing fussy or fiddly. Great taps. Quick, welcoming, and concise service. Excellent Wednesday trivia. Nothing more than it needs to be, nothing less than you would hope it to be. Highly recommended.

Please don't go here!!! Lol. I don't want it to change all. I love it because it's filled with locals. Cocktails are creative and yummy. Variety of beers. People are friendly. You can talk to anyone and feel safe. If you smoke, please step away from the bar entrance and keep it down so we don't disturb Neighbors. It's a neighborhood bar. If you come here, Be cool, relax, be yourself.

Neighborhood bar with a cast of local characters. Great lighting, nice decor, jukebox, pinball & I believe a pool table as well. Modest prices for draft beer & I think cans might have been even more reasonable. Look for Chris behind the bar - he will make sure you never go thirsty plus has an ability to keep a conversation intriguing.

I'm always looking for places that don't have a TV on as the standard. Thank you for letting me enjoy a refreshing libation in peace! Quiet, calm atmosphere at 6pm. I asked for something interesting from the bartender and he said if I didn't like it he'd make me something else. Wow! I normally don't get that kind of treatment. Loved the Iron Man pinball machine and the name sake of the bar (Rufus the wolfhound) strutting his stuff. Whenever I'm in the area I'll be back.

This is my favorite bar. Everyone that works there is so friendly, Greg, Kenya, Tati, Eric, etc I cant remember everones name, they are the best bartenders in oakland. The door guys are so welcoming. Wolfhound is Everyone's magical living room. So special. Keep it up. Games, art, pool, pinball, friendship.
