I am having friends come from back east--NYC who are sports/basketball fans and like to watch them in sports bars.
You know the type of place with big flat screens, good beer and lots of other fans.

Not really my scene so I thought somebody might have recommendations.

George & Walts' and the McNally Irish Pub usually have sports on, I watched the last 2 World Series games at McNally's and it was a lot of fun. Pretty much any bar should have flat-screens and sports on, but the games shown out here are usually West Coast teams like the Warriors.

The Pyramid brewery pub in Berkeley is pretty big and has a ton of screens though I don't know if they turn the sound on, maybe they do for big games.

I know you specifically asked about Oakland... so this one may be too far.

Ricky's Sports Bar in San Leandro is an Old Time sports bar and has been voted number 2 sports bar in the nation in the Sports Illustrated poll several times.

Just a thought.

It's been years since I've been to the Hilton... they did have one last time I was there.
