Family and friends gathered on Saturday to celebrate the life of bar Café Van Kleef’s owner, who passed away on Tuesday, leaving behind his legacy as the “godfather of Uptown Oakland.”

Join us for a special Halloween broadcast as we tour the basement of a spooky building in downtown Oakland.

The Nightcap is a series that features a favorite Oakland drinking establishment every Friday afternoon. This week, it’s Make Westing, the newest bar to open in Uptown.

Meet the next watering hole in our new bar series, The Nightcap: Cafe Van Kleef. Back in 2000, it was the only bar on the block. Thanks to owner Peter Van Kleef and his unique way of decorating the bar, it has only grown in popularity since.
