The diner distinguishes itself through its comfortable low-key atmosphere and no bullshit allowed attitude. It serves as a key gathering spot for the neighborhood; a place where friends and neighbors can share a bite after work or break their fast in the morning. The seating is an all around old school u-shaped counter that feels like it was taken out of a Twin Peaks episode. True to the American diner experience you can kind all walks of life at the counter eating together, everyone trying to re-fuel their tank with a hot meal and warm company.

Pretty Lady is located at 1733 Peralta St, Oakland, CA 94607 and is open 8am – 3pm. If you are ever in Lower Bottoms in need of a pick me up, the #2 breakfast plate is sure to hit the spot.
