Getting a new bar & restaurant off the ground is hard enough. But during the height of the pandemic it became a crazy roller coaster ride for Matt Meyer and Daniel Paez, the co-owners of Low Bar in uptown Oakland. Now that their business is one year old and thriving, Matt & Daniel reflect on the wild journey that got them here and five songs that capture the vibe of this popular Chicano bar/eatery.

Matt & Daniel's Selections:

1. Time Hard - The Pioneers (1972)

2. Como La Flor - Selena (1992)

3. Un-Break My Heart - Toni Braxton (1996)

4. For You - Ago (1982)

5. I Want To Be Your Man - Roger (1987)
