Its easy to get to and from the Fox Theater on BART - the 19th St. Oakland BART Station is less than a block away. Read more.
They certainly don't make theaters like this anymore. Beautifully restored art deco-ish interior...great place to catch a concert!
Best place for a live show! Better than the Warfield!
Outstanding Cubano sandwich, the best fish tacos I've had in the Bay Area, refreshing aguas frescas, and superb customer service.
What a Mexican restaurant in Cuba might feel like. Maybe the East Bay's best fish taco. Killer gauc. Can't wait to come back for the pressed sandwiches and plantains.
Drink a massive agua fresca on the back patio and eat pollo el pastor tacos or baja fish tacos.
Fun outdoor space, good for groups, good beers on tap.
Drink outside with 3 giant redwood trees.
The new Uptown Oakland spot from Ali Tahsini features a huge patio outside and concoctions include a namesake drink with Old Tom gin, rye, lime, and raspberry, and a clarified-grapefruit Paloma. Read more.
Great beers in an awesome space with plenty of outdoor area to hang out. Between Fist of Flour, Tina Tamale & Chop Bar you won't go hungry.
Very chill spot to be, even on Friday afternoons. Seating is great and the restaurant next door is superb.
Great place to go for grub on a Fri night. Senor Sisig is worth the long wait. The Chairman's steamed pork belly sandwiches are awesome. Rich meat, tender roll, acid from daikon pickles cuts the fat.
Welcome to Oakland OTG! Excellent vibe
Koja kitchen was THE BOMB! An the Go (garlic noodles, lemongrass skewers) was DELICIOUS! Cremé brûlée cart was very disappointing. Pacific Puffs (creme puffs) was HEAVENLY. Not even crowded either!
Hit the side streets for some great gallery action.
Park a couple of blocks away and enjoy a nice walk to the event.
First Fridays in Oakland + Cinco de Mayo = Taqueria food truck in Oakland. 😁
Not sure if you have time to grab a cup of coffee or a morning scone? Drop by here! The Bart schedule is prominently displayed, and you can opt for a grab-n-go cup or a cup made to order!
Their Chai is made in-house! Mmm has a great kick to it.
Seriously one of the best cafes in the Bay Area, especially for working. Delicious coffees, free wifi and ample plugs. They carry a stellar selection of beans, at a premium. Drinks are priced well.
Good music, good drinks and a nice vibe. A pretty low key lounge that I enjoy
There's comedy here every Tuesday at 830pm FREE too no cover.
Booze and browse at this bohemian chic watering hole where all the meticulously selected furnishings are for sale. Read more.
Try the Lukas Burger & Fries - + Bacon & Avocado. I've had it many times... And it's always amazing.
French Fries with Dip
Best mac n' cheese of my life.
Known for their cocktails but they have a great beer list as well. Super crowded on weekends!
Kitchen closed before 7:30 on a show night at the Fox? Go fuck yourselves.
The Movement Jam on Tuesday nights is epic, plus it's happy hour all night!
Motown on Mondays is awesome!
Awesome new addition to the neighborhood!
Beef yassa wrap with plantains! I would pass on the fish kabob.
I don't know about the other weekend days but come here on a Saturday night for some great live world music and dance the night away. No entrance fee!
Afro Wrap, coconut or peanut sauce
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
