Featured Bars/Clubs
Place Pigalle
This dive gives those in Hayes Valley who'd rather not drop rent on a bar tab a place to go. Locals love the pool table and the foosball table, and after looking around at the well-worn couches, one may wonder, "Wait, am I in a frat house?"
The Final Final
Its walls covered by 49ers and Giants memorabilia, the Final Final is a solid place to kick back and watch sports in the Marina, with a crowd of regulars, sports enthusiasts, and whoever else shows up to enjoy the pool table, dartboard, and free popcorn.
Delirium
With nightly DJs playing good ol' rock 'n' roll, Delirium's small, black-walled back room is one of the city's coolest places when the DJs are firing on all cylinders. And with a motto like "service for the sick," we can dig it.Bars/Clubs Directory

Bench & Bar
510 17th St. Oakland, CA 94612
510-444-2266http://www.bench-and-bar.com This East Bay gay hotspot has moved a few short blocks closer to the resurgent Uptown neighborhood and is now located just around the corner from the Fox Theater. DJs spin Latin, R&B, hip-hop, house, Top 40, and more dance styles in a trendy downtown setting. Read more about this San Francisco bar or club >>

Cafe Van Kleef
1621 Telegraph Oakland, CA 94612
510-763-7711http://www.cafevankleef.com One of the first kids on the new Uptown block, Cafe Van Kleef's weekend stage hosts jazz, blues, and soulful rock bands in a playfully cluttered milieu that feels like a 1980s European art-house movie set (but only if it had been decorated by random stuff found at a kitschy rummage sale).

Club 21
2111 Franklin Oakland, CA 94612
510-268-9425http://www.club21oakland.com Opened in October 2009, this is the new gay nightclub in the old home of Bench & Bar. The regular Saturday night event ("La Bota Loca") and monthly lesbian dance ("Coochielicious: The Explosion") remain at this address, while many Bench & Bar events have migrated to its new space at 510 17th Street.

The Den at the Fox
1807 Telegraph Oakland, CA 94612
510-548-3010http://www.thedenoakland.com The Den is the luxe cocktail bar attached to the Fox Theater, with an opulent interior that offers a retro-classy environment in which to sip a few drinks before your chosen show next door (or perhaps just to lounge around while listening to select DJs and jazz musicians).

Fox Theater - Oakland
1807 Telegraph Oakland, CA 94612
510-548-3010http://www.thefoxoakland.com After lying dormant for many (too many) years, this grand old movie palace has finally reopened after massive renovation and rejuvenation efforts, thus making one of downtown Oakland's architectural crown jewels into one of the most glamorous places to see a concert in the East Bay. They almost paved this place over and put up a parking lot — but thankfully Paradise won for once. Read more about this San Francisco bar or club >>

Luka's Taproom & Lounge
2221 Broadway Oakland, CA 94612
510-451-4677http://www.lukasoakland.com With everything else going on at Luka's -- pool, pinball, DJs, dancing, art openings, 16 beers on tap at the full bar -- it seems astonishing that the happening spot (which took the place of an aging Hofbrau) should also have a happening kitchen, but it does. Serious sandwiches (flank steak, apricot-braised pork, a thick burger) and salads rule at lunch; dinner is even more serious, featuring such dishes as grilled rib-eye, choucroute garnie, braised lamb shank, and cioppino. An array of fresh seafood, including a plateau de fruits de mer and tasty crab fritters, is available at lunch and dinner. Finish with a crème fraîche mousse or a selection of cheeses.

The club's bilevel, brick-walled interior features an intimate stage area, two bars, and a wraparound balcony that provides additional vantage points as well as couches for relaxing between bands. There's also an enclosed outdoor patio for fresh air (and/or cigarette) breaks. Read more about this San Francisco bar or club >>

435 13th St. Oakland, CA 94612
510-451-2889http://www.facebook.com/pages/Radio/133284462450?ref=ts Very dark and very red - if this is how you like your drinking spots, you'll love Radio. A small boîte in downtown Oakland with crimson paper lanterns and candles as its only illumination, the Radio Bar goes from cozy to crowded with a quickness, especially when crowds squeeze in to hear DJs on weekends. A small, caged-in rear mezzanine area provides somewhere to escape from the bodies on the main floor. Read more about this San Francisco bar or club >>

Stork Club
2330 Telegraph Oakland, CA 94612
510-444-6174http://www.storkcluboakland.com The Stork Club is downtown Oakland's best destination for underground punk & metal bands, cheap drinks, and a shockingly large collection of still-packaged Barbie dolls. (Didn't expect that last one, did you?) There are no signs of gentrification trends here: the Stork remains a dive bar and proud of it. Read more about this San Francisco bar or club >>

Uptown Nightclub
1928 Telegraph Oakland, CA 94612
510-451-8100http://www.uptownnightclub.com Located across from the newly renovated Fox Theater and down the street from Cafe Van Kleef, the Uptown is a cornerstone venue in the resurgent downtown Oakland music scene. The interior is split into two rooms: the main cocktail area - with high ceilings, a towering and ornate antique back bar, and rotating art displays - and the less-fancy performance area with a basic stage at the far end. A sizable patio, tucked into the concrete-and-brick urban gulch out back, gives smokers and non-smokers alike an outdoor escape from the noise within. Indie pop, punk, rockabilly, hip-hop, burlesque events, DJ nights, and other hipster-bait bookings fill the calendar most nights of the week. Read more about this San Francisco bar or club >>
