For night life, Oakland’s venues range from intimate blues clubs to brewpubs and dance halls. The vibrant music scene means you can enjoy almost any sound—from jazz, blues, and hip-hop to zydeco, rock, and bluegrass. At Yoshi’s in Oakland’s Jack London Square, sophisticates gather to hear top-flight jazz by national and international headliners 363 days a year. USA Today names Yoshi’s one of the top ten “great places for a jazzy night out.” And of course, nearby San Francisco provides nightlife and excitement with something for everyone.
