Every Friday evening, OMCA hosts "Off the Grid." It's a food truck extravaganza, where they close down the street next to the museum, have a live band, give discount entrance to the museum, and it's a very Oakland scene. So much fun, for every age.

Amazing cocktails (ask for the Johnny Fever, even if it's not on the current menu). Indoor and outdoor space. Rooftop terrace. Perfect jumping off point for a night out. A rotating pop-up restaurant serves food, the beer selection is plentiful, and the corn hole games are serious! Several TVs inside and out, for catching a local sports game with an invested crowd.
