Entertainment & Activities

Our local library is a great place to go and browse and relax. The kids' section is great, and there's even a pre-school story time at 10:30am on Thursday.

Perhaps not the most authentic Mexican food you'll find in Oakland, but the service is friendly, the food fresh and tasty (if a bit mild) and very family-friendly.

Drinks & Nightlife

This is our local. A fun taproom with OK food but great beer. Try "Pliny the Elder" if they have it on tap and you want a strong and excellent Northern California-style IPA.
