4 american places in Oakland we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Oakland | American across every city.
Oakland's American cooking runs from waterfront saloons to converted industrial yards, and much of it clusters around Uptown and the Jack London district. Heinold's First and Last Chance Saloon, the tilted little bar on Webster Street in the Jack London district, is one of the oldest rooms in the city, while Drake's Dealership turns a former car showroom on Broadway into a beer garden and kitchen. Up in North Oakland, Eli's Mile High Club pairs roadhouse food with live music, and The Hatch keeps the Uptown drinking-and-eating tradition going on 15th Street.
