Great intimate, living room feel… up close & personal. They attract top-flight talent & have provided me the opportunity to expand my horizons, with stellar, if less known musicians. The staff are lovely folk, every one, on every visit. This is clearly a labor of love for them. All of the food Ive enjoyed there, Ive, um, quite enjoyed. Theyve lost their lease & will need to move during summer 17. Theyre actively looking for the perfect location, for SR version 2.0.

Wonderful, wonderful place that I couldnt recommend more. The people who run this are friendly, flexible and helpful. We showed up on a sold out night with kids in tow, and they somehow still found us a place to sit. I love the ability to order small bites, wine & beer from the back during the show, and the sound is top-notch. Im so glad I discovered this place (from a friends recommendation), but wish I knew about it sooner.

The Sound Room is a remarkable place to comfortably get up close to Jazz and World music while enjoying savory tapas and wine. Ive seen straight ahead jazz, flamenco, faro and blues here and the talent they bring is superb. The Owners Karen and Robert are on site and orchestrating each performance, it makes for a great evening in the center of downtown Oakland. You should check it out!

This non-profit music venue usually features various types of jazz or blues artists, and is a true Oakland treasure. Its an intimate setting with its 15 or so small tables and maybe 20 stools along the walls occupied by a crowd that appreciates top quality music. These musicians may not be household names, folks, but you wont find better jazz or blues this side of New Orleans.

Nonprofit venue hosting great music. Intimate performance area, friendly staff and very reasonably priced refreshments (check out the creative beer glasses!) next to the ticket desk. Will definitely be back next time Im in the area.

Watched a great band and singer. They sell plates of snacks/ dinners/drinks. Small intimate place. They feature many differant venues. Street parking and paring area 1/2block away.

Popped in on some Jazz some Friday Oakland Art Murmur months ago. Stumbled upon a great young jazz trio Oakland Future Trio. Loved the vibes.

Intimate venue that equates to a private performance.
