Extending from Grand Avenue south to 14th Street, and from the Williams Freeway east to Broadway, Uptown is the epicenter of art and culture in Oakland. Boasting some of the city’s trendiest spots to drink, dine, dance, and shop, the historic neighborhood lays just west of Lake Merritt and is home to Art Murmur’s First Fridays, the storied Fox Theater, Paramount Theatre, and a growing array of employers like Pandora, Kaiser Permanente, and Square. Convenient public transit on BART offers locals easy access around downtown Oakland and San Francisco.
