Anyone Been To Yoshi's In Oakland? (1 Viewer)

[Al B. C]

It's my 25th wedding anniversary this year and I was contemplating popping for some pretty expensive tickets to see Diana Krall Memorial Day Weekend there.

Before I drop the dough, I wanna know if the place is as good as they promote it to be.

I'd like to make a weekend out of it so any suggestions on where to stay in the area would be appreciated as well.

Thanks.

ABSOLUTELY!

Yoshi's is a superb jazz club... it's a newish facility located in Jack London Square, which itself a great visitors' destination on the waterfront in Oakland.

The club is a gorgeous, intimate setting for music... the sound is among the very best I've heard in the Bay Area... you can enjoy a meal with the show (good sushi!)... I've been several times and am looking forward to the next visit.

Here is a link to lodging at JLS (no firsthand experience, but I hear the Dockside is fun)... and San Francisco is just across the Bay Bridge.

Enjoy.

Thanks a million Greg.

Before I spent a half a million bucks on seeing Miss Krall, I just wanted to make sure this was the real deal.

I appreciate the lodging links as well.

Oh well - it's only money.
