Absolutely amazing theater right in downtown Oakland. Close to everything. Good food nearby. The venue itself is stunning both inside and out. I was there for a 3 night SCI run of shows. First night I was right down front on the rail. The 2nd night I was still on the main floor but back up about two levels dead center. NYE I was dead center up on the top balcony in the isle that runs across the middle. The sound and lights were perfect and sonically/visually amazing everywhere. The staff was helpful and friendly. I was also there to volunteer with Conscious Alliance for their food drive and the staff not only brought food donations of their own but were also super helpful to us. Honestly I can't think of one bad thing to say about this place 5 stars and A+++ all around. I would see another show there any night.
Great place to see a show. Not a bad seat in the theater. I have seen Morrissey, Adam Ant and The English Beat. Sat in the Balcony for Morrissey and floor seats for Adam Ant. Parking garage on 9th street, which closes at 2am. Located two blocks from theater. Plenty of security on-site. Many food options in the neighborhood.
Attending Cory Wong's concert at the Fox Theater in Oakland was an absolute highlight of my evening! The atmosphere was electric, and his performance was nothing short of incredible. The venue itself provided excellent acoustics and a comfortable setting to fully immerse myself in the music. From start to finish, it was a memorable experience that left me wanting more. I can't wait for the next opportunity to catch another show there!
I grew up in the East Bay but moved away after high school so I had never seen a show at The Fox until I went to the Grouplove show.
My first impressions are very positive. I found a garage that only charged $5, a mexican restaurant across the street for a delicious pre-show meal, and then no line to get in about a 1/2 before show time.
The theater itself is stunning with its ambiance, a classic vintage setting. As soon as the show started I was impressed with our second platform viewing and the great acoustics were immediately evident.
All in all a great experience, I will definitely return soon 👍
I love the Fox Theater in Oakland. It’s beautiful and historic and very updated. We saw the Adam Ant concert and the sound was incredible. We especially loved the bar area…it was a completely separate bar/snack area with its own identity. I’ve been to the Fox Theater a number of times and always enjoy myself.
